Key benefits

  • Write efficient, fine-grained, and scalable parallel code with C# and .NET Core
  • Experience how parallel programming works by building a powerful application
  • Learn the fundamentals of multithreading by working with IIS and Kestrel

Description

In today’s world, every CPU has a multi-core processor. However, unless your application has implemented parallel programming, it will fail to utilize the hardware’s full processing capacity. This book will show you how to write modern software on the optimized and high-performing .NET Core 3 framework using C# 8. Hands-On Parallel Programming with C# 8 and .NET Core 3 covers how to build multithreaded, concurrent, and optimized applications that harness the power of multi-core processors. Once you’ve understood the fundamentals of threading and concurrency, you’ll gain insights into the data structure in .NET Core that supports parallelism. The book will then help you perform asynchronous programming in C# and diagnose and debug parallel code effectively. You’ll also get to grips with the new Kestrel server and understand the difference between the IIS and Kestrel operating models. Finally, you’ll learn best practices such as test-driven development, and run unit tests on your parallel code. By the end of the book, you’ll have developed a deep understanding of the core concepts of concurrency and asynchrony to create responsive applications that are not CPU-intensive.

Who is this book for?

If you want to learn how task parallelism is used to build robust and scalable enterprise architecture, this book is for you. Whether you are a beginner to parallelism in C# or an experienced architect, you’ll find this book useful to gain insights into the different threading models supported in .NET Standard and .NET Core. Prior knowledge of C# is required to understand the concepts covered in this book.

What you will learn

  • Analyze and break down a problem statement for parallelism
  • Explore the APM and EAP patterns and how to move legacy code to Task
  • Apply reduction techniques to get aggregated results
  • Create PLINQ queries and study the factors that impact their performance
  • Solve concurrency problems caused by producer-consumer race conditions
  • Discover the synchronization primitives available in .NET Core
  • Understand how the threading model works with IIS and Kestrel
  • Find out how you can make the most of server resources

The book is brilliantly written. It creates a foundation for you and then starting building advanced blocks on it. It makes the whole learning process very easy. The language used to explain the concepts and terminology is very simple, which makes it more wannabe. The use of diagrams and building blocks are extensive with great examples. Overall, a must-have book for technically savvy people.

I started using the TPL (task parallel library) at work so I wanted to pick up a reference book to see how to do it right.This book did an excellent job of detailing how to use the technology, with relevant and detailed examples of how to use the various classes and methods.

Poorly written. Concepts like task and thread are not explained well at all. Even the first chapter reads like Microsoft online manual, only with less details. Into the second chapter and decided not going to waist my time any more. If you buy it, make sure you start reading right way, so you still have a chance to return it. I missed the return deadline, and this book is quite pricey : /

What is custom duty/charge? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

  • If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
  • Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.
