Programmering: .NET

An accessible guide for beginner-to-intermediate programmers to concepts, real-world applications, and latest features of C# 11 and .NET 7, with hands-on exercises using Visual Studio 2022 and Visual Studio Code.Purchase of the print or Kindle book includes a free eBook in PDF format.Key Features:Explore the newest additions to C# 11, the .NET 7 class libraries, and Entity Framework Core 7Create professional websites and services with ASP.NET Core 7 and BlazorBuild your confidence with step-by-step code examples and tips for best practicesBook Description:Extensively revised to accommodate the latest features that come with C# 11 and .NET 7, this latest edition of our guide will get you coding in C# with confidence.You'll learn object-oriented programming, writing, testing, and debugging functions, implementing interfaces, and inheriting classes. Next, you'll take on .NET APIs for performing tasks like managing and querying data, working with the filesystem, and serialization. As you progress, you'll also explore examples of cross-platform projects you can build and deploy, such as websites and services using ASP.NET Core.Instead of distracting you with unnecessary graphical user interface code, the first eleven chapters will teach you about C# language constructs and many of the .NET libraries through simple console applications. In later chapters, having mastered the basics, you'll then build websites, web services, and browser apps using ASP.NET Core, the Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern, and Blazor.C# 11 and .NET 7 - Modern Cross-Platform Development Fundamentals will give you a solid foundation to start building apps and services with confidence. By the end of this book, you'll be able to create rich web experiences and have a solid grasp on object-oriented programming that you can build upon.What You Will Learn:Build rich web experiences using Blazor, Razor Pages, the Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern, and other features of ASP.NET CoreBuild your own types with object-oriented programmingWrite, test, and debug functionsQuery and manipulate data using LINQIntegrate and update databases in your apps using Entity Framework Core modelsBuild and consume powerful services using the latest technologies, including Web API and Minimal APIWho this book is for:This book is primarily for beginners, but intermediate-level C# and .NET programmers who have worked with C# in the past and want to catch up with the changes made in the past few years will also find plenty of useful information in it. Prior exposure to C# or .NET is not a prerequisite, but you should have a general understanding of programming before you jump in.If you already have some C# and .NET skills and want to focus on developing apps, we recommend that you pick up Mark's other .NET book, Apps and Services with .NET 7, instead.

After decades of relative obscurity, functional programming is finally coming into its own. With concise, easy-to-read code that supports asynchronous, concurrent processing, aspects of functional programming have begun to appear in several traditionally object-oriented languages such as C# and Java. This practical book shows C# programmers how to use functional programming features without having to navigate an entirely new language. Because of the shared runtime environment common to C# and F# languages, it's possible to use most of F#'s functional features in C# as well. Author Simon J. Painter explains how you can write functional code in C# right away, without having to install dependencies or features newer than .NET 3. You'll learn why functional programming concepts can bring immediate benefit to your work. Learn what functional programming is and how it originated Discover features of the functional paradigm using a more familiar language Start coding functionally in C# right away, without relying on third-party libraries Write code that's more robust, less error prone, and easier to test Examine less conventional ways to look at structures available in C# Explore the practicalities of using functional C# in a business environment.

Learn how to build cross-platform mobile apps from a single shared codebase KEY FEATURES ¿ Covers fundamental and advanced aspects of multi-platform mobile development¿ Revisit the fundamentals of .NET and C# to create modern native apps more quickly¿ Check out tips and advice on getting started as a successful mobile developer DESCRIPTION For any mobile developer, it's clear that Xamarin knowledge is vital, thanks to the reintroduction of .NET MAUI. This book provides the reader with complete hands-on experience in designing cross-platform mobile applications with Xamarin, C#, and .NET.The book discusses the importance of cross-platform mobile app development and the benefits of learning Xamarin. The book delivers a quick lesson on C# and Visual Studio to implement all of the knowledge gained in this book into your first mobile application.In the second half of the book, you'll learn to start from scratch using Xamarin and create mobile apps in C#. It explains how to utilise Visual Studio as the development environment, design the user interface using the XAML markup language, organise common controls into layouts, and create multi-page applications with navigation and various pages. This includes creating reusable resources, such as styles and templates, and the use of local and remote databases for data manipulation. In addition, the book offers expert advice on the requirements of a standard mobile application, such as handling network connection, battery level, and safeguarding data in the device's secure storage.WHAT YOU WILL LEARN¿ Learn every aspect of Xamarin to create cross-platform mobile applications.¿ Refresh .NET, C#, and Visual Studio skills required for mobile development.¿ Build UI with XAML, views, and layouts, including navigation.¿ Use reusable resources, data-oriented coding, multimedia support, and debug code.¿ Explore advanced programming patterns and ways to improve performance.WHO THIS BOOK IS FORThis book is intended for beginners, aspiring mobile developers, .NET users, Visual Studio users, and application developers eager to design and build mobile apps compatible with numerous platforms. This book will also refresh your knowledge of .NET and C# so you can begin Xamarin development rapidly.
