C# 5 First Look

Write ultra responsive applications using the new asynchronous features of C#.

Overview

• Learn about all the latest features of C#, including the asynchronous programming capabilities that promise to make apps ultra-responsive.
• Examine how C# evolved over the years to be more expressive, easier to write, and how those early design decisions enabled future innovations.
• Explore the language's bright future building applications for other platforms using the Mono Framework.

In Detail

C# is a wonderfully expressive and powerful language that lets you focus on your application rather than low level boilerplate. Over the last decade, the C# compiler has evolved to include many features from dynamic and functional languages, all while remaining statically typed. Most recently, it also tackles the proliferation of concurrent hardware with new asynchronous programming features

"C# 5 First Look" will help you get up to speed on the latest version of the language. You will learn the underlying principles of the design by exploring its evolution, then look at the asynchronous and concurrent programming facilities of the Task Parallel Framework, and the new async and await keywords. The book also takes you through the development of real-world applications for Windows 8, ASP.NET, and MacOS, using the Mono Framework.

"C# 5 First Look" will help you get up to speed on the latest version of C#. After setting up your development environment, you will go on a tour of all features of the language, including: the Task Parallel Framework, Dynamic Language Runtime, TPL Data Flow, and finally asynchronous programming with async and await.

"C# 5 First Look" will help you get up to speed on the latest version of C#. We will discuss the tools you need to get started, including Visual Studio and MonoDevelop. Once set up, we look at the highlights of the language's evolution over every version and discuss how the framework's design and language features contribute to the high productivity you experience as a C# programmer. Next we check out the asynchronous and concurrent programming features of the language, which help you write fast and responsive applications. Finally, the book presents and explains three fully featured pieces of software that demonstrate writing applications for the Windows Store, the Web, and MacOS with the Mono Framework.

"C# 5 First Look" is a look at the evolution of C#. You will learn how to write great apps on all platforms using modern C# language features. Whether you are targeting the desktop, mobile, or web, C# 5 First Look has you covered.

What you will learn from this book

• Getting your environment set up with Visual Studio or MonoDevelop.

Approach

This will be a mix of concept introduction and examples, and with each new feature and enhancement we will give an example to the readers. C# 5 First Look will provide a gist of C# 5 to the readers.

使用C#的新異步功能來編寫超高響應的應用程式。

概述:
- 學習所有最新的C#功能，包括異步編程能力，承諾使應用程式具有超高響應性。
- 檢視C#在多年間的演進，變得更具表達性、更容易撰寫，以及這些早期設計決策如何促成未來的創新。
- 探索使用Mono Framework為其他平台建立應用程式的C#光明未來。

詳細內容:
C#是一種非常具表達力和強大的語言，讓您專注於應用程式而不是低階的樣板代碼。在過去的十年中，C#編譯器已經演進，包括了許多來自動態和函數式語言的功能，同時仍然保持靜態類型。最近，它還通過新的異步編程功能應對了並行硬體的普及。

《C# 5 First Look》將幫助您快速掌握這個語言的最新版本。您將通過探索其演進來了解其設計的基本原則，然後查看Task Parallel Framework的異步和並行編程功能，以及新的async和await關鍵字。本書還將引導您開發用於Windows 8、ASP.NET和MacOS的真實應用程式，使用Mono Framework。
