Modern C# Challenge

Learn advanced C# concepts and techniques such as building caches, cryptography, and parallel programming by solving interesting programming challengesKey FeaturesGain useful insights on advanced C# programming topics and APIsUse locking and cached values to solve parallel problemsTake advantage of .NET's cryptographic tools to encrypt and decrypt stringsBook DescriptionC# is a multi-paradigm programming language. The Modern C# Challenge covers with aspects of the .NET Framework such as the Task Parallel Library (TPL) and CryptoAPI. It also encourages you to explore important programming trade-offs such as time versus space or simplicity. There may be many ways to solve a problem and there is often no single right way, but some solutions are definitely better than others. This book has combined these solutions to help you solve real-world problems with C#.In addition to describing programming trade-offs, The Modern C# Challenge will help you build a useful toolkit of techniques such as value caching, statistical analysis, and geometric algorithms.By the end of this book, you will have walked through challenges in C# and explored the .NET Framework in order to develop program logic for real-world applications.What you will learnPerform statistical calculations such as finding the standard deviationFind combinations and permutationsSearch directories for files matching patterns using LINQ and PLINQFind areas of polygons using geometric operationsRandomize arrays and lists with extension methodsExplore the filesystem to find duplicate filesSimulate complex systems and implement equality in a classUse cryptographic techniques to encrypt and decrypt strings and filesWho this book is forThe Modern C# Challenge is for all C# developers of different abilities wanting to solve real-world problems. There are problems for everyone at any level of expertise in C#
