Part 1: High-Performance Code Foundation

Part 1 covers the foundation of high-performance code. We cover what’s new in C# 10.0 and .NET 6, including performance improvements. Next, we look at the interoperability that is available that allows the gradual porting of Python systems to C#, followed by the garbage collector. You will learn how types can negatively impact performance, as can manually calling the garbage collector. And finally, we look at how we can use profiling tools to identify and address performance issues.

This part contains the following chapters:

• Chapter 1, Implementing C# 10.0 and .NET 6
• Chapter 2, Introducing C# Interoperability
• Chapter 3, Predefined Data Types and Memory Allocations
• Chapter 4, Memory Management
• Chapter 5, Application Profiling and Tracing
