Preface

Parallel programming and concurrency have become prevalent in modern software development. In this book, you will learn how to leverage the latest asynchronous, parallel, and concurrency features in .NET 6 when building your next application. We will explore the power of multithreaded C# development patterns and practices. By exploring the benefits and challenges of threading in .NET through concise, real-world examples, choosing the right option for your project will become second nature.

You have many choices when introducing multithreading to a new or existing .NET application. The goal of this book is to not only teach you how to use parallel programming and concurrency in C# and .NET but also to help you understand which of the constructs to choose for a given scenario. Whether you are developing for desktop, mobile, the web, or the cloud, performance and responsiveness are key to the success of an application. This book will help every type of C# developer to scale their applications to their users’ needs and avoid the pitfalls often encountered with multithreaded development.
