C# 7.0 brings a lot of new functionality to the C# language. If you were left wanting more after the release of C# 6.0, then C# 7.0 will not disappoint you at all. It focuses on consuming data, simplifying code, and improving performance. Mads Torgersen who is the C# Program Manager noted that C# 7.0's biggest feature by far is Tuples. The other is pattern matching. These two features (as well as the others) were met with enthusiasm from C# developers worldwide. It is, therefore, no guess that developers will immediately start implementing these new features introduced in C# 7.0. It will, therefore, be very beneficial to get to grips with what C# 7.0 has to offer and implement the new language features in your development projects as soon as possible.

Throughout this book, I will be using the release candidate of Visual Studio 2017. Some features and methods of doing things might change between the time of writing and the final release of Visual Studio 2017.

Key benefits

Easy-to-follow recipes to get you up-and-running with the new features of C# 7 and .NET Core 1.1

Practical solutions to assist you with microservices and serverless computing in C#

Explore the new Visual Studio environment and write more secure code in it

Description

C# has recently been open-sourced and C# 7 comes with a host of new features for building powerful, cross-platform applications. This book will be your solution to some common programming problems that you come across with C# and will also help you get started with .NET Core 1.1. Through a recipe-based approach, this book will help you overcome common programming challenges and get your applications ready to face the modern world. We start by running you through new features in C# 7, such as tuples, pattern matching, and so on, giving you hands-on experience with them. Moving forward, you will work with generics and the OOP features in C#. You will then move on to more advanced topics, such as reactive extensions, Regex, code analyzers, and asynchronous programming. This book will also cover new, cross-platform .NET Core 1.1 features and teach you how to utilize .NET Core on macOS. Then, we will explore microservices as well as serverless computing and how these benefit modern developers. Finally, you will learn what you can do with Visual Studio 2017 to put mobile application development across multiple platforms within the reach of any developer.
