Description
In today’s software development landscape, efficient memory management is crucial for ensuring application performance and scalability. Effective .NET Memory Management addresses this need by explaining the intricacies of memory utilization within .NET Core apps, from fundamental concepts to advanced optimization techniques.
Starting with an overview of memory management basics, you’ll quickly go through .NET’s garbage collection system. You’ll grasp the mechanics of memory allocation and gain insights into the distinctions between stack and heap memory and the nuances of value types and reference types. Building on this foundation, this book will help you apply practical strategies to address real-world app demands, spanning profiling memory usage, spotting memory leaks, and diagnosing performance bottlenecks, through clear explanations and hands-on examples. This book goes beyond theory, detailing actionable techniques to optimize data structures, minimize memory fragmentation, and streamline memory access in scenarios involving multithreading and asynchronous programming for creating responsive and resource-efficient apps that can scale without sacrificing performance.
By the end of this book, you’ll have gained the knowledge to write clean, efficient code that maximizes memory usage and boosts app performance.
Who is this book for?
This book is for developers and professionals who are beyond the beginner stage and seek in-depth knowledge of memory management techniques within the context of .NET Core. Whether you are an experienced developer aiming to enhance application performance or an architect striving for optimal resource utilization, this book serves as a comprehensive guide to mastering memory management intricacies. To fully benefit from this book, you should have a solid understanding of C# programming and familiarity with the basics of .NET Core development.
What you will learn
Master memory allocation techniques to minimize resource wastage
Differentiate between stack and heap memory, and use them efficiently
Implement best practices for object lifetimes and garbage collection
Understand .NET Core's memory management principles for optimal performance
Identify and fix memory leaks to maintain application reliability
Optimize memory usage in multithreaded and asynchronous applications
Utilize memory profiling tools to pinpoint and resolve memory bottlenecks
Apply advanced memory management techniques to enhance app scalability
While the book offers a solid foundation for less experienced .NET developers, it could benefit from more concise editing. There's a noticeable amount of repetition and irrelevant content, particularly regarding memory management. While it was helpful for refreshing my understanding of certain concepts, I didn't find any groundbreaking insights or advanced techniques. For those seeking in-depth knowledge or cutting-edge practices, this book might fall short.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles?
We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible.
