Description
Over 70 recipes to get you writing powerful and efficient multithreaded, asynchronous, and parallel programs in C# 6.0
Key Features
[*] Rewritten and updated to take advantage of the latest C# 6 features
[*] Learn about multithreaded, asynchronous, and parallel programming through hands-on, code-first examples
[*] Use these recipes to build fast, scalable, and reliable applications in C#
Book DescriptionMulti-core processors are synonymous with computing speed and power in today's world, which is why multithreading has become a key concern for C# developers. Multithreaded code helps you create effective, scalable, and responsive applications. This is an easy-to-follow guide that will show you difficult programming problems in context. You will learn how to solve them with practical, hands-on, recipes. With these recipes, you'll be able to start creating your own scalable and reliable multithreaded applications. Starting from learning what a thread is, we guide you through the basics and then move on to more advanced concepts such as task parallel libraries, C# asynchronous functions, and much more. Rewritten to the latest C# specification, C# 6, and updated with new and modern recipes to help you make the most of the hardware you have available, this book will help you push the boundaries of what you thought possible in C#. What you will learn
[*]Use C# 6.0 asynchronous language features
[*]Work with raw threads, synchronize threads, and coordinate their work
[*]Develop your own asynchronous API with Task Parallel Library
[*]Work effectively with a thread pool
[*]Scale up your server application with I/O threads
[*]Parallelize your LINQ queries with PLINQ
[*]Use common concurrent collections
[*]Apply different parallel programming patterns
[*]Use Reactive Extensions to run asynchronous operations and manage their options
Who this book is forThis book is aimed at those who are new to multithreaded programming, and who are looking for a quick and easy way to get started. It is assumed that you have some experience in C# and .NET already, and you should also be familiar with basic computer science terminology and basic algorithms and data structures.

Agafonov Evgenii :
Eugene Agafonov leads Lingvo Live development department at ABBYY, and lives and works in Moscow. He has over 15 years of professional experience in software development, and started to work with C# since it was in beta version. He is Microsoft MVP in ASP.NET since 2006 and he often speaks at local software development conferences, like DevCon Russia, about cutting edge technologies in modern web and server-side application development. His main professional interests are cloud-based software architecture, scalability and reliability. Eugene is a huge fan of football and plays the guitar with a local rock band. You can reach him at his personal blog eugeneagafonov.com or twitter @eugene_agafonov. 3. Other books you may have worked on. Multithreading in C# 5.0 Cookbook 4. Acknowledgements - people you'd like to thank for their help in producing this book, (friends, family, etc) - this part is written in the first person. I'd like it just to be a dedication To Mom and Dad - you are the best parents on Earth and I love you so much
