Book Description:

This latest edition is extensively revised to accommodate all the latest features that come with C# 10 and .NET 6.

You will learn object-oriented programming, writing, testing, and debugging functions, implementing interfaces, and inheriting classes. The book covers the .NET APIs for performing tasks like managing and querying data, monitoring and improving performance, and working with the filesystem, async streams, serialization, and encryption. It provides examples of cross-platform apps you can build and deploy, such as websites and services using ASP.NET Core.

The best application for learning the C# language constructs and many of the .NET libraries does not distract with unnecessary application code. Hence, the C# and .NET topics covered in Chapters 1 to 12 feature console applications. In Chapters 13 to 17, having mastered the basics, you will build practical applications and services using ASP.NET Core, the Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern, and Blazor.

There are also two new online chapters on using .NET MAUI to build cross-platform apps and building services using a variety of technologies, including Web API, OData, gRPC, GraphQL, SignalR, and Azure Functions.
