Overview
Build on your existing programming skills and upskill to professional-level C# programming.
Summary
In Code Like A Pro in C# you will learn:
Unit testing and test-driven development
Refactor a legacy .NET codebase
Principles of clean code
Essential backend architecture skills
Query and manipulate databases with LINQ and Entity Framework Core
Critical business applications worldwide are written in the versatile C# language and the powerful .NET platform, running on desktops, cloud systems, and Windows or Linux servers. Code Like a Pro in C# makes it easy to turn your existing abilities in C# or another OO language (such as Java) into practical C# mastery. There’s no “Hello World” or Computer Science 101 basics—you’ll learn by refactoring an out-of-date legacy codebase, using new techniques, tools, and best practices to bring it up to modern C# standards.
Purchase of the print book includes a free eBook in PDF, Kindle, and ePub formats from Manning Publications.
