If you're one of the many developersuncertain about concurrent and multithreaded development, this practicalcookbook will change your mind. With more than 75 code-rich recipes, authorStephen Cleary demonstrates parallel processing and asynchronous programmingtechniques, using libraries and language features in .NET 4.5 and C# 5.0.
Concurrency is becoming more common in responsive and scalable applicationdevelopment, but it’s been extremely difficult to code. The detailed solutionsin this cookbook show you how modern tools raise the level of abstraction,making concurrency much easier than before. Complete with ready-to-use code anddiscussions about how and why the solution works, you get recipes for using:
async and await for asynchronous operations
Parallel programming with the Task Parallel Library
The TPL Dataflow library for creating dataflow pipelines
Capabilities that Reactive Extensions build on top of LINQ
Unit testing with concurrent code
Interop scenarios for combining concurrent approaches
Immutable, threadsafe, and producer/consumer collections
Cancellation support in your concurrent code
Asynchronous-friendly Object-Oriented Programming
Thread synchronization for accessing data
