Harness the power of the C# type system to write programs that are clearer, simpler, and more efficient.Harness the power of the C# type system to write programs that are clearer, simpler, and more efficient.The type system is the foundation upon which all C# programs are built. The C# Type System will show you how todefine and implement value types effectively, and write more performant and robust code. Real-world code examplesand test cases throughout will elevate your programming with C# and show you how best to implement the principlesyou're learning.Among the core aspects of working with the type system, you'll learn-. How user-defined value types, and even simple types, can enhance your code's readability. How reference and value types differ within C#. How method parameters and arguments relate to reference and value types. How differences in copy semantics between value and reference types affect a program's behavior. How the different methods of value comparisons for equality work behind the scenes. The unique characteristics and roles of various types in an application, especially how value types go beyond meredata storage. Why inheritance isn't optimal for value types. How to measure and evaluate the performance of an app's use of different data typesWhether you're a novice or seasoned programmer, you'll find The C# Type System indispensable in your efforts to turn good code into great.
"A detailed analysis of low-level aspects of C# and .NET memory management and performance."
—Jon Skeet, Senior Staff Engineer at Google and Convenor of the ECMA Technical Group for C# Standardization
"Exceptionally 'user friendly' in organization and presentation, The C# Type System is the ideal DIY instruction manual that is unreservedly recommended for novice users and seasoned programmers alike."
