Description
Book SynopsisDescription Functional languages help developers support concurrency by encouraging immutable data structures that can be passed between threads without having to worry about a shared state, all while avoiding side effects. Functional Concurrency in .NET teaches readers how to build concurrent and scalable programs in .NET using the functional paradigm. This intermediate-level guide is aimed at developers, architects, and passionate computer programmers. Key Features • In-depth explanations • Hands-on examples • Step-by-step instructions Audience This book is for readers with solid knowledge of a mainstream programming language, preferably C# or F#. About the technology To maximize the utilization of the computational resources available, the Microsoft .NET platform provides parallel execution of code through multithreading. By leveraging parallelism, a program can take full advantage of the resources available. Riccardo Terrell is a .NET seasoned software engineer, senior software architect and Microsoft MVP who is passionate about functional programming. He is well known and actively involved in the functional programming community including .NET meet ups and conferences and is the organizer for the Washington DC F# User Group. MANNING
