Purchase options and add-ons

An accessible guide for beginner-to-intermediate programmers to concepts, real-world applications, and latest features of C# 11 and .NET 7, with hands-on exercises using Visual Studio 2022 and Visual Studio Code.


Purchase of the print or Kindle book includes a free eBook in PDF format.


Key Features:

  • Explore the newest additions to C# 11, the .NET 7 class libraries, and Entity Framework Core 7
  • Create professional websites and services with ASP.NET Core 7 and Blazor
  • Build your confidence with step-by-step code examples and tips for best practices


Book Description:

Extensively revised to accommodate the latest features that come with C# 11 and .NET 7, this latest edition of our guide will get you coding in C# with confidence.


You'll learn object-oriented programming, writing, testing, and debugging functions, implementing interfaces, and inheriting classes. Next, you'll take on .NET APIs for performing tasks like managing and querying data, working with the filesystem, and serialization. As you progress, you'll also explore examples of cross-platform projects you can build and deploy, such as websites and services using ASP.NET Core.


Instead of distracting you with unnecessary graphical user interface code, the first eleven chapters will teach you about C# language constructs and many of the .NET libraries through simple console applications. In later chapters, having mastered the basics, you'll then build websites, web services, and browser apps using ASP.NET Core, the Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern, and Blazor.


C# 11 and .NET 7 - Modern Cross-Platform Development Fundamentals will give you a solid foundation to start building apps and services with confidence. By the end of this book, you'll be able to create rich web experiences and have a solid grasp on object-oriented programming that you can build upon.


What You Will Learn:

  • Build rich web experiences using Blazor, Razor Pages, the Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern, and other features of ASP.NET Core
  • Build your own types with object-oriented programming
  • Write, test, and debug functions
  • Query and manipulate data using LINQ
  • Integrate and update databases in your apps using Entity Framework Core models
  • Build and consume powerful services using the latest technologies, including Web API and Minimal API


Who this book is for:

This book is primarily for beginners, but intermediate-level C# and .NET programmers who have worked with C# in the past and want to catch up with the changes made in the past few years will also find plenty of useful information in it. Prior exposure to C# or .NET is not a prerequisite, but you should have a general understanding of programming before you jump in.


If you already have some C# and .NET skills and want to focus on developing apps, we recommend that you pick up Mark's other .NET book, Apps and Services with .NET 7, instead.

What approach does this book take to get readers started with C# 11 and .NET 7?

One of the key benefits is that it offers great value by balancing just the right amount of breadth with depth, teaching you a broad range of skills and technologies that you’ll be able to implement in the real world.

I briefly introduce a concept, like a C# language feature, a .NET API, or a web development task, and then take you step-by-step through writing simple code and running it to see the feature in action. Each chapter ends with review questions and exercises to complete.

  • Designed for those new to programming or trying a career change

c#11 .net 7

What’s new in this seventh edition?

For this seventh edition, I went through the whole book and brought everything up to date for C# 11 and .NET 7.

This book covers some of the most useful new C# 11 features. For example, list patterns extend existing pattern matching, like type and property matching, to match elements in a sequence like a list or an array. My personal favorite new C# 11 feature is raw string literals, which make it much easier to define text values that contain whitespace, quotes, and other special characters without requiring escape sequences.

As usual with a major new version of .NET, there are many performance improvements that you will benefit from without needing to change your code. Tar archive support has been added, and there is better support for Linux filesystems. JSON serialization now has better polymorphism support and more convenience methods like ReadExactly. Probably the most consequential addition to ASP.NET Core 7 is the return of output caching.

C# 11 and .NET 7 – Modern Cross-Platform Development Fundamentals

What should our readers’ next steps be after this book? What learning path would you recommend?

After learning the fundamentals of modern cross-platform development using C# 11 and .NET 7 and putting them into practice with web development basics using ASP.NET Core, the next step is to expand those skills by reading my second book, Apps and Services with .NET 7.

There are many technologies for common programming tasks. My book will get you started with all of them, so it is the best value for your time and money. Each chapter introduces a technology; you learn the basic concepts and capabilities and implement some of the most important parts. Once you’ve built a project yourself and seen the tech in action, you can then turn to the official documentation to continue learning, or look at an advanced book.

The hardest challenge for software developers is keeping up with all the changes and new tech in the industry. You often do not know if a technology is something you should learn or that you would enjoy until you’ve learned a bit about it. That’s where my books fill the gap.

  • Writing, Debugging, and Testing Functions

Editorial Reviews

Review

"This book is a comprehensive guide for developers exploring the world of .NET, and Mark makes the journey more enjoyable and efficient by introducing lots of best practices and code samples. This is the book I recommend to my students to maximize their start."

--

Daniel Costea, Microsoft MVP, Developer Technologies



"A very well-done book, complete with examples with everything you need to learn how to write applications with the new .NET 7 framework. Very interesting parts on Entity Framework 7 and the development of web applications, both ASP.NET and Blazor."

--

Luca Congiu, Cloud Solution Architect



"An outstanding resource for those learning C# and for those of us who've been writing in C# for 20 years. One of Mark's great talents is to provide accurate and comprehensive coverage of topics without reading like technical documentation and language lawyering. A terrific integration of the latest updates to C# rather than tacking the new things onto older code."

This is the 3rd book that I bought to learn/update my knowledge and skills on C# and .Net (thanks to the constant updates to the framework from Microsoft). The author did an amazing job in structuring the book and using examples throughout the book. I am very impressed by how responsible the author is. I joined the Discord group and asked the author questions when I encountered a problem. He responded quickly and pointed the right direction. He further wrote improvement code for the future editions. The GitHub codes, improvements, corrections and the Discord groups are all very helpful.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not for beginners
Reviewed in the United States on May 9, 2023
Verified Purchase
This book relies heavily on show not tell. Leaning by this method is beginner hostile as it creates an unnecessary reliance on outside material to supplement the lack of instruction. There were many keywords during the early chapters that fall under this practice and it's frustrating.

I understand that the focus of the book isn't on teaching the fundamentals of C#, however I don't understand why it makes sense to include content if it's not explained. I often find myself searching for information outside of the book to better understand what is being taught. This is not an okay method to teach.

If I were to give constructive feed back for the next iteration of this book: trim the fat. If there isn't an explanation for every NEW piece code within the paragraph/section remove all references entirely. Keeping the unexplained material prevents the reader from moving forward. Also, expand on the index. It is woefully difficult to find anything via the index to the point where I've stopped bothering.

5.0 out of 5 stars Has become the essential resource for .NET developers
Reviewed in the United States on November 16, 2022
If you are an experienced .NET developer or just getting started with C#, you need to get expert teacher Mark J. Price’s 7th Edition book, C# 11 and .NET 7.

I have read the previous two editions of the book. Mark has put a lot of effort into this 7th Edition, and I continue to be impressed. It takes a lot of effort to update a technology book. You not only add the new technology coverage, but Mark takes the time to review existing content to improve it.

The 6th edition: #1 Best Seller in C# Programming. #1 Best Seller in ASP.NET Programming. #1 Best Seller in Microsoft .NET.

The 7th (this) edition: #1 New Release in C# Programming.

It gives you everything you need to start programming C# applications and services. For experienced devs, it gets you up to speed on what’s new and Mark provides tables to show you which sections can be skipped based on what you already know and which sections to jump to for what’s new in C# 11 and .NET 7. But you may be surprised to learn something new even in those sections you think you know.

Mark realizes that we learn best by getting our hands on the keyboard, typing, and running code. So, he includes a practice and exploring section at the end of each chapter. The best way to learn is by typing everything in instead of just copy/paste. But if you get stuck he includes all the source code on GitHub.

Mark walks through examples using:
• Visual Studio
• Visual Studio Code
• Dotnet CLI

The book covers the full range of C# programming concepts and app development including building ASP.NET Core websites (with Razor Pages and MVC), web APIs, Blazor server and WebAssembly apps, mobile apps, desktop apps, interacting with files and databases with EF Core 7. He really has included all the essential concepts and topics to get you going quickly.

Mark has many years of experience, with many certifications and while at Microsoft he taught “train-the-trainer” classes. This experience comes through in the book. He does a great job of not only explaining concepts but sharing the ‘why’ behind his explanations and decisions. It is like you are in one of Mark’s classes and he is there with you walking you through each section. And it is like he has anticipated each question you would have and provided step by step instructions to answer them.

Packt continues to put out great books and this one is no exception. I encourage you to pick up a copy. Highly recommended!
