Book Description
C # and .NET remain the backbone of modern enterprise and cross-platform development. Whether you're building high-performance websites and services on Windows or Linux or desktop apps that run on Windows and macOS, the .NET ecosystem provides a mature yet constantly evolving foundation for software development. With the release of C # 14 and .NET 10, developers now have access to a more powerful toolset.
This tenth edition has been thoroughly updated to reflect the latest features. It begins with a deep grounding in object-oriented programming and then walks you through building, testing, and debugging functions, as well as managing resources with .NET libraries. You'll work with data using LINQ and serialization, handle filesystem operations, and integrate new features like numerical string comparisons and OrderedDictionary improvements. This book explains C # 14 updates, such as field modifiers, partial events, and instance constructors, in a real-world context. It also guides you in building practical projects with ASP.NET Core 10, exploring Blazor and Minimal API web services that support AOT compilation—ideal for microservices and containers.
By the end of the book, you’ll be ready to ship professional websites, services, and tools across platforms, confident in your ability to build software that's maintainable, efficient, and aligned with modern .NET development.
What you will learn
Discover the new features in .NET 10, including the NumericOrdering option and OrderedDictionary enhancements
Leverage the latest ASP.NET Core 10 features, such as OpenAPI 3.1 document generation, YAML format support, and populating XML doc comments
Use native AOT publishing for faster startup and reduced memory footprint

Who this book is for
This book is for beginner-to-intermediate level C # and .NET developers. While prior experience with C # or .NET is not a prerequisite, a general understanding of programming concepts will be helpful.
To learn about technologies for building modern .NET projects such as gRPC, SignalR, and GraphQL for services, or Avalonia, Blazor, and .NET MAUI for apps, read Mark's Apps and Services with .NET 10.
For more mature web development technologies like ASP.NET Core MVC, controller-based Web API services, OData services, and Umbraco CMS, check out Mark's Real-World Web Development with .NET 10.

Discover the full power of modern C programming, with an inside look at the new C23 standard.

For programs that need to be small, fast, and reliable, C is the gold standard. Whether you’re writing embedded code, low-level system routines, or high-performance applications, C is up to the challenge. This unique book by Jens Gustedt, a member of the ISO C standards committee, gets you up to speed with C23.

In Modern C, Third Edition you’ll:

• Learn C basics, core features, and advanced concepts
• Leverage major C23 improvements for security, reliability, and performance
• Write portable code that runs anywhere
• Build multi-threaded applications with atomics and synchronization
• Create robust and resilient software with error handling
• Use type-generic programming for reusable code

In Modern C, Third Edition you’ll learn to harness C’s full potential using the latest tools and techniques. After a quick review of the fundamentals suited for coders who haven’t used C in a while, this book guides you to mastery of C23, the latest ISO standard.

About the Technology

From code running on the smallest embedded devices to the low-level libraries behind popular programming languages like Python and Ruby, the software world depends on C. And even after 50 years, it’s still getting better! The new C23 standard adds improvements for security, reliability, and performance. In this thoroughly-revised new edition, author Jens Gustedt gives you an authoritative inside view.
