reading the threading chapter C# 7.0
-
I'm reading the Threading Chapter of C# 7.0 in a Nutshell: The Definitive Reference: Joseph Albahari, Ben Albahari: 9781491987650: Amazon.com: Books[^]. I've done quite a bit of threading work, generally related to WinForms and Progress Bars and simpler challenges like that in the past. Now with Async / Await, I've done a bit too (under UWP) but this chapter is great because it starts with the more historical "manual" threading and builds through the modern ways to solve concurrency challenges. Really great, in-depth writing. Have any of you read this chapter?

No, but your book: Programming Windows 10 Via UWP, arrived late yesterday. I plan to start reading it today. First impression: I like the large size of the pages, making it easier to read for an old guy who is heavily dependent on reading glasses.
Get me coffee and no one gets hurt!

That's very cool. Thanks so much for trying my book out. I hope you find it useful.

Glad you like that too. I am now (over 40...by 10 years). I had 20/20 vision up until I was 42 or so and since then it's been reading glasses so I find it nice when things are a little more clear too. One of the big things I was shooting for on that was that the screen shots would still look good. I hope they do. Thanks again!:thumbsup:

No, we only have C# 6.0 in a Nutshell, but I agree that this is one of the most useful books around.

I think the threading chapter is very similar, if not the same in both anyways. This chapter is just so good. I really like the way it builds up the story of threading -- how it has worked in past, using lambdas, handling exceptions, etc. Each little bit step by step. Very cool.:cool: Great writing.

where i can find the book on UWP ?

does the newer versions of NutShell also contain the previous versions content in them, as if i remember i had read few chapters of c# 5.0 in a nutshell 2 years back and it was indeed a good read for me but wasn't able to finish the whole book.

Thanks for asking -- you can get it at amazon (chpt 1 - 15) only $2.99, but I can't get amazon's print book to work on that one for some reason it wont' format it properly: Programming Windows 10 View UWP (complete) chpt 1-15[^] You can get each of the separate (Part 1 & Part 2) print books also: Programming Windows 10 Via UWP: Part 1 (chapters 1-8) [^] Programming Windows 10 Via UWP: Part 2 (chapters 9-15) [^] Each of the parts is approx 200 pages long in print (8.5 x 11 inches).

Basically it does, because the authors are really good at explaining what has changed along the way which is also why the book is so good. For example in the threading chapter they talk about C# pre-lambda calls and how passing argument to a new thread is different back then. really great stuff.

A minor point (correction) but async/await is not threading and threading is not async/await. You can think of async/await as being Task based rather than Thread based.

Agreed. It is a concurrency / asynchronous thing not really threading. I now try to always say concurrency but I often fall back on old words. :) This is also why I'm reading this chapter because the authors cover all of this. Thanks

but then how the method executes asynchronously while the main thread still continues doing it's work , the async method which is being called in executed in what thread then ?

Does it talk about how to create an Asynchronous method using tasks? Most information I've found about async/await is about the caller, "You mark a method as async and then use await to call asynchronous methods". I haven't been able to find a lot on how one would actually go about writing an asynchronous method to be called by await.

I'm just reading the Async stuff today so I paged through. The information is very detailed about Async / Await and walks you through small detailed uses and builds upon it so they hit everything. A large number of pages dedicated to explaining it very well.

It looks like there are specific examples to do that also.
