Concurrency in .NET: Modern patterns of concurrent and parallel programming

I believe concurrency lies at the heart of software-hardware interactions, and therfore, understanding its nuances is a predicate for excelling in software. I mixed reading the book with pausing and pondering with chatgpt. Even after only finishing 200 pages in 2 months, my arguments and overall mental model is solidified. I am happy, and i think you would be too.

Packed tight with its wide variety examples in C# and F#, primarily functional-style covering common challenges to making your applications scale.

The book is exceptionally good, because it explains in clear terms and well-crafted diagrams modern concurrency in .NET. Being fluent in C# and F# I highly appreciate that the author provides a balanced discussion of both languages - pointing out where F#'s built-in features are often simpler and more powerful. However, readers who are not familiar with F# may be put-off by this. What I really like are the chapters on modern concurrency programming patterns in Part 3. They contain a treasure of tips highly useful to real world problems. I highly recommend this book to anyone who needs to create scalable and/or high-performance solutions in .NET
