What's new in this fourth edition?
For this fourth edition, we went through the whole book and brought everything up-to-date for C# 8.0 and .NET Core 3.0. This edition also has two completely new chapters. The first new chapter is about Content Management Systems for enabling non-technical people to manage their own content on a website without developers needing to be involved. We look at a great CMS for .NET Core named Piranha CMS that is simple to learn, and fast and fun to develop for.
The second new chapter is about ML.NET, which is Microsoft’s library for adding machine learning intelligence to any .NET app. We also added new topics throughout the book covering all the important new C# language features like nullable reference types, simplified switch pattern matching, and default interface methods.
