As modern .NET applications grow increasingly reliant on concurrency to deliver responsive, scalable experiences, mastering asynchronous and parallel programming has become essential for every serious ...

Structured concurrency offers a more organized and more intuitive way of managing the lifetimes of asynchronous tasks. Here’s how to take advantage of it in C#. Modern programming languages such as C# ...

Asynchronous programming enables you to perform resource-intensive I/O operations without having to block on the main or the executing thread of the application. Though beneficial and seemingly easy ...

A couple of months ago, I did a column on using the new asynchronous methods that come with Entity Framwork (EF) 6.1. I got taken to task by my readers for creating overly complex solutions, who ...

Separating interface from implementation has many practical benefits. Here’s a simple way to do just that, in ANSI-standard C code. How do you organize medium-sized or larger C programs? Few C ...

The C programming language is one of the most influential in computing history. In just 100 seconds, learn why C remains the backbone of modern software—powering operating systems like Linux, Windows, ...

From our study of C++, it should be clear that, unlike class encapsulation and single inheritance, which were essentially free in C, polymorphism in C involves some complexity and overhead. In the ...

How do I learn the C programming language on my Apple Mac? The C programming language has been around since the 1970s, but it has never gone out of style, and learning C is one of the best computer ...

The ubiquitous field-programmable gate array (FPGA) is finding use as a software accelerator in many applications, including the communications, image processing, biomedical, and scientific computing ...

We ran a piece last year summarizing an IEEE study of programming-language popularity based on job listings. This article fostered conversation, including debates about whether the languages IEEE used ...
