Rust has been ranked as one of the most loved languages by developers. In this series, you will learn the fundamentals of Rust development. We'll start by downloading the tools you need to program with Rust, walk through common concepts, and share what's unique about Rust. By the end of this series, you will have enough knowledge to go forth and write your own Rust programs. It's highly recommended that you watch this series if you have prior experience with programming in another language.
So when Microsoft acquired Xamarin in 2016 and started integrating the Xamarin Visual Studio plugins more with the standard VS features, I knew I had to try and switch over to take advantage of the powerful IDE and language. Some of the immediate benefits I gained from the switch are:
In the February 2016 issue of MSDN Magazine, I showed how to create a custom scripting language based on the Split-And-Merge algorithm for parsing mathematical expressions in C# (msdn.com/magazine/mt632273). I called my language Customizable Scripting in C#, or CSCS. Recently, I published an E-book that provided more details about creating a custom language (bit.ly/2yijCod). Creating your own scripting language might not initially seem to be particularly useful, even though there are some interesting applications of it (for example, game cheating). I also found some applications in Unity programming.
Known for its straightforward simplicity, PHP is an open source, general-purpose scripting language oriented for web development. In PHP Succinctly, author José Roberto Olivas Mendoza guides newcomers through PHP’s basics, which includes deployment, programming themes such as variables, decision making, arrays, functions, and databases, and the creation of a functional webpage that will connect to a database. By the end, you’ll be ready to join the vast community of PHP users around the world.
The Go programming language is relatively small and concise, but its depth makes it an ideal option for solving modern-day development problems. In Go Succinctly, author Mark Lewin guides readers through the basics of Go, and he provides documentation and resources that allow users to dive into the language and learn it for themselves. By the end of the book, novices and experienced programmers alike will be conversant in a language quickly gaining traction around the world.
What is concurrent programing? Simply described, it’s when you are doing more than one thing at the same time. Not to be confused with parallelism, concurrency is when multiple sequences of operations are run in overlapping periods of time. In the realm of programming, concurrency is a pretty complex subject. Dealing with constructs such as threads and locks and avoiding issues like race conditions and deadlocks can be quite cumbersome, making concurrent programs difficult to write. Through concurrency, programs can be designed as independent processes working together in a specific composition. Such a structure may or may not be made parallel; however, achieving such a structure in your program offers numerous advantages.
The dynamic keyword acts as a static type declaration in the C# type system. This way C# got the dynamic features and at the same time remained a statically typed language.
