about

This repository contains the example code snippets referenced in my book Street Coder published by Manning Publications.

requirements

Most of the code requires at least .NET 5 to be built. One project requires .NET Framework which is required for the migration example at the moment. You can download the latest .NET SDK at Microsoft's download page.

One project requires .NET Framework in order to be built as it's part of a scenario about migrating from .NET Framework to .NET Core. If you're on an environment that can't build .NET Framework projects, you can open streetcoder-nowin.slnf solution filter to filter it out instead of the main solution file streetcoder.sln.

I used Visual Studio 2019 whose Community Edition is free, but you should also be able to use Visual Studio Code with the C# extension if you find it more comfortable.

notes

• The different flavors of the same function may have different names in the source code while they're called the same in the repository. For example, Contains function can have variants like Contains2 and Contains3 in the source code, but it's listed as Contains in all the listings with different varieties. That's intentional to keep the whole source code compilable without any trouble. Some flavors can use a word-based suffix instead of a numeric one.
