📖 Topics Covered

1. Basic Concepts

Polymorphism & Inheritance

// Runtime polymorphism
Vehicle[] vehicles = [new Car(), new Bike()];
foreach (var vehicle in vehicles)
    vehicle.Drive(); // Calls overridden methods

Upcasting & Downcasting

Car car = new Car();
Vehicle vehicle = car;              // Upcasting (implicit)
Car carAgain = (Car)vehicle;        // Downcasting (explicit)
Car? safeCast = vehicle as Car;     // Safe downcasting

// Modern pattern matching
if (vehicle is Car myCar)
{
    myCar.Accelerate();
}

Boxing & Unboxing

// Boxing - heap allocation
int value = 42;
object boxed = value;

// Unboxing - type check + copy
int unboxed = (int)boxed;

// Avoid boxing with generics
List<int> numbers = new(); // No boxing
ArrayList oldStyle = new(); // Boxing on Add()

2. Advanced C# 12 Features

Primary Constructors

// Traditional
public class VehicleOld
{
    private readonly string _brand;
    public VehicleOld(string brand) => _brand = brand;
}

// Modern C# 12
public class VehicleNew(string brand)
{
    public void Display() => Console.WriteLine(brand);
}

Collection Expressions

// Traditional
var list = new List<int> { 1, 2, 3 };
var combined = new List<int>(list);
combined.AddRange(new[] { 4, 5, 6 });

// Modern C# 12
int[] numbers = [1, 2, 3];
int[] combined = [.. numbers, 4, 5, 6];

Advanced Pattern Matching

string Classify(Shape shape) => shape switch
{
    Circle { Radius: > 10 } => "Large Circle",
    Rectangle { Width: var w, Height: var h } when w == h => "Square",
    Triangle => "Triangle",
    _ => "Unknown"
};

// List patterns
string Analyze(int[] nums) => nums switch
{
    [] => "Empty",
    [var single] => $"One: {single}",
    [var first, .., var last] => $"Many: {first}...{last}"
};

3. High-Performance Computing

Span - Zero-Allocation Slicing

// Traditional (allocates substring)
string text = "Hello, World!";
string hello = text.Substring(0, 5); // Heap allocation

// Modern (zero allocation)
ReadOnlySpan<char> span = text.AsSpan();
ReadOnlySpan<char> hello = span[..5]; // Stack only!

Performance: 5-10x faster, 0 allocations

Parallel Processing

// Sequential
var sum = Enumerable.Range(0, 1_000_000).Sum();

// Parallel (4-8x speedup on multi-core CPUs)
var parallelSum = Enumerable.Range(0, 1_000_000)
    .AsParallel()
    .Sum();

Performance: 4-8x speedup on 8-core CPU

ArrayPool - Memory Pooling

var pool = ArrayPool<int>.Shared;
var buffer = pool.Rent(1024);
try
{
    // Use buffer - no allocation!
    ProcessData(buffer);
}
finally
{
    pool.Return(buffer); // Return to pool
}

Performance: 90% reduction in allocations

4. Design Patterns (NEW! 🆕)

Factory Pattern

// Simple Factory
var car = VehicleFactory.CreateVehicle(VehicleType.Car, "Tesla Model 3");

// Generic Factory
var bike = GenericVehicleFactory.CreateVehicle<Motorcycle>("Harley");

// Factory Method
VehicleCreator creator = new CarCreator("Audi A4");
creator.ProcessVehicle();

Builder Pattern

var gamingPC = new ComputerBuilder()
    .WithCPU("Intel Core i9-13900K")
    .WithMotherboard("ASUS ROG Maximus")
    .WithRAM(32)
    .WithGPU("NVIDIA RTX 4090")
    .WithStorage(2000, ssd: true)
    .WithCooling("Liquid Cooling")
    .WithPowerSupply(1000)
    .Build();

Dependency Injection

// Configure services
services.AddSingleton<IDataRepository, InMemoryDataRepository>();
services.AddTransient<IDataProcessor, DataProcessor>();
services.AddScoped<INotificationService, ConsoleNotificationService>();

// Resolve and use
var app = serviceProvider.GetRequiredService<ApplicationService>();
await app.RunAsync();

5. Structured Logging (NEW! 🆕)

// Configure Serilog
var logger = new LoggerConfiguration()
    .MinimumLevel.Debug()
    .Enrich.WithThreadId()
    .Enrich.WithMachineName()
    .WriteTo.Console()
    .WriteTo.File("logs/app-.log",
        rollingInterval: RollingInterval.Day,
        retainedFileCountLimit: 30)
    .CreateLogger();

// Use structured logging
logger.Information("Processing {ItemCount} items", data.Length);
logger.Warning("High memory usage: {MemoryMB}MB", memoryUsage);
logger.Error(ex, "Failed to process {Operation}", operationName);

Features:

✅ Console & file sinks
✅ Daily log rotation
✅ 30-day retention
✅ Thread ID & machine enrichment
✅ Structured data capture

🏗️ Design Patterns

Factory Pattern

Simple Factory - Basic object creation
Generic Factory - Type-safe with generics
Factory Method - Abstract creator pattern

Builder Pattern

Traditional Builder - Fluent API with validation
Modern Builder - Using C# records and init-only properties

Other Patterns

Repository Pattern - Data access abstraction
Dependency Injection - IoC container
Service Layer - Business logic separation

💡 Usage Examples

Example 1: High-Performance String Parsing

// Traditional (many allocations)
string csv = "1,2,3,4,5";
var parts = csv.Split(',');
var numbers = parts.Select(int.Parse).ToArray();

// Modern (zero allocations)
ReadOnlySpan<char> span = csv.AsSpan();
List<int> numbers = new();
var tokenizer = new SpanTokenizer(span, ',');
while (tokenizer.MoveNext(out var token))
{
    numbers.Add(int.Parse(token));
}

Example 2: Parallel Matrix Multiplication

double[,] MatrixMultiply(double[,] a, double[,] b)
{
    var result = new double[a.GetLength(0), b.GetLength(1)];

    Parallel.For(0, a.GetLength(0), i =>
    {
        for (int j = 0; j < b.GetLength(1); j++)
        {
            double sum = 0;
            for (int k = 0; k < a.GetLength(1); k++)
                sum += a[i, k] * b[k, j];
            result[i, j] = sum;
        }
    });

    return result;
}

Example 3: Using the Builder Pattern

// Configure a complex server
var server = ServerConfig.Builder
    .WithServerName("WebAPI-Production")
    .WithPort(8080)
    .WithHost("api.example.com")
    .WithSSL()
    .WithMaxConnections(500)
    .WithTimeout(60)
    .WithLogging("/var/log/api.log")
    .Build();

Example 4: Dependency Injection

// Configure services
var services = new ServiceCollection();
services.AddLogging(builder => builder.AddConsole());
services.AddSingleton<IDataRepository, InMemoryDataRepository>();
services.AddTransient<IDataProcessor, DataProcessor>();

// Build and use
var serviceProvider = services.BuildServiceProvider();
var app = serviceProvider.GetRequiredService<ApplicationService>();
await app.RunAsync();
