Concurrency in .NET

13 Recipes and design patterns for successful concurrent programming

This chapter covers

• Twelve code recipes that answer common problems in parallel programming

The 12 recipes presented in this chapter have broad applications. You can use the core ideas as a reference when you’re facing a similar problem and require a quick answer. The material demonstrates how the functional concurrent abstractions covered throughout this book make it possible to solve complex problems by developing sophisticated and rich functions with relatively few lines of code. I’ve kept the implementations of the recipes as simple as possible, so you’ll need to deal from time to time with cancellations and exception handling.
