Synopsis
Summary
Metaprogramming in .NET is designed to help readers understand the basic concepts, advantages, and potential pitfalls of metaprogramming. It introduces core concepts in clear, easy-to-follow language and then it takes you on a deep dive into the tools and techniques you'll use to implement them in your .NET code. You'll explore plenty of real-world examples that reinforce key concepts. When you finish, you'll be able to build high-performance, metaprogramming-enabled software with confidence.
About the Technology
When you write programs that create or modify other programs, you are metaprogramming. In .NET, you can use reflection as well as newer concepts like code generation and scriptable software. The emerging Roslyn project exposes the .NET compiler as an interactive API, allowing compile-time code analysis and just-in-time refactoring.
About this Book
Metaprogramming in .NET is a practical introduction to the use of metaprogramming to improve the performance and maintainability of your code. This book avoids abstract theory and instead teaches you solid practices you'll find useful immediately. It introduces core concepts like code generation and application composition in clear, easy-to-follow language.
Written for readers comfortable with C# and the .NET framework—no prior experience with metaprogramming is required.
Purchase of the print book comes with an offer of a free PDF, ePub, and Kindle eBook from Manning. Also available is all code from the book.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. DESCRIPTION Metaprogramming is a style of software development that lets a program change and respond to the conditions present when it runs. .NET enables many Metaprogramming capabilities, including code generation systems, application composition frameworks, and scripting technologies. Metaprogramming in .NET begins by teaching the basic concepts, advantages, and potential pitfalls of metaprogramming. Then it takes a deep dive into each of the relevant tools and technologies, using plenty of real-world examples that reinforce key concepts. Armed with the knowledge they need, readers will be able to build high-performance, metaprogramming-enabled software just like the pros. AUDIENCE Readers should be comfortable with C# and the .NET framework. No prior experience with metaprogramming is required. ABOUT THE TECHNOLOGY Metaprogramming is mostly a set of language-independent skills that are all about making software simpler and reusable. Rather than depending strictly on language features to reduce code complexity or to increase reusability, metaprogramming uses a variety of libraries and coding techniques. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR008270546
