LINQ represents a paradigm shift for developers used to an imperative/object oriented programming style, because LINQ draws on functional programming principles. Thinking in LINQ addresses the differences between these two by providing a set of succinct recipes arranged in several groups, including: Basic and extended LINQ operatorsText processing Loop refactoring Monitoring code health Reactive Extensions (Rx.NET)Building domain-specific languagesUsing the familiar "recipes" approach, Thinking in LINQ shows you how to approach building LINQ-based solutions, how such solutions are different from what you already know, and why they’re better. The recipes cover a wide range of real-world problems, from using LINQ to replace existing loops, to writing your own Swype-like keyboard entry routines, to finding duplicate files on your hard drive. The goal of these recipes is to get you "thinking in LINQ," so you can use the techniques in your own code to write more efficient and concise data-intensive applications.

Learn how to build an interactive source code analytics system using Roslyn and JavaScript. This concise 150 page book will help you create and use practical code analysis tools utilizing the new features of Microsoft’s Roslyn compiler to understand the health of your code and identify parts of the code for refactoring. Source code is one of the biggest assets of a software company. However if not maintained well, it can become a big liability. As source code becomes larger. more complex and accessed via the cloud, maintaining code quality becomes even more challenging. The author provides straightforward tools and advice on how to manage code quality in this new environment. Roslyn exposes a set of APIs which allow developers to parse their C# and VB.NET code and drastically lower the barrier to entry for Meta programming in .NET. Roslyn has a dedicated set of APIs for creating custom refactoring for integrating with Visual Studio. This title will show readers how to use Roslyn along with industry standard JavaScript visualization APIs like HighCharts, D3.js etc to create a scalable and highly responsive source code analytics system.

What You Will Learn • Use F# to find patterns through raw data • Build a set of classification systems using Accord.NET, Weka, and F# • Run machine learning jobs on the Cloud with MBrace • Perform mathematical operations on matrices and vectors using Math.NET • Use a recommender system for your own problem domain • Identify tourist spots across the globe using inputs from the user with decision tree algorithms In Detail The F# functional programming language enables developers to write simple code to solve complex problems. With F#, developers create consistent and predictable programs that are easier to test and reuse, simpler to parallelize, and are less prone to bugs. If you want to learn how to use F# to build machine learning systems, then this is the book you want. Starting with an introduction to the several categories on machine learning, you will quickly learn to implement time-tested, supervised learning algorithms. You will gradually move on to solving problems on predicting housing pricing using Regression Analysis. You will then learn to use Accord.NET to implement SVM techniques and clustering. You will also learn to build a recommender system for your e-commerce site from scratch. Finally, you will dive into advanced topics such as implementing neural network algorithms while performing sentiment analysis on your data. Style and approach This book is a fast-paced tutorial guide that uses hands-on examples to explain real-world applications of machine learning. Using practical examples, the book will explore several machine learning techniques and also describe how you can use F# to build machine learning systems.

This is a concise, practical guide that will help you learn Generics in .NET, with lots of real world and fun-to-build examples and clear explanations. It is packed with screenshots to aid your understanding of the process. This book is aimed at beginners in Generics. It assumes some working knowledge of C# , but it isn't mandatory. The following would get the most use out of the book: Newbie C# developers struggling with Generics. Experienced C++ and Java Programmers who are migrating to C# and looking for an alternative to other generic frameworks like STL and JCF would find this book handy. Managers who want to know what Generics is and how to put it to good use. Architects will find the benchmarking extremely useful, because it's the first of its kind across a framework of several collections.

"The Crossroads is a story of Aparajita Basu, a girl from a humble household of Kolkata, who tears away from her family to settle her roots in America, with her childhood friend, Aniruddha.

This book highlights the enormous potential of F#—in comparison to other programming languages—to be used in scientific computing. It presents solutions of diverse real-life problems by using the combination of applied mathematics and F#. The book begins by introducing different generic collections offered by F# and goes on to present their usages in various areas of applied mathematics such as vectors and matrices, descriptive statistics, set theory, probability and calculus. Empowering users to tackle complex computing problems by using succinct yet robust code, F# is very well positioned to be used for applied mathematics; making this book all the more important for interested readers in this area. The book uses Plotly.NET to create interactive, publication-quality charts and visualizes vector fields, Jacobians, matrices as heatmaps, and probability distributions and KDEs, ordinary differential equations solutions and phase plots. It uses AngouriMath for symbolic differentiation, simplification, and algebra. It also shows how to blend symbolic math with numerical methods like Trapezoidal and Simpson’s rule, Runge–Kutta methods and Gaussian quadrature. The book includes several real-life case studies as examples such as soccer player analytics, housing price analysis, bungee jumper physics simulation, predator–prey ecosystem model and credit score evaluation.
