This book looks at C#'s type system, the foundation upon which all C# programs are built. Steve Love shows how to define and implement value types effectively, and write more performant and robust code. Real-world code examples and test cases throughout are designed to improve your programming with C# and show how best to implement the principles you’re learning.
