It allows developers to keep up with frequent code changes in a project, ensures there are no code conflicts between the developers, and reverts to an older version of code when required. Git for Programmers comprehensively equips you with actionable insights on advanced Git concepts in an engaging and straightforward way. This book will help you gain expertise on Git with many practical use cases as you progress through the chapters. The book begins with a quick history of Git and instructions on how to get it and install it, after which you'll dive into the creation and cloning of your repository. As you progress through the book, you'll explore Git places, branching, and GUIs. Once you understand the fundamentals, you'll learn how to handle merge conflicts, rebase, amend, interactive rebase, and use the log. You'll also explore important Git commands for managing your repository. Finally, the book concludes with coverage of bisect, blame, and several other problem handling techniques. By the end of this book, you'll be able to use Git with confidence; saving, sharing, and managing files as well as undoing mistakes and rewriting history. What You Will Learn: Create and clone repositoriesUnderstand the difference between local and remote repositoriesUse, manage, and merge branches back into the main branchUtilize tools to manage merge conflictsManage commits on your local machine through interactive rebasingUse the log to gain control over all the data in your repositoryUse bisect, blame, and other tools to undo Git mistakes Who this book is for: If you have basic understanding of Git and want to strengthen your command over advanced techniques and navigate different functions, this book is for you.

An accessible guide for beginner-to-intermediate programmers to concepts, real-world applications, and latest features of C# 11 and .NET 7, with hands-on exercises using Visual Studio 2022 and Visual Studio Code. Purchase of the print or Kindle book includes a free eBook in PDF format. Key Features: Explore the newest additions to C# 11, the .NET 7 class libraries, and Entity Framework Core 7Create professional websites and services with ASP.NET Core 7 and BlazorBuild your confidence with step-by-step code examples and tips for best practices Book Description: Extensively revised to accommodate the latest features that come with C# 11 and .NET 7, this latest edition of our guide will get you coding in C# with confidence. You'll learn object-oriented programming, writing, testing, and debugging functions, implementing interfaces, and inheriting classes. Next, you'll take on .NET APIs for performing tasks like managing and querying data, working with the filesystem, and serialization. As you progress, you'll also explore examples of cross-platform projects you can build and deploy, such as websites and services using ASP.NET Core. Instead of distracting you with unnecessary graphical user interface code, the first eleven chapters will teach you about C# language constructs and many of the .NET libraries through simple console applications. In later chapters, having mastered the basics, you'll then build websites, web services, and browser apps using ASP.NET Core, the Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern, and Blazor. C# 11 and .NET 7 - Modern Cross-Platform Development Fundamentals will give you a solid foundation to start building apps and services with confidence. By the end of this book, you'll be able to create rich web experiences and have a solid grasp on object-oriented programming that you can build upon. What You Will Learn: Build rich web experiences using Blazor, Razor Pages, the Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern, and other features of ASP.NET CoreBuild your own types with object-oriented programmingWrite, test, and debug functionsQuery and manipulate data using LINQIntegrate and update databases in your apps using Entity Framework Core modelsBuild and consume powerful services using the latest technologies, including Web API and Minimal API Who this book is for: This book is primarily for beginners, but intermediate-level C# and .NET programmers who have worked with C# in the past and want to catch up with the changes made in the past few years will also find plenty of useful information in it. Prior exposure to C# or .NET is not a prerequisite, but you should have a general understanding of programming before you jump in. If you already have some C# and .NET skills and want to focus on developing apps, we recommend that you pick up Mark's other .NET book, Apps and Services with .NET 7, instead.
