Common Challenges & Solutions

This section addresses frequently encountered challenges in advanced development and provides practical solutions and best practices.

Handling Large Datasets

When dealing with massive amounts of data, efficient processing and memory management are crucial. Learn about:

• Streaming APIs for reading/writing large files.
• Database indexing and query optimization.
• In-memory caching strategies.

using System.IO;

public static class LargeFileHandler
{
    public static void ProcessLargeFile(string filePath)
    {
        using (var reader = new StreamReader(filePath))
        {
            string line;
            while ((line = reader.ReadLine()) != null)
            {
                // Process each line without loading the entire file into memory
                Console.WriteLine($"Processing line: {line.Substring(0, Math.Min(line.Length, 50))}...");
            }
        }
    }
}

Concurrency vs. Parallelism

Understand the nuances between concurrent and parallel execution and when to apply each for maximum efficiency.

• Thread synchronization primitives (locks, mutexes, semaphores).
• Leveraging the Task Parallel Library (TPL).
• Avoiding deadlocks and race conditions.
