Unsafe Code in .NET

Memory Management and Optimization

Bogdan Fylypiv

"Unsafe Code in .NET: Memory Management and Optimization"" is ideal for intermediate .NET developers looking to optimize performance using unsafe code. In this 1-hour project-based course, you will learn how to implement performance optimization techniques, develop practical skills in utilizing unsafe code concepts, and understand best practices for safe usage. To achieve this, we will work through tasks such as setting up a .NET project with unsafe code, managing an order book using pointer types, implementing fixed and moveable variables for price notifications, and processing trading orders efficiently.
