"C# Concurrency" by Nir Dobovizki is a practical guide to developing multithreaded and asynchronous applications in C#. The focus is not just on the async/await syntax, but on the fundamental principles of safe and efficient thread, task, and parallel execution management.
The author explains the architecture of concurrency in .NET with engineering precision, emphasizing the creation of resilient, scalable, and maintainable solutions. Dobovizki teaches not the "magic of parallel code" but a systematic approach where every element — from synchronization to task scheduling — is under control.

Who Is "C# Concurrency" For?
This book is ideal for:
- Developers working with high-load applications: Gain tools for optimizing code execution and thread management under heavy loads.
- Backend engineers using ASP.NET and Web API: Learn how to properly use async/await, avoid blocking threads, and ensure web application stability.
- Desktop and UI application developers on WPF/WinForms: Understand how to prevent UI freezes and correctly handle multithreaded interaction with interfaces.
- .NET system architects and tech leads: Implement safe, reproducible concurrency practices in team projects.
What Sets This Book Apart?
Unlike many C# books that stop at explaining async and await keywords, "C# Concurrency" by Nir Dobovizki is an engineering study focused on understanding code behavior under load and managing the complexity of parallel computations.
The author starts with the basics: threads, tasks, thread pools, synchronization contexts. He then covers asynchronous APIs, timers, locks, semaphores, channels, and the Task Parallel Library (TPL) architecture. Special attention is given to design errors such as race conditions, deadlocks, memory leaks, and blocking UI calls.
Another advantage of the book is the use of real-world scenarios: background data loading, reactive processing, parallel computations, and task cancellation. Each example explains why a particular approach is safe, how it impacts scalability, and how to debug complex behaviors.
The book doesn’t just teach "how to write code," but how to think like an engineer building concurrent systems. It helps you design robust architectures that won't collapse under extra load or threading issues.

FAQ for "C# Concurrency: Asynchronous and multithreaded programming"
1. Is this book suitable for beginner C# developers?
No. It is intended for developers already familiar with basic C# and .NET. It does not explain basic syntax, but dives straight into concurrency, asynchronous programming, and parallelism. It’s recommended to first learn the fundamentals of C# and async/await before reading.
2. Does the book cover only asynchronous methods, or threading as well?
Both topics are covered thoroughly. Dobovizki explains async workflows as well as Thread, ThreadPool, lock, Monitor, Semaphore, ConcurrentQueue, and other low-level synchronization mechanisms, giving a complete view of concurrency in C#.
3. Is it helpful for UI application development?
Yes. It explains UI context specifics, the importance of SynchronizationContext, why await can return execution to the UI thread, and how to avoid it. Techniques apply to WPF, WinForms, and MAUI projects.
4. Does the book provide architectural patterns?
The author doesn’t prescribe rigid templates but offers guidance on building concurrent architectures such as producer-consumer, fan-out/fan-in, cancellation token handling, and distributed synchronization — applicable to both standalone apps and microservices.
5. Are common mistakes and anti-patterns covered?
Yes. Entire chapters are dedicated to frequent pitfalls like blocking with Result, UI thread blocking, improper Task usage, ignoring CancellationToken, async void pitfalls, and bad synchronization practices — all explained with solutions.
6. Is the book updated for modern .NET versions?
Yes. The latest edition incorporates updates for .NET Core and .NET 6/7+, including async Main, ValueTask, Channel, IAsyncEnumerable, and asynchronous streams. All examples are compatible with the current C# ecosystem.
