This Guided Project "Advanced .NET with TPL & PLINQ: Conducting Performance Boost" is designed for intermediate software developers interested in incorporating parallelism into their .NET projects. In this 1-hour long project-based course, you will learn how to implement parallel processing techniques using Task Parallel Library (TPL) and optimize data queries with Parallel LINQ (PLINQ). Additionally, you will learn to evaluate the performance improvements achieved through TPL and PLINQ and troubleshoot common issues related to parallel and asynchronous programming to ensure the reliability and efficiency of the system.
