"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. This project is unique because it provides hands-on experience in a real-world scenario, enabling you to directly manipulate memory for critical performance improvements in a trading application. In order to be successful in this project, you will need an intermediate understanding of programming concepts, Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) principles, familiarity with the .NET framework, and proficiency in using Visual Studio or another C#-compatible IDE. By the end of this project, you will have developed a robust trading platform with real-time processing, demonstrating your ability to apply unsafe code concepts effectively.
