Summary

In this chapter, we looked into CLR internals with regard to compilation and memory management, the two most important abstractions that CLR offers. Thread management, synchronization, and event handling were discussed to give the developer the ability to interact with all specific tools and techniques CLR offers regarding the tricky aspects of programming.

In the next chapter, asynchronous programming techniques such as task creation, maintenance, executing, and tuning will be analyzed in depth.
