Today, C# 6 helps you write clean concise code. Tomorrow, C# 7 will be the first version of C# developed entirely in the open. See how C# 6 auto-property initializers and getter only auto-properties make code better by offering true immutability. See static members and exception filters give you more control index initializers and expression bodied members simplify your code. Watch await in catch/finally, null-conditional operators, the nameOf operator and string interpolation make code more robust. Then the talk turns to the future and C# 7 where you’ll see which features are in the latest cut of the monthly design meetings.

Kathleen Dollard wants to teach you to code better. She wants to teach you more about the tools you use every day and the tools, and maybe even languages, you aren’t yet using. Coding is her passion and debugging is her challenge - you’ll be happier if you do both better. Kathleen has written dozens of articles, spoken at conferences and user groups around the world, and pushes Microsoft to respond to your real world needs as a long time MVP. She’s the Director of Engineering for Real and you can check out her video courses at http://www.pluralsight.com and www.wintellectnow.com.
