What's New in C# 8 Interfaces (and how to use them effectively)

This meeting will be virtual. Please RSVP for meeting link.

Come join Jeremy Clark as we explore the new interface features released in C# 8.

6:30PM - INTRODUCTION: Housekeeping, open mic and other community announcements & request.

7:00PM - MAIN PRESENTATION: C# 8 brings new features to interfaces, including default implementation, access modifiers, and static members. We'll look at these new features, and see where they are useful and where they should be avoided. The world of interfaces has changed; the line between interfaces and abstract classes has blurred; and C# now has multiple inheritance (sort of). With some practical tips, "gotchas", and plenty of examples, we'll see how to use these features effectively (and safely) in our code.
