July 1st 2021: Jason Bock - Using Source Generators for Fun (and Maybe Profit)

Speaker: Jason Bock

Title: Using Source Generators for Fun (and Maybe Profit)

Abstract: One of the features added in C# 9 is called "source generators", enabling a developer to create new code at compile time. This can be used for a myriad of cases, such as optimization, automating repetitive code, and dynamic API creation. In this session, I'll cover how source generators work and demonstrate a number of implementations.
