What's New in .NET

Any idea what a ref struct is? Did you know input switch { string { Length: >= 5 } s => s[..5] } is perfectly valid C# these days? The language has changed a lot, but it isn't all scary!

C# and .NET have gone through a lot of changes in recent years and it's easy to miss some recent developments, particularly for those of us still working in .NET Framework codebases. In this class we'll go over some of the big ones (such as records) as well as some lesser-known features you should probably start using. And a few you maybe shouldn't, just for fun.
