Presentation by Michael Hess, Microsoft MVP.

As a C# developer, it can be a challenge to keep up with all the new language features that Microsoft gives us. Old code still compiles, and old habits die hard. In this presentation we'll look at some of my very favorite new(ish) language features. These are things I use every day:

• Pattern Matching Switch Expressions (C# 8 and C# 9) - So versatile
• Target Typed New Constructors (C# 9) - Say goodbye to "var"
• Value Tuples (C# 7) - Underutilized and powerful
• String Interpolation (C# 6) - Not really new, but are you using it?
• Collection Expressions with Spread (C# 12) - Even easier initialization
• Null Conditional Assignment (C# 14) - At last!

Looking forward to seeing you there!
