Tod1d's Thought Process

Yesterday evening I attended my first Arizona .NET User Group meeting. They offer several types of meetings every month. They include topics on ASP.NET, .NET Internals, SQL Server, and Smart Client. The meeting I attended yesterday was an .NET Internals session on "What's New in C# 2.0". Overall, I was very pleased with the presentation conducted by Joe Mayo. Joe is the author of C# Unleashed, and C# Builder Kick Start. He is also an instructor and owner of Mayo Software Training.

He went over the following:

1. Generics
2. Iterators
3. Anonymous Methods
4. Partial Types (i.e. partial classes)
5. Nullable Types
6. Misc
a. Static classes only need to be declared with the 'static' keyword.
b. Namespace Alias Qualifiers.
c. External Alias
d. Coalesce Operator (??)

I will try and make time to post in detail some of the new things I have learned. Stay tuned.
