November 20th – New Language Features in C# 3.0

By hubcity On October 20, 2008 ·

Are you tired of writing foreach loops or loops in general? Did you know with the launch of Visual Studio 2008 and the .Net 3.5 framework new language features exist in C# 3.0 to help you write your code differently? One of the many enhancements in this release were new language features to one of the core .Net languages, C#. In this session we’ll take an in depth look at the various features of C# 3.0. We will explore the old way developers wrote code (using foreach loops for example) in C# and then transpose the code to take advantage of new language features like Lambda Expressions, Extension Methods, Anonymous Types, LINQ and more.
The second meeting for Hub City NUG will be held on November 20th on the campus of the University of Southern Mississippi at College Hall Room 100 starting at 7:00 PM with refreshments starting at 6:30 PM.
