Session: Abusing C#

Thursday, 15:35 - 16:25
Track: .Net

While it's generally lovely, C# has its quirks and oddities like every other language. In some cases these can cause subtle bugs, and at other times they can be used to achieve neat - if somewhat bizarre - tricks. In this session, Jon will present some of his favourite ways of abusing the C# language.

Prerequisites

Mid-level experience of C#, ideally up to C# 4 (if lambda expressions are a complete mystery, you won't get much out of it)

Expectations

Subtle traps and how to avoid themThe fine dividing line between brilliance and insanityThe sound of a compiler screaming as you force it to obey the language specification against all common sense
