C#'s Greatest Mistakes

Track: .Net, friday 11:20 - 12:10

C# is a lovely language in many ways... but it's not perfect. Mistakes made early in a language or platform's development are often impossible to fix afterwards, so this talk isn't a set of suggestions for the C# team. Instead it's a reflection on what we might do if we had a time machine. Which features which seemed like a good idea at the time have actually caused the development community hours of frustration? Which choices have caused confusion? What could we do differently next time?

Abusing C#

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

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.
