	C# 3.0 Deep Dish with a slice of C# 4.0
	Tuesday, August 25, 2009 at 7:00 PM
	This presentation will focus on new C# 3.0 language features with a nod to features coming in C# 4.0. These features will be shown outside the context of LINQ (i.e., pure C#). This is because it is crucial to understand these language enhancements as a foundation before diving into LINQ. This demo-heavy presentation will deep dive into various features by examining the IL in order to understand what is really happening “behind the scenes.” It will cover Local Variable Initialization, Object Initializers, Collection Initializers, Anonymous Types, Auto-Implemented Properties, Extension Methods, Lambdas, Query Expressions, Partial Methods, and Implicitly-Typed Arrays. We will also preview the new features of C# 4.0 including dynamics, named and optional parameters, and variance. Steve Michelotti, MSCD, MCPD, MCT is a consultant for Applied Information Sciences.
