Wait, What? C# Async-Await Explained
I’ve probably written a thousand async-await functions, and you probably have, too. But I have a confession to make: it wasn’t until quite recently that I understood what async-await actually does and what purpose it really serves. In this presentation, I want to take you through my own discovery process and perhaps give you some insight into this very common, but often misunderstood, C# language feature. Along the way, we’ll explore how async-await relates to other concurrent programming concepts in C# such as Tasks, Threads and Parallel-For.
Get on the Bus! - The Azure Service Bus
Azure Service Bus is Microsoft’s cloud offering for developing queue and message-based applications. We’ll explore core Azure Service Bus techniques and concepts including:
• Sending and Receiving messages
• Using Peek-Locks and other receive modes
• Abandoning and Dead Lettering Messages
• Using Topics and Subscriptions
• Processing multiple Messages and Scaling
We’ll also spend some time talking about the purpose of message-based architectures and how these technologies can be used to build truly decoupled and reliable microservices.
These are a few of my Favorite New(ish) C# Language Features
As a C# developer, it can be a challenge to keep up with all the new language features that Microsoft gives us. Old code still compiles, and old habits die hard. In this presentation we'll look at some of my very favorite new(ish) language features. These are things I use every day:
• Pattern Matching Switch Expressions (C# 8 and C# 9) - So versatile
• Target Typed New Constructors (C# 9) - Say goodbye to "var"
• Value Tuples (C# 7) - Underutilized and powerful
• String Interpolation (C# 6) - Not really new, but are you using it?
• Collection Expressions with Spread (C# 12) - Even easier initialization
• Null Conditional Assignment (C# 14) - At last!
