If you're a C# developer, I'm willing to bet that you've experienced the dreaded NullReferenceException seemingly countless times! In this talk we'll discuss how a new C# language feature is attempting to help mitigate this risk. C# 8 offers "nullable reference types" among various other improvements to the language. If you're like me you're probably thinking "what in the world does that mean?"! Allow me to demonstrate to you what C# 8 is all about and how you can take advantage of these new features. Expect to walk away from this talk with the knowledge of not only the benefits but also the shortcomings of these new C# language features.
