Strings are one of the most common types in any application you will build. All developers should therefore take time to understand the string type. There may be more them than you first realise! In this session, together with Steve, you will explore how Strings work and how to manipulate them efficiently.

Steve will focus on the pros and cons of string immutability and help you to understand why manipulating strings can be costly for application performance. Steve will demonstrate techniques we can use to avoid heavy performance penalties and optimise string manipulation code.

Steve will go below the surface, explaining how strings, along with types like StringBuilder work internally. You will leave this session appreciating the power and complexity of using strings in your own .NET applications.
