In this advanced session, Steve creates and explores the shortest C# program, unpacking the implementation details that make .NET work. There's a lot we can learn from two characters of code!

This code and tool-heavy session begins by creating the smallest possible C# application. After building it, we dig into the output to understand how the C# compiler transforms our code into a working executable. We profile the application allocations to understand implementation details and explore how the cross-platform DLL is hosted on platforms to boot up the .NET runtime.

You'll learn some fascinating details about how .NET works under the covers.
