After NTK - Dev Edition
Ljubljana, Slovenia
Since a new version of .NET is being released every autumn, C# has also adopted the same cadence. So, this November C# 12 is going to be released alongside with .NET 8. In this talk, we will take a look at its new features and how they will affect the code we will be writing (and reading) in the future. Wherever it is relevant, we will refresh our memory about the features of previous language versions, on which this year's features are based. As much as possible, we will try out the new features ourselves.

Setting up a working development environment on your local computer can often take quite some time nowadays. It becomes even more of an issue when you collaborate on multiple projects at once or when the developers on the project use different operating systems. In this talk, we will learn how this process can be simplified by using the Dev Containers extension for Visual Studio Code which uses a file with a description of the development environment to recreate it in Docker. The same file can also be used to set up a development environment in the cloud using GitHub Codespaces.

GitHub Actions can be a great choice for building and deploying code from GitHub repositories. This talk should help you get started using GitHub Actions for your .NET projects. We will look at the tools available, learn to understand and modify workflow files, check the actions available in the GitHub Marketplace, and create a simple custom action ourselves.

You might still remember the first .NET MAUI announcement when the MVU (Model-View-Update) pattern was introduced as an alternative to using XAML and the MVVM (Model-View-ViewModel) pattern for application development. Since then, .NET MAUI has been released. But we haven't heard much about the MVU pattern lately. In this talk, we will first compare the two patterns. Then we will look at the current state of the Comet library for developing .NET MAUI application using the MVU pattern and try to create a simple application with it.

To refresh our memory, we will first explain the benefits of using async streams and examples of available APIs. We will continue by creating an async stream implementation ourselves and look at the potential reasons for doing so. We will conclude by comparing async streams to observables from Reactive extensions.

The `async` and `await` keywords have been a part of the C# programming language for a long time. Despite that, they still hide pitfalls that not only beginners but also more experienced developers occasionally fall into.
In this talk, I will present some of the most common mistakes we can make when writing asynchronous code and show ways to avoid them. Key topics:
- `async void` is dangerous
- avoiding deadlocks
- synchronization context

Azure Static Web Apps are a service for hosting static web applications and their serverless backend. In the talk, I will introduce them in detail and compare them to Azure App Services. In the demo, I will use them for hosting a Blazor WebAssembly app with an Azure Functions backend. Before the end, I will mention the (current) limitations and consider when this form hosting might not (yet) be the right choice.

Along with .NET 5, a new version of C# was also released. Although it's only been a year since the release of the previous version, multiple new features are being introduced. The most important ones are:
- The main focus of this release is improved support for immutable types, provided through record types, with expressions and init-only properties.
- Pattern matching is being extended with new pattern types.
- Top-level programs and target-typed new expressions can reduce the boilerplate code needed in certain scenarios.

Of all the new features in C# 8, nullable reference types have the largest impact on our code. A year after the release we'll take a closer look at the feature. After covering the basics to refresh our memory, we'll move on to the challenges that the feature can impose, including:
- Introducing nullable reference types into an existing codebase
- Support in libraries
- Advanced annotations
- Support in Entity Framework Core

Of all the new features in C# 8, nullable reference types have the strongest impact on our code. We will start the session with basics to refresh our memory almost a year after the release. Only then will we continue with the challenges which we might face when using the nullable reference types. We will cover the incremental introduction of the feature into our code, existing support in libraries, usage in combination with generic classes, and support in EF Core. We will conclude the session with an overview of Microsoft's plans for nullable reference types in the near future.

With the release of C# 8, the long-awaited safe handling of null values in reference types has finally become a part of our favorite programming language. But that's not the only important new feature in this version. There's expanded support for pattern matching, asynchronous streams, default interface methods, and more. In this session, I will explain what all these features are and show you how they can be used with some sample code.
