Report from the battlefield #6 - Auto-Property Initializers + a non-binary serialization

Home

I can bet that you've already heard about and used Auto-Property Initializers and that you love them. At least I do so ;) Here is a small example. In this case an Auto-Property Initializer was used to generate unique identifiers for instances of Entity class. Trivial, isn't it?

public class Entity
{

.NET Developer Days 2016 - Workshops

Home

In my previous post about .NET Developer Days 2016 I wrote generally about the conference and about presentations I'd like to see. This time I want to drop a few lines about pre-conference workshops (sessions). They will take place just a day before the actual conference (GoldenFloor, Millenium Plaza – Warsaw, Al. Jerozolimskie 123 a) and you could choose from:

• Dino Esposito - Modern Web Development with the ASP.NET MVC Stack
• Ted Neward - Busy .NET Developer’s Workshopon the CLR
• Adam Granicz - Functional Programming on .NET with F# – Become a Programming Jedi Now!
• Daniel Fisher - Resilience and cloud patterns TOGO: build useful stuff in JS and C#

The links above will lead you to the description of each session. However, I have a surprise for you. I contacted with experts who will conduct workshops and asked them a few questions. Here are additional information that I got. You'll not find them anywhere else.
