What's a static abstract interface method in C#?

What's a static abstract interface method in C#?

What are static abstract members (new in C# 11), what can we do with them, and how are they related to Math Generics? (part 1 of 3)

Using Tuples and deconstruction to return multiple values in C#

Using Tuples and deconstruction to return multiple values in C#

A big challenge with any language is trying to group and organize things sensibly, and returning multiple values is no exception. Let's check out Tuples and deconstruction, and see how they can help us out.

Named arguments in C# - pass what you want and forget the rest

Named arguments in C# - pass what you want and forget the rest

Named arguments in C#.. they've been around a long time, but does anyone use them? Let's check out another feature that helps tame wild code.

Local functions in C# (aka nested methods)

Local functions in C# (aka nested methods)

C# 7 introduced a new tool for the belt - local functions. Let's take a look at what they are, how to use them, and why we might not want to.

Checking for null in C#, using the null-conditional and null-coalescing operators

Checking for null in C#, using the null-conditional and null-coalescing operators

Checking for nulls in C# is tedious, but C# 6 gave us the null-conditional and null-coalescing operators. Let's see how they've improved things.

Using string interpolation to craft readable strings in C#

Using string interpolation to craft readable strings in C#

The longer I write software, the more I come to appreciate clear code. String interpolation in C# is just one more way to help us do that.

Using nameof to avoid magic strings
