Join us on February 3 with David McCarter & Jared Parsons for the next episode of Rockin' The Code World with dotNetDave - a weekly show to learn & live Q&A focused on .NET and other programming technologies.
AGENDA
- Introduction
- The ins and outs of shipping the C# compiler. It's a product with millions of customers that has both strict compat requirements yet is constantly evolving to include new language features and support .NET tooling requirements. This is compounded by the reality that the C# compiler is a library and it is the engine for C# analysis in Visual Studio, VS Code, and a number of other products. The process by which we test, develop language features, preview with customers, and keep the train moving is daunting at times.
- What's been going on in C# for .NET 8 and what are we looking forward to in .NET 9.
- C# language design process. How we get from ideas to designs and implementations. Also how the process has evolved now that we're on GitHub and do our design process mostly in the open.
- Wrap up
GUEST SPEAKER
Jared Parsons is the C# compiler lead. He's been working at Microsoft for 20 years now, pretty much all of that either on the .NET team or working on .NET Tooling. Besides compilers, he's got a strong passion for infrastructure and legacy code bases.
