Topic - C# 3.0 (.NET 3.5)
In C# 2.0, we received many features already present in other object oriented programming languages. C# 3.0 took a radical departure, presenting us with more a revolution rather than an evolution. Many of the language features have not been seen in an object oriented programming language before. We will take a tour of the new language features in C# 3.0 including extension methods, lambda expressions, type inference, anonymous types, and LINQ. These features will be demonstrated, and we will discuss best practices for using them.
