C# 12 is here, introducing primary constructors and a few more new features to the language. But this latest version also continues the history of improvements and features added to the C# language and the .NET platform. Do you know that history? Do you know how C# became what it is today?
Two words: Functional programming. That thought underpins most of the evolution during the last twenty years. You don't believe me when I say that functional programming drives C# forward these days? Hear this, then! Hear the list of features added to C# since its version 2.
Generics (including covariance and contravariance, generic constraints, and covariant return types), extension methods and pattern matching, lambda expressions, expression-bodied methods, lambda types, records (and record structs), init-only setters and required properties, nullable references, null-conditional expressions, spans, ranges, expression trees, async streams, async/await.
How will you use these concepts if not in a functional design? But that leaves a screaming question unanswered: Why?
Why should we value functional design as equal to traditional object-oriented design? The reason is that the programming world has been changing through this entire evolutionary process of the C# programming language. We use C# to solve entirely different problems than at the beginning of .NET.
Watch this video and learn the primary motivation behind the latest features of C# and the principal methods of utilizing them in a modern design.

👨 About Me 👨
Hi, I’m Zoran, I have more than 20 years of experience as a software developer, architect, team lead, and more. I have been programming in C# since its inception in the early 2000s. Since 2017 I have started publishing professional video courses at Pluralsight and Udemy and by this point, there are over 100 hours of the highest-quality videos you can watch on those platforms. On my YouTube channel, you can find shorter video forms focused on clarifying practical issues in coding, design, and architecture of .NET applications.❤️
