Get up to speed now in C# 7.x with thorough walkthroughs
Demonstrate each new feature so you can see how it can be used, and how you could put it to work for you
Best Practices for tuples, switch pattern matching and reference return values just look plain weird until you know how to use them

Description

C# is a complex language, and it can be difficult to use it when you first start out. There are so many rules and standards that you're bound to make mistakes, but avoiding these common mistakes will make your programs much more efficient. With this course, you'll learn to implement practical and proven techniques to improve particular aspects of C# 7.x development. Each section covers tips and techniques with explicit instructions to carry out different C# 7.x tasks in a practical manner. The techniques are demonstrated using small practical examples. You will boost your skills with information on enhancing your coding style and performance, and learn about C# 7.x processes and code quality. This course focuses on discovering new possibilities with C# 7.x, that can enhance your current skill set. By the end of this course, you will have learned some exciting tips, best practices, and techniques for your C# 7.x coding. You will be able to build your own desktop applications in C# 7.x much faster and with ease.
