Excellent; I can see why this was highly rated when previously delivered.
Hue Holleran
Very fast-paced session with excellent prepared examples - required a lot of skill to deliver this session flawlessly - and Kathleen managed to do just that! Very enjoyable session and a privilege again to have such a high caliber presenter.
Mark White
Although I have a reasonable understanding of generics, the presentation reinforced that plus I picked-up a couple of new gems. Great enthusiasm from Kathleen for the subject!
Phill Demoore
Can't fault this. I disagree with VB coders being better because they can read C#. It's more the case that C# is more readable an intuitive in its syntax (most of the time). Listening the Kathleen it was clear that she understood her subject and recovered well on any problems, answering well any questions posed. Excellent!

Event Breakdown
Kathleen Dollard Refactoring with Generics
Generics open up new opportunities to increase the robustness of your code, improve its performance, and significantly reduce the total amount of code you write. After a brief introduction to generic syntax, Kathleen will show you how using generics improves the quality of your code. You’ll see how easy it is to shift your current collections to generic collections and learn how LINQ takes advantage of generic enumerable sets. You’ll learn how to write your own generic methods and classes. You’ll see how to leverage the spectrum of generic possibilities in a business object hierarchy that reduces the total lines of code by about 50%! Finally we’ll take a deep dive into nuances of generics, such as their relation to shared data, layered generics, reflection, and lambda expressions You’ll walk out of this talk understanding how to use generics to improve your own applications.
