Announcing .NET 7 Preview 1

.NET 7 builds on the foundation established by .NET 6, which includes a unified set of base libraries, runtime, and SDK, a simplified development experience, and higher developer productivity.

My 20 Years with .NET

It’s .NET’s 20th birthday: 20 years since Microsoft released v1.0 of their managed runtime, a Base Class Library, a couple of application frameworks, and the C# programming language. So I thought I’d do a retrospective of my 20 years working with .NET, because I’m extraordinarily vain and I assume people want to read stuff like this.

Unit testing Async WPF ICommand

The affair of the C# bang bang - !! - operator

A programming language is like any other language. It must evolve over time to reflect the ways that it is used. One of the things I love about C# is how it has grown over the years. One of the latest changes is the addition of a !! operator (otherwise known as the “bang bang” operator). This is causing a bit of debate, which is great because changes to a programming language should always be made on the basis of a proper discussion. But you might be wondering what all the debate is about. So here’s a quick explanation of what is going on.
