C#7 and Visual Studio 2017

on YouTube ↗59m

" summary

C# 7 adds concrete, usable features: pattern matching replaces many cast+null checks and powers cleaner switch cases; value tuples and deconstruction replace awkward out-parameter contortions so methods return named, value-type tuples; out variables, binary literals and underscores improve readability; expression-bodied constructors/setters and local functions shrink boilerplate. Demo uses a small university app (messages per Person/Student/Instructor) built and run in Visual Studio 2017 RC; IDE refactorings (move/rename files, intellisense filters, structure adornments) work and speed the workflow.
