Much Ado about Nothing: A C# play in two acts. Act 2

on YouTube ↗01h 05m

" summary

Walks through building a survey simulator to show how C# 8 nullable reference types changes APIs, compiler flow analysis, and migration choices: enabling nullable context in project files, using question-mark annotations for fields that can be missing, checking for null before dereference, and using the null-forgiving operator when interop with AutoMapper or unannotated NuGet packages forces a temporary exception. Demonstrates running the app, seeing compiler warnings, and running it with no NREs while outlining sidecar annotations for older libraries.
