I'm late blogging about this, but I'll be speaking at the C# User Group of Greater Boston tomorrow night (November 1st). The meeting starts at 6:30 at Microsoft's Waltham office. Here is the session description:
Avoiding C# Traps and Pitfalls
As any developer knows, there's always more than one way to solve a coding problem. This is certainly true when using .NET and C#, but some approaches are better than others. For example, you probably know to use the Length property to check that a string is empty or that you should use StringBuilder when concatenating many strings. In this talk, we'll go beyond those basics to cover the "gotcha's" lurking in the shadows of C# and the .NET Framework. You'll see plenty of example code showing practices to avoid and your options for avoiding them. Every developer should know about these, but unfortunately, many find out after the fact. This is a good chance to learn from other developers' pains and immediately use these tips to make your applications better.
Hope to see you there!
