Join us for our next HDLUG, a group for discussing the dynamic languages. Claudio Lassala will be speaking on the Exploring the Dynamic Features of C# 4 , and pizza will be provided. The meeting will be held at 6:30pm at the Microsoft office in Houston, TX: 2000 W Sam Houston Pkwy S Ste 350, Houston, TX 77042.
Abstract: C# 4 brings dynamic features to the table, providing developers the ability to address certain scenarios that can’t be easily implemented in a statically typed language. That doesn’t mean C# is now a dynamic language, or that you should make everything dynamic; it means that we have a few additions to our toolbox that come in really handy when trying to nail some special cases that come our way. In this session we will take a look at how the dynamic features in C# 4 work, and scenarios where it makes sense to use them.
