Screencast intro to VS 2008 & .NET 3.5
I recently gave a presentation at work introducing some of the new features of VS 2008 and .NET 3.5. No slides, just code. And no pre-prepared chunks of code that are pasted into the editor either - everything written by hand.
In this 40 minute screencast I blast through Automatic Properties, Collection Initializers (Lists & Dictionaries), Implicit Typing, Anonymous Types, Extensions Methods, "Normal" Delegates, Anonymous Delegates, a natural evolution of delegates to Lambda expressions, Linq to objects using method chaining, Linq to objects using the natural Linq syntax, and finally Linq to XML.
