| Featured Topic: | Refactoring with Generics - Presented By Kathleen Dollard |
| Additional Information: | Generics open up new opportunities to increase the robustness of your code, improve its performance, and significantly reduce the total amount of code you write. After a brief introduction to generic syntax, Kathleen will show you how using generics improves the quality of your code. You’ll see how easy it is to shift your current collections to generic collections and learn about new features such as robust sorts, finds, and filters across collections. You’ll learn how to write your own generic methods and classes. Finally you’ll see how to leverage the spectrum of generic possibilities in a business object hierarchy that reduces the total lines of code by about 50%! You’ll walk out of this talk understanding how to use generics to improve your own applications.
Kathleen is the founder and lead of GenDotNet. Her passion and focus is making individual programmers more productive in order to build teams that are more effective - including code generation, frameworks, and testing, and static analysis. She is also interested in teaching people how to effectively use the framework, especially tracing and generics.
The technologies she works with lead to faster development, but that’s not why she is excited about these technologies. Going faster is not helpful unless you’re also building projects better. One of the fundamentals of improving development is recognizing categories of code, isolating them, and using the right development shortcuts for each. Main categories of code include business logic that transcends any application, transitory technology patterns that can be reused across domains, and a code to chink the gaps so things work in an imperfect and ever-changing technical world.
