Bruce Kyle of Microsoft and Stuart Celarier of CheckFree explore the new languages features in C#. It's a whirlwind tour of the important language features since C# 1. Stuart describes the feature and why it is useful. But doesn't get into best practices nor suggested usages. Just the facts about the feature.
Whirlwinds are bite-sized webcasts, each is shorter than 15 minutes. You can start anywhere in the series to learn about the parts you're most interested in.
In Part 1 about generics, Stuart describes:
- What generics are.
- How generics compare with collections.
- How the compiler treats generics.
- He also describes how generics increase performance and save memory.
This feature is part of C# 2 in .NET 2.0.
Duration: 7:00

Great Video! I finally understand the concept of Generics. I am trying to learn C# and I was trying to understand what those template-looking brackets meant!
Again, thanks! I will watch all the Whirlwind videos.
