The mission of our user group is to provide insight into Microsoft .NET technologies through our regular monthly meetings. Meetings and membership to the group are free to everyone!

Wednesday, March 10th, 2010 at 6:00 PM New Horizons, East Syracuse

Rik Bardrof will present Generics & Functional Programming Generics in .Net allow developers to define type-safe classes and data structures that will work with a broad range of types. Building generic objects results in significant performance boost and higher quality code through the reuse of processing algorithms without needing type-specific code. Functional programming in .Net also provides the potential for code reuse, reduced bugs, and increase robustness. In this session we will combine the two technologies to demonstrate how we as developers can expand our solution engineering tool set.   Rik Bardrof is a senior software developer for Xclaim Software, located in Central New York. He has a widely varied background in computer science with experience ranging from systems maintenance through application development (lot’s of stuff in between). Currently he’s practicing agile development in a .Net shop which focuses heavily on Domain Driven Design, Test Driven Design, and integration of Open Source tools. We have SWAG!
