Trends
Software development is a team sport
Agile & DevOps change the flow
Individual productivity still matters
 public async

<//> Task<int>
{int x = await task;

Development flows left to right and repeats

We can do better
Tighten the cycle
Catch issues before check-in
Identify issues in production
 public async

<//> Task<int>
{int x = await task;

Continuous integration + real-time experiences = shift left

 public async

<//> Task<int>
{int x = await task;
 public async

<//> Task<int>
{int x = await task;

Edit and continue – pulled debugging into the edit/build cycle

 public async

<//> Task<int>
{int x = await task;
 public async

<//> Task<int>
{int x = await task;

Live unit testing – pulls quality further into the inner loop
 public async

<//> Task<int>
{int x = await task;
 public async

<//> Task<int>
{int x = await task;

Live code analysis – immediate feedback loop

docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/articles/csharp/csharp-7
private static (int Max, int Min) Range(IEnumerable<int> numbers)
{
int min = int.MaxValue;
int max = int.MinValue;
foreach(var n in numbers)
{
min = (n < min) ? n : min;
max = (n > max) ? n : max;
}
return (max, min);
}

var range = Range(numbers);

Or
(int min, int max) = Range(numbers);
public static int DiceSum4(IEnumerable<object> values)
{
var sum = 0;
foreach (var item in values)
{
switch (item)
{
case 0: break;

case int val: sum += val; break;

case IEnumerable<object> subList when subList.Any():

sum += DiceSum4(subList);
break;

case IEnumerable<object> subList:

break;

case null:
break;

default:
throw new InvalidOperationException("unknown item type");
}
}
return sum;
