Answering Questions: The future of Effective C#
What comes next?One of the comments on an earlier entry (http://www.srtsolutions.com/blogs/billwagner/2005/06/21/id93158.aspx) asks if I'm going to write an updated version of Effective C# for version 2.0.
I'm not certain, for two reasons. First of all, my goal with the content in Effective C# was to ensure that all my recommendations continue to be valid with version 2.0. By and large, I think that's true. (Some of the boxing and unboxing advice changes with generics, and the garbage collector got some performance improvements.)
However, there are a lot of new techniques that developers can make use of. I intend on writing about it. I'll post announcements as these activities become public. However, I am working on an outline to cover best practices for C# 2.0, and beyond.
