A brief introduction to the four key modern C# features that will be covered: records, pattern matching, switch expressions, and DateOnly/TimeOnly.
Records provide a simple, one-line syntax for creating immutable reference or value types, preventing accidental data modification.
Pattern matching allows for more expressive and readable conditional checks using constant, relational, type, and list patterns.
Switch expressions offer a more compact syntax for switch logic, reducing boilerplate code and improving readability.
The DateOnly and TimeOnly types simplify code by allowing you to work with date or time values independently, unlike the traditional DateTime type.
Consider factors like project age, budget, and effort when deciding whether to implement modern features in new or existing codebases.
Follow Microsoft documentation, community creators like Nick Chapsas, and experiment with preview builds to keep up with annual C# releases.
A discussion on why records are stricter about immutability than classes with init-only setters and the state of database support for DateOnly.
