Earlier this week, I travelled to Groningen, NL to participate in DevNetNoord. Little did I know I was the only English speaker, but it did get me a chance to practice my four sentences of Dutch that I’ve learned.

I did a talk that is close to my heart:

Nullable Reference Types: It’s Actually About Non-Nullable Reference Types

In this talk, I show how Nullable Reference Types work and why I think it’s important for many projects to switch over to them. This includes:

  • Consistency with value types
  • Makes your intention explicit
  • Less boilerplate code for nulls
  • Can opt into it for parts of a codebase

You can see my code and slides here if you missed it:

Also, I did a Coding Short that explores some of the same ideas:

Nullable Reference Types: Or, Why Do I Need to Use the ? So Much!
