Wednesday, October 18, 2006 (EST) - Refactoring with Generics
speaker: Kathleen Dollard, MVP
location: YWCA Durham

Click here to Register

Generics open up new opportunities to increase the robustness of your code, improve its performance, and significantly reduce the total amount of code you write.



Generics open up new opportunities to increase the robustness of your code, improve its performance, and significantly reduce the total amount of code you write. After a brief introduction to generic syntax, this talk dives into using generics to improve the quality of your code. You'll see how easy it is to shift your current collections to generic collections and learn about new features such as robust sorts, finds, and filters across collections. You'll learn how to write your own generic methods and classes. Finally you'll see how to leverage the spectrum of generic possibilities in a business object hierarchy that reduces the total lines of code by about 50%. You'll walk out of this talk understanding how to use generics to improve your own applications.
