DESCRIPTION:Kathleen Dollard\; author of Code Genertation in Microsoft .NE
 T (ISBN 978-1590591376) and founder and lead of GenDotNet. Her passion and
  focus is making individual programmers more productive in order to build 
 teams that are more effective - including code generation\, frameworks\, a
 nd testing\, and static analysis. Kathleen also teaches people how to effe
 ctively use the framework\, espicially tracing and generics. \n\nRefactori
 ng with Generics\;	\nGenerics open up new opportunities to increase the ro
 bustness of your code\, improve its performance\, and significantly reduce
  the total amount of code you write. After a brief introduction to generic
  syntax\, Kathleen will show you how using generics improves the quality o
 f your code. You’ll see how easy it is to shift your current collections
  to generic collections and learn how LINQ takes advantage of generic enum
 erable sets. You’ll learn how to write your own generic methods and clas
 ses. 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%! Finally we’ll take a deep dive into nuances of generics\, such as 
 their relation to shared data\, layered generics\, reflection\, and lambda
  expressions You’ll walk out of this talk understanding how to use gener
 ics to improve your own applications.\nhttp://www.nxtgenug.net/ViewEvent.a
