This is the repository for the LinkedIn Learning course C#: Interfaces and Generics. The full course is available from LinkedIn Learning.
Are you looking for ways to level up your C# coding? In this course, programming expert Joe Marini guides you through how to use interfaces and generics in C#. Joe explains that interfaces and generics both are used to construct flexible classes. He walks you through how to define and implement an interface, how to use an interface when casting one C# class to another type, how to implement more than one interface for a C# class, and more. Joe describes how interfaces keep your code nimble, compact, and efficient, while generics are used to create code that is more maintainable and easier to read. Joe shows you how to use C# list generics to create type-save lists of objects. He also covers how to use the generic versions of the queue and stack data structures, as well as how to use the generic versions of the queue and stack data structures. Interfaces and generics make your C# projects easier to build and scale, with fewer bugs and performance issues along the way.
This repository has branches for each of the videos in the course. You can use the branch pop up menu in github to switch to a specific branch and take a look at the course at that stage, or you can add /tree/BRANCH_NAME to the URL to go to the branch you want to access.
The branches are structured to correspond to the videos in the course. The naming convention is CHAPTER#_MOVIE#. As an example, the branch named 02_03 corresponds to the second chapter and the third video in that chapter.
Some branches will have a beginning and an end state. These are marked with the letters b for "beginning" and e for "end". The b branch contains the code as it is at the beginning of the movie. The e branch contains the code as it is at the end of the movie. The main branch holds the final state of the code when in the course.
When switching from one exercise files branch to the next after making changes to the files, you may get a message like this:
error: Your local changes to the following files would be overwritten by checkout: [files]
Please commit your changes or stash them before you switch branches.
