submitted by aabs(850) 4 years, 4 months ago

Using Lambda Expressions to get more bang for my buck! This Article is part of a series exploring the capabilities of .NET 3.5 and how new advances allow the development of a very powerful Design by Contract (or Contract First or Contract Driven Development) system in very few lines. DBC can help you write better code and although the examples in this post are in C#, they will work equally well in VB.NET. read more...

Does C# 3.0 Beat Dynamic Languages at their Own Game?(25hoursaday.com)

submitted by zvikara(275) 4 years, 4 months ago

For the past few years I've heard a lot of hype about dynamic programming languages like Python and Ruby. The word on the street has been that their dynamic nature makes developers more productive that those of us shackled to statically typed languages like C# and Java. A couple of weeks ago I decided to take the plunge and start learning Python after spending the past few years doing the majority of my software development in C#. I learned that it was indeed true that you could get things the same stuff done in far less lines of Python than you could in C#. Since it is a general truism in the software industry that the number of bugs per thousand lines of code is constant irrespective of programming language, the more you can get done in fewer lines of code, the less defects you will have in your software. read more...
