Anders Hejlsberg in Copenhagen (IT University)

I just learned from my former professor (Peter Sestoft) that Anders Hejlsberg will host a guest lecture at ITU, Copenhagen on November 10th at 14:00 hours.

As you probably already know, Anders is the man behind C# and this lecture will contain a walkthrough of the new language features of C# 3.0 as well as his reasons for including these language features in this future release of C#.

C# 3.0 will include really cool features like:
- Implicitly typed local variable declaration: (for example var i = 42)
- Extension methods (the possibility to extend existing types with additional methods)
- Lambda expressions (cool SML like syntax for methods: x=> x + 42 )
- Greater type inference
- Object and collection initializers ( shorter syntax for creating instances)
- Anonymous types (like: new{Name = “Runi”, Language=”C sharp”})
- Implicity types arrays
- And the LINQ (declarative type safe access to query relational and hieratical data)

I will surely be there - see you all.
