C# Generics
Generics are a powerful feature of the C# language.This course will look at the built-in generic collections of the .NET framework, and use generic classes, interfaces, and delegates in building custom collections, and custom APIs for a repository and inversion of control container.
What you'll learn
Generics are a powerful feature of the C# language that allow you to create type-safe data structures and APIs. This course will examine generics from every angle.
