on YouTube ↗01h 14m

" summary

Covers ten concrete C# additions (6→9) with code examples, compiler notes and migration steps: shows string interpolation and out-variable declarations as syntactic sugar, explains default interface methods as a way to add nonbreaking implementations, demos nullable reference types as an opt-in compiler check that surfaces thousands of warnings but can be escalated to errors, uses NuGet for value tuples, demonstrates pattern matching switch expressions and record types that auto-generate value equality and with-expressions.
