UPDATE: The calendar is full. You can sign up to be an alternate, in case someone drops out or fails to deliver. I can't give you a date though, so you'd essentially have to have a post ready to go as soon as December 1st. And please, don't let the lack of an advent date keep you from writing that C# blog post! Finally, due to the tremendous response, I will double up the slots next year (from 25 to 50), assuming this advent goes well :)
I heard about the F# Advent Calendar, a traditional that's been carried on since 2010 (2014 in English). I think this is a great idea, and there needs to be one for C# too!
(I asked Sergey Tihon for permission!)
So, I need you to write a C# blog post!
Here are the rules:
- Reserve a slot on Twitter (with hash tag #csadvent) or leave a comment on this post. You do not have to announce your topic until the day you reserve.
- Prepare a blog post (in English).
- Add a link in your blog post that links back to here, so that your readers may find the entire advent.
- Publish your blog post on the specified date. Your post must be related to C# in some way, but otherwise the content is completely up to you. I've posted a few ideas below to get your creativity flowing.
- Post the link to your post on Twitter with hashtags #csharp and #csadvent
Below are all the slots, and who has claimed each date. I chose to go with 25 total slots (yes I know some advent calendars are 24).
I will do my best to keep this up to date. The slots will be first come first serve. I have already claimed December 25th for myself, since I assume that will be the least desirable date. But I'm happy to swap if you really really want that day.
Alternates:
- Leave a comment or tweet with #csadvent to be put on this list!
Some ideas:
- Introduction to [your favorite NuGet package]
- X C# Tricks and Tips
- JSON (De)serialization
- Streams
- The newer C# 6 and 7 features
- Async/await
Thanks to everyone who is participating! I hope this goes well and it can become an annual tradition.
