What do you really need to know about C# 3.0?

With the recent release of Visual Studio 2008 Beta 2, the time left to update your knowledge to the new C# 3.0 is becoming thiner. This next version of the language will bring new features you simply can’t miss.

Jomo Fisher has a list of features you can’t ignore in C# 3.0:

• You Can Target Older .NET Framework Versions
• Automatic Properties
• Simpler Delegates
• Type Inference: The var Keyword
• HashSet
• Collection Initializers
• Extension Methods
• Expression Trees

He also provides a small overview on those features in his post.

If want, you can also find the document with the complete C# 3.0 Language Specification on MSDN. There’s also a MSDN video with the language enhancements in action.
