The GA of .NET 6 is right around the corner, I've posted some articles in the past about upcoming changes I'm looking forward to. While there are a lot of major improvements that get a lot of attention, many of the smaller improvements get pushed to the wayside. One small change that I really like is the new PeriodicTimer class.
APIs are one of the basic building blocks of modern software architectures. With the proliferation of HTTP based APIs, facilitating API consumption with minimal effort becomes crucial. The bridge between programming languages and APIs is to use a programmatic API specification that defines the contracts of the API.
One thing I've been jealous of scripting languages over the years is how easily they can be used to build out small and simple applications. For example, Node.js has the express library whereby a complete API can be built out in a single file. While more complex projects necessitate more framework than that, the required scaffolding for a simple program is fairly low.
With .NET 6 arriving this fall, there are a wealth of new features being introduced that I'm really excited about. With most new .NET versions come new features added to the C# language. As part of this article, I'm going to pick out a few of my favorites being introduced in C# 10 related to namespaces that I'll use often.
