Explore immutable data structures in C# and .NET in this comprehensive conference talk. Learn how immutability can enhance code clarity, simplify reasoning, and reduce runtime errors. Discover techniques for implementing immutable objects and collections in C#, and gain insights on refactoring existing codebases to incorporate immutability. Examine both positive and negative implications of introducing immutability to your projects. Delve into topics such as F# concepts, synchronization quadrants, Moore's Law, immutable classes, auto properties, readonly structures, and mutation patterns. Investigate practical examples, including refactoring strategies, the builder pattern, and Entity Framework considerations. Gain valuable insights on balancing immutability with other programming paradigms and aligning it with your team's approach to application architecture. Conclude with a discussion on persistent data structures, event sourcing, and Redux, encouraging a shift in perspective when approaching software development.
