Dear Unity game dev dinosaurs: Let's catch up on 10 years of C# improvements

Unity 2017 is upon us and with it we are getting a long overdue upgrade to a newer version of the Mono runtime. In this lightning talk we will look at what language and framework features the rest of the C# world has had for years and how it might be the right time to bring your code out of the stone ages. Covering topics from 'Why the dynamic language runtime is nothing to be afraid (or dogmatic) about' to 'Why are you still not using .NET 3.5 features like LINQ and anonymous types?', this talk aims to cover a lot of C# ground with concrete examples and high level discussions, from 101 to expert level. Patrick is the Co-Founder and Director at Greenheart Games, makers of Game Dev Tycoon. He is currently working on his second game: Tavern Keeper - A fantasy tavern simulator.
