Master the art of Reflection in .NET using C# and make the impossible, possible
Reflection makes programming feel like magic, even more than it already does. It allows developers to gain access to programming capabilities, that compile time safety might not allow. Reflection is used everywhere, and it is the glue that brings some of the most advanced features in .NET together to enable us to build APIs, web applications, mobile apps, desktop apps, and so much more. Knowing how to use reflection is one thing, but very few developers fully understand it and use such a powerful tool responsibly. In this course, Microsoft Principal Software Engineering Manager Nick Consentino will teach you how to use reflection in your codebases correctly to build incredible software.
