What's New in C# 6, C# 7 and Visual Studio 2017

About this Course
C# is one of the most powerful languages in the modern world of programming. It has one of the most powerful type system. There was a battle for sometime between Java and C# and now we can say for sure that C# won that battle from the language features point of view.

C# 6 is already released and fully available with Visual Studio 2015. C# 7 is under development still, but many announced features are already implemented and we can play with them in Visual Studio 2017which is currently (when I'm writing this) itself under development (release candidate is available).
