Why Pointers Still Matter
๐ 4:15 pm - ๐As computers continue to become faster, and programming languages more powerful and abstract, the question arises: is there still a need for the humble pointer? I will demonstrate why the answer is 'yes', and show some practical scenarios in C# where some basic pointer skills pave the way for simpler and more efficient applications on today's desktops and devices.
It's such a privilege to be able to run this conference and DDD Perth would love to acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land in which DDD is created, presented, and shared, the Whadjuk people of the Noongar Nation and their connections to land, sea and community. We pay our respect to their Elders past, present and emerging, and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today.
