About us
The Greater Lansing User Group for .NET Developers (aka GLUGNET) was formed in 2003 to provide education and socialization to the area's developers. Although .NET is in our name, we believe in polyglot development. As such, we discuss not only .NET, but also topics such as web development, mobile development, databases and soft-skills. Our meetings are held on the third Thursday of each month. There is no cost to attend. Meetings are currently held virtually.

Avoiding null! in C# with AL Rodriguez
·OnlineOnlineNull references are a problem that can show up anywhere. As developers, we have to litter out code with null checks.
Thankfully C# has a feature to help with that, Nullable Reference Types (NRTs). They utilize a mix of syntax and special C# Attributes to enable null checking at compile time. It's not a perfect system, but it's WAY better than not using NRTs.
In this session we'll review (and demo!) the different ways Nullable Reference Types help us when something may be null, by talking about:
- The helpful NRT C# syntax and attributes
- How NRT code is different for object deserialization
- Cases where NRTs aren't as helpful as we'd like them to beSchedule
