Yesterday, I spoke in Tallahassee .NET User Group's meeting. The topic was Generics in .NET 2.0. I divided my talk into 3 parts. I did feel that there was too much information to cover. I had to skip some of the content despite the fact that I still talked for 1 hr 45 minutes.

Here is the outline for the presentation:

Part I - Basic Concepts
- What is Generics?
- Need and Benefits
- Constraints
- Generic Collections
- Demo and Examples

Part II - Advanced Concepts
- Building a Custom Generic Class
- Applying Generics
- Practical Applications
- Generics Internals
- Generics and Reflection
- Generics and Serialization
- Generics and Remoting
- Comparison with C++ Templates and Java

Part III - Best Practices

In this part I covered some of the best practices from Professional .NET 2.0 Generics by Tod Golding.

Thanks to every one who came to the meeting. All of you filled my bucket with your presence. Also thanks to Jaya and Jose for inviting me to present. It was a pleasure.

The presentation slides and demo source code can be downloaded from here.
