Abstract

In this chapter, you learn about generic programming and you are introduced to generics, one of the coolest features of C#. It is an integral part of advanced programming. Generic programming simply means the efficient use of generics. It first appeared in C# 2.0. Over time, additional flexibilities were added to this powerful feature, and nowadays, you find rare real-life applications that do not use generics at their core.
