Events in C#: Let’s Party
What do I think about events in C#? I think they are not so different from what we have in real life. And when we have an event, we need to think of three things: who is the host, who are the guests, and what do we need to put onto the invitation cards.

C#: Even implicit conversions of types are not safe
Recently, I ran into an issue involving implicit type conversion. Before this case, I expected that compiler took care of any implicit conversions it allowed. Apparently, it is not true.

Encouraged by Dmitry aka Senior Software Vlogger recently I read an interesting paper called “Out of the Tar Pit” by Ben Moseley and Peter Marks. Good 50% of the article is way over my head.
According to the paper the two most important ways of how complexity comes to our apps are State and Control. Control is order in which things happen inside app. State is variables that change what and in which order program does. Both of them make an app hard to understand hence to modify.
The less State and Control a computer program has the better. The simplest program “Hello world!” does not have State and has only one thing to do (console output of a hard-coded string).
That’s all right but the authors say that OOP (which I like a lot) does not help fighting complexity. And this conclusion surprised me because… it really does! I wanted to check the authors conclusion by practice.
