Hi, I am Andrea and welcome to Productive C#. In this video I want to talk about Try.NET. If you are completely new to C# and you want to give it a go without installing Visual Studio, that is the main IDE that you can use to actually write and build C# applications), you can do it now, by going to try.dot.net.
If you go to this URL, you will find a very simplified editor and in this case there is a program written in C# that prints the first 20 Fibonacci numbers and you can actually run it by clicking the "Run" button and you will see an execution of the C# program. Let's play a bit with it and see what the experience is. Basically you have a complete C# editor here and you also have Intellisense. Let's say I want to create a variable, then I want to do a foreach var numbers in number , Console.WriteLine and autocomplete number and you can do run.
So, if you are new to C# and you want to actually play with the language without installing a full fledged editor, you can do that now using this website. Microsoft is actually working on this and actually quite good.
Even if you are an experienced developer and you want to quickly run some C# for experimentation or if you don't have a machine with Visual Studio and you don't have time to actually install it, you can just go to this website and immediately run some C#. Pretty much all the .NET framework libraries are referenced automatically for you and you can actually start playing with it. Very very useful tool.
In addition to that, I want to show you that Microsoft is currently rolling it out to their documentation site. So, if you go to docs.microsoft.com, that is the main website for all the documentation, you can go for example to the C# QuickStart Guide , click on that and let's say I go to Hello World, let's click "Run your first C# program". What you can see here, on the right, you find a .NET editor that actually allows you to write C# directly in the browser and that's basically powered by the same engine that I showed you before in the other website. You can run it and get the results. So you basically have a kind of interactive way of learning C# and this is definitely a recommended way to learn C# if you are completely new to the language. Go to this website, play a bit with this tutorial and you can get good at C# without even installing Visual Studio.
Of course, if you are serious about programming in C# and I am sure you are, you absolutely have to install Visual Studio because allows you to build any kind of applications and it's an incredible tool. But remember that you have this website available for you if you need to learn C# or you actually want to play with it very quickly without waiting to install a complete IDE. Thanks you very much for watching.
Learn about the new private protected access modifier in C# 7.2 and how it relates to all the other access modifiers.

Transcript Of The Video
In this video I want to talk about the private protected member access modifier that has been introduced in C# 7.2. In order to do so, I'd like to have a quick look at all the other access modifiers to better understand how the new modifier works. I have a solution in Visual Studio with two projects: one console application and one library that is actually referenced by the console application. The first modifier we are all familiar with is Public. When I declare a member as Public, means that everyone can access it, inside the assembly or outside. If you make a member Private, you can't change it outside the context of the class. The next access modifier is Protected. Now all the types that derive from Shape are able to access the member. However, you are not able to create an instance of a shape and change the member. Only the classes themselves are able to change the member. The other modifier is Internal. This means that this member can be accessed everywhere inside the assembly where it belongs. However, the member is inaccessible outside the assembly boundary. The next level is Protected Internal. It's the combination of the previous two using OR. It is Protected or Internal. The member can be accessed everywhere inside the assembly where is defined and also can be accessed in all derived types regardless in which assembly they lives. In C# 7.2 a new modifier has been added and it is called Private Protected. It gives access to a particular member only to derived types inside the assembly where is defined. Everywhere else is inaccessible. It is the combination of Protected and Internal. There was no way to do this before. This is a new modifier that gives you an additional level of power in defining how you want to encapsulate your members. This access modifier was already available in the CLR so no changes were required in the CLR to implement this feature. It was never been implemented in C# mostly because it was quite difficult to name. It can creates a bit of a confusion. The best way to see it is: Private Protected is Protected And Internal while Protected Internal is Protected Or Internal.
