If you're using modern .NET, you have undoubtedly heard about Source Generators. Source Generators are powering a new way to create code with code. It's time you understand how they work.
In many cases, Source Generators are a better solution than using Reflection when speed, AOT builds, and better tooling for you development teams. The Roslyn source generators are a compelling way to write code while your users are writing their code. In this talk, Shawn will build a source generator from scratch to show you all the gory details.
