Scott and Stephen are back with another entry in the Deep .NET series, this time looking deep at System.Span enabling the representation of contiguous regions of arbitrary memory, regardless of whether that memory is associated with a managed object, is provided by native code via interop, or is on the stack. And it does so while still providing safe access with performance characteristics like that of arrays. Let's go deep on Span.

    It's crazy how simple Span is on the inside considering the impact it's had on .NET in recent years.
  • @TheChonsey
    Awesome content. Please make a video on System.IO.Pipelines
  • @BryanKelly
    How does Span relate to Memory? I'd love to see a follow up to this that gets into that detail.
  • @behboodik
    Every video with Stephen in it is a treasure
  • @fieryscorpion
    This is amazing! Now I need a video on Multithreading and Parallel Processing from Scott and Stephen!
  • @lstutzman
    Fantastic content guys!! Can’t wait for the next one. A deep dive into the GC would be cool

    "Have you got anything without Span?" "Well, there's Span Span List and Span, that's not got much Span in it."
