Introduction
In the previous post we finished discussing the basics of object inheritance in Python. We saw an example where the Dog and a Duck classes inherited from an abstract base class called Animal. All common functionality was encapsulated within the Animal class. Dog and Duck retained the code specific to them.
In this post we’ll start looking into something very different: file input and output.

Introduction
In the previous post on generics we looked at an example of reading application settings from a configuration file. Application settings come in key-value pairs where the value can be of different type: string, integer, boolean and various others. The generic ConfigurationReaderService helped us improve the non-generic code where the function caller had to take care of the type conversion and validation steps.
In this post we’ll further improve our code by looking into generic methods.

Introduction
In the previous post we started looking into generics in .NET. We also saw an initial example where an abstract base class had a type parameter to define the type of the Id property. The implementing classes could then all derive from this generic class and define their Id type along the way.
In this post we’ll look at another example where generics can be useful.

.NET has the necessary objects to enable TCP-level messaging in the System.Net.Sockets namespace. The key objects to build an extremely simple TCP server are TcpListener and Socket. The TCP client and server can communicate in a stream-like fashion over the network using the NetworkStream object.
Here’s an example of how a TCP server can ingest the message of a single client:

Introduction
Generics is a way to generalise your code in .NET. We can generalise the types that an object and/or a function operates on. With generics we can reuse the same portion of code with multiple types. If used in appropriate places it can be a great tool against code duplication.
Generics is nothing new, it was a new language feature in .NET 2.0.
