C# Dynamics in the Wild

C# developers are torn between finding dynamics cool & useful and terrible & dangerous. In this talk I describe the basic use of dynamics and how it works before trying to show some usages of dynamics that can be both useful and even mighty. This Slide deck (in English) used at the HerbstCampus Conference in Nürnberg in September 2013 and provides you with an overview of the basic elements of the dynamics as well as examples of their usages. The presentation material as well as the demo code can be found on github at https://github.com/Timothep/Talk.Dynamics
