CQRS isn’t the answer – it’s just one of the questions →
With the growing interest in Command/Query Responsibility Segregation (CQRS), more people are starting to ask questions about how to apply it to their applications. CQRS is actually in danger of reaching “best practice” status at which point in time people will apply it indiscriminately with truly terrible results.

C# 4.0: Covariance And Contravariance In Generics →
Covariant: MyClass<out T>
The ordering of the generic types follows the ordering of the generic type parameters. Generic<T> ≥ Generic<S> for T ≥ S.
A generic type parameter marked with the out keyword can only appear in output positions such as read-only properties and return values.
Contravariant: MyClass<in T>
The ordering of the generic types is reversed from the ordering of the generic type parameters. Generic<T> ≥ Generic<S> for T ≤ S.
A generic type parameter marked with the in keyword can only appear in input positions such as write-only properties and method parameters. Not including ref and out parameters.
Invariant: MyClass<T>
A generic type parameter is invariant if neither of the above apply.
