Overview .NET is great platform, it speeds up the development process, you deal with your application logic and in most cases you don't need to know that there is whole Windows operating system down there. However sometimes you do need to program against Windows without the .NET assistance. As a Windows developer, you need to keep all your weapons ready, be it .NET, COM or C++ with the native Win32 API. In this article I am going to show how to deal with Windows Message based communication protocol...

I’ve had the chance to take part in the last BUILD conference. It is true that you don’t have to travel to the other side of the world to get the new knowledge. You can follow the tweets, read the blogs and watch the online videos. However being at the conference gives you the opportunity and time to be focused and the ability to meet people and build your perception about the future of the current and new technologies. And there is a lot to think about: The future of Windows, The future of .NET...

I really enjoyed taking part in the E4D expert day. The organization, atmosphere and the audience were perfect. I'd like to thank Eyal and Sarit for the opportunity to deliver three lectures in this event. I'd like also to thank the professional people that came to hear me. I enjoyed the interaction, the hard questions, the comments and feedbacks you have provided. For those of you that took part in one of my seminars, please contact me and request a link to the materials download sites....
I have just received a mail telling me that I am continued to be a C++ MVP , 6 year in a row. I am happy to be C++ MVP. Although I am doing a lot of .NET and C# developing, I am also continue to have C++ project, Win32 and COM and I am doing a lot of interop. I have also taught several C++ classes this year including Advanced Windows Debugging Techniques and Windows Concurrent Programming in the Multi-Core Era with the new concurrent runtime and libraries of VC++ 10. The rumors say that C++ will...
Now, after Shy & I have delivered the Cost Oriented Development lecture, I can relax and post a little bit about this conference. Tech Ed 2011 is a really BIG conference. The Georgia World Conference Center is huge, and even thousands of attendees can not fill it. The Expo is twice larger than it was in the last LA PDC and you can see that companies that present here invest a lot. The audience is a mixture of IT professionals and developers. CloudValue , the CodeValue subsidiary company has a...

At the beginning of 2005 Herb Sutter had an article stating that the developer’s free lunch is over. We had an assumption that more transistors in the CPU imply better application execution speed. The CPU executes the code in a sequential manner hence the performance of the CPU-bound code is directly related to CPU frequency. This used to be our “Free Lunch”: an old program runs faster on a new CPU. Using this assumption with modern low power consumption multi-core CPUs is wrong, we might even find...
Visual Studio 2010 brings back the power of C++. The new language capabilities and optimized STL libraries, the developers productivity as well as the resulting executable performance are much higher. In this post I’d like to present one of the abilities of the ConcRT Asynchronous Agents Library. Agent is based on the Actor Model and is one of the building block of a Concurrent Dataflow Network. The idea behind the Asynchronous Agent Library is that you build a network from agents and message blocks...
Arnon and I would like to thank all the people that attended today the Introducing Windows Azure lecture. The feedbacks (verbal and written) were great, thank you. As I said in the lecture, one of the best ways to further learning how to develop to Windows Azure is the Windows Azure training kit . Beside that you can watch and read the materials from the last PDC . To those of you that couldn't come to this event, I will briefly describe what we delivered: In the first lecture we introduced the...
After 15 years at Sela I decided to take a new path. Sela was a home and family, I enjoyed being part of this family for all those great years. I don't say goodbye, I will continue to give lectures at Sela and jump from time to time. This is the time to thank Dudu, Caro, Ishay and to all other employees or shell I say friends. Erez and I with another 9 great professionals are establishing a new software company - CodeValue . Our target customers are people like us, professional developers who...
