SDP Agenda - TPL and Beyond

the SDP conference is taking place next week
and we have close the final agenda.
the first day (Introduction to TPL) will include:
- TPL introduction
- What's new in TPL 4.5
the second day (Parallel Programming: One Step Beyond) will include:
- Async (new syntax for .NET 4.5)
- Rx - Reactive Extension
- TPL Dataflow
Rx - User Group Summary
I want to thanks the participant of User Group.
a subject that was continually raising during the session was the Rx Remote (cloud) story, as I said this is something that the Rx team is working on.
we can see some early adoption of the Idea in open source like Rxx, but the library's API doesn't there yet.
today we still do not have a real simple scenario of remote scheduler (over Remoting / Wcf / Azure), and even more important remote IQbservable that will evaluate the Linq query at the remote side (on the cloud).
I personally eager to see how the Rx team would address this challenge.

what's next:
as I mention before Yaniv Rodenski and I will give a 2 days tutorials about TPL and Async programing in .NET 4.5 at 2011/12/7-8.
you can resister at Sela Developer Practice.
Rx - User Group Materials
Today I'm taking about Rx in the Israel .NET User Group.
I have decide to upload the session material in advance.
you can get session materials here.
I hope that everyone will find the session beneficial and interesting.
Rx - User Group session

this is just a reminder,
tomorrow (Wednesday 2011-11-22)
I'm giving Rx (Reactive Extension) session at Microsoft Israel user group.
if you want to hear about Rx you can register at here.

on the other hand if you want a full day tutorial on TPL 4.5 you can resister to Sela Developer Practice (this one is not for free).
Yaniv Rodenski and I will give 2 days tutorials about TPL and Async programing in .NET 4.5.
the first day is a walk through TPL 4 and the new async and await keywords of .NET 4.5.
and the second day will focus on what's new in TPL 4.5, TPL Dataflow and Rx (Reactive Extension).
the agenda still may slightly shift but you should be aware that the second day assume deep understanding of TPL 4, therefore it is very recommended to have both the first and second day.
if you can only attend one day and you don't have real solid understanding and practice in TPL 4, I recommend the first day over the second.
