DevAcademy4 Session: Parallel Programming in .NET 4 and Visual Studio 2010

Sorry for the late announcement, but on Monday I’m going to present a session called Parallel Programming in .NET 4 and Visual Studio 2010 at the Microsoft Developer Academy 4 (Avenue, Airport City).

There are six (!) Sela speakers at the conference: Gil Fink, Alex Golesh, Shai Raiten, Alon Fliess, Noam King, and yours truly—and I’m sure they are going to rock, so take a look at the conference schedule to see which sessions you want to attend.

I wouldn’t want to ruin the fun for the ones who are planning to come to my talk, but here are some of the things we’ll see:

• Styles of concurrent applications today
• The shift from imperative to declarative parallelism
• What’s in the box with .NET 4 and Visual Studio 2010 with regards to parallel programming
• Data parallelism, processing parallelism, explicit task management
• Migration strategy and integration examples

The sessions will be recorded (AFAIK) so even if you’re unable to attend my talk, I’ll let you know how you can tune in after the conference. I will also upload the presentation, the demos, and any other materials after my talk.

As for the demos—let’s just say that it’s popular to integrate Twitter into every demo at every conference talk, so there will be a Twitter client of some sort but it might have a surprising user interface.
