Almost a year ago, I delivered an MSDN Event on Parallel Programming in Visual Studio 2010. At the time , I used the Visual Studio 2010 Beta 1 but the demos worked fairly well. Today, I delivered another version of the same talk, with only minor modifications. The difference is just that Visual Studio 2010 is out, and we’re talking about a mature framework which you should be using in your concurrent applications today. You can download the demos (which haven’t changed :-)) and slides from here ...
I promised you that my DevAcademy4 session will be recorded and available online shortly after the conference. Well, the conference was a blast, and the video recording, slides, and demos are all available online. Everyone who had to stand me for over 60 minutes in the packed session hall—thanks a lot for coming, and I hope you had fun! If there’s anything at all that you would like to follow up on, feel free to use the contact form . It might take a while before the materials are available at the...
A few days ago, at the Sela Developer Practice , Eran and I delivered a session titled “Parallel Programming with .NET 4.0 and Visual Studio 2010”. In this session we wanted to highlight the new features for parallel programming in .NET 4.0 – the Task Parallel Library and PLINQ – as well as the new Visual Studio 2010 features in the debugging and profiling areas. We started with what we call explicit parallelism – manually creating tasks and specifying what to do when they execute and when they complete...
As you probably know, Visual Studio 2010 has reached the Beta 2 milestone, with a go-live license available to start coding your production applications using this release. There have been some minor changes around the System.Threading.Tasks namespace and classes, with the most significant change being around the cancellation model for tasks. Instead of explicitly reaching out for a Task object and then calling its Cancel method (which has been removed, along with the static Task.Current property...
A couple of days ago I delivered a session on Parallel Programming in Visual Studio 2010 at the Microsoft offices in Raanana. The deck and code will appear on the official website (of Israel MSDN Events) shortly, but for now you can download them from my SkyDrive: Deck Demo code This session complements my earlier session on Concurrent Programming fundamentals , in which I provided a theoretical overview of some of the architectural and implementation issues in modern concurrent applications. In...
