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...
Eran and I delivered a session titled “Building Workflow Services with WF 4.0 and WCF 4.0” at the Sela Developer Practice on Tuesday. This session was all about integrating the new features of WF 4.0 and WCF 4.0 to create a workflow application that orchestrates the execution of multiple WCF services. During the session, we showed how to use WCF 4.0’s ad-hoc discovery, how to write declarative workflows and use custom activities, how to take advantage of the built-in messaging activities in WF 4...

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...
