  • Writing modern C++ code: how C++ has evolved over the years

    Great presentation!

  • Anders Hejlsberg: Questions and Answers

    First of all, thank you Charles for interviewing Anders! (I know you prefer talking about native code, hehe)

    As CaaS will have a tremendous impact in many peoples productivity (I bet it will be _the_ killer feature), any updates about roslyn are highly appreciated!

    As a sidenote: When Anders talked about the time he worked on visual programming and small demos that work, but real world stuff that drowns in its own complexity, it reminded me of a project I worked on when the workflow foundation just came out and in a fit of the latest and greatest it got used for all the wrong reasons. Argh - just remembering the agonizing slow designer when it tried to popluate the screen with an 'if' and a 'while' loop makes my head hurt. Never again - to steal Anders words: I've come to peace with code.

  • DevCamp 2010 Keynote - Rx: Curing your asynchronous programming blues

    Thanks for the long explanation!

    Glad to see they are complementary, considering the past ways for async operations I was kind of worried.

    I wouldn't have seen ; : linq = Task : Rx if it poked me in the eye - but it makes perfectly sense!

    Thanks again!

  • DevCamp 2010 Keynote - Rx: Curing your asynchronous programming blues

    Great Presentation! Best Rx material I've seen yet. Now I can make sense of the Rx Design Guidelines.pdf.

    Since async/await is in ctp, I am using a combination Task.FromAsync() and Unwrap() to handle composition of async operations. Now, Rx looks to me like good tool for observing a "stream of Tasks".

    Could you elaborate if and how Rx and Task<T> fit together, especially with the Async Ctp? On the first look, there seem to be similarities between the two.

     

  • E2E: Concurrent Programming with Revisions

    Thank you for the cast Charles, very interesting stuff Smiley

    E2E with Erik is a must see, as he really maxes out the interview (so much for performance tuning!)

  • MEF & Silverlight 4 Beta - Part 2, Imports & Exports

    Wow, kudos to you! Best screencast I've seen yet.

     

    FYI: I am new to MEF but I've read some articles about IoC/DI in general and your screencast is right on target, I can't think of a thing to improve it. I am looking forward to watching your other vids seeing what other cool stuff MEF can do!
