Welcome to the "Back To Basics" Screencast Series. In this series of screencasts, we will be taking a look at specific .NET language features, as well as features of the .NET Framework itself. We'll be playing particular attention to how these various features work and why you, as a…

The Parallel Computing Platform team's Steve Teixeira (PUM), Daniel Moth (PM and Channel 9 Screencaster Extraordinaire!) and Sean Nordberg (GPM) sit down with me to discuss Microsoft's overall approach to Parallel Computing inside Visual Studio (improved concurrency debugging and…

This is the second year I've been lucky enough to take part in the cross-platform software engineering conference JAOO. Like last year, I was very fortunate to get to sit down with a few key players in the programming languages design field and watch several technical presentations…

Bob Familiar interviews Stephen Tarmey of Tyco Software House on how he discovered the Concurrency and Coordination Runtime in the Robotics Studio SDK and used it to implement a high throughput asynchronous I/O pattern.
