From LINQ to SilverLight – Watch videos and hear about all the cool technologies coming and the people behind them. http://channel9.msdn.com/Tags/software-engineering en Wed, 19 Jun 2013 22:59:03 GMT Wed, 19 Jun 2013 22:59:03 GMT Rev9 5 1 25 Immo Landwerth and Andrew Arnott: Inside Immutable Collections Immutable Collections are a new set of immutable types for .NET. We covered the high level aspects of this new technology a few months back when Erik Meijer interrogated (in his friendly way) the PM of the project, Immo Landwerth, and the lead developer, Andrew Arnott. Since this time, they have received a lot of feedback (thank you!) and have also been busy refining and optimizing their code. Here, Andrew and Immo go deep into how this stuff works and why it's designed the way it is. We talk about how to use these new types and how not to. We learn what the team has been working on and may work on for future releases. As is the case with any Going Deep episode, this is long form conversation and, well, deep. Tune in!

More on Immutable Collections (download the preview versions via NuGet):

The NuGet package preview includes these types:

  • ImmutableStack<T>
  • ImmutableQueue<T>
  • ImmutableList<T>
  • ImmutableHashSet<T>
  • ImmutableSortedSet<T>
  • ImmutableDictionary<K, V>
  • ImmutableSortedDictionary<K, V>

Interfaces for each of these types are also defined to facilitate exchange of immutable collection types that may be implemented differently to optimize for very specific performance or memory requirements.

See Andrew's blog for more detailed information (on immutable types for .NET and more. Lots of great info...).

It was great to get back to Australia and meet so many excellent developers and have the chance to geek out with so many industry luminaries. Huge thanks to the Godfather, Dave Thomas, and his amazing team for putting on such a great show and providing Channel 9 with first class access to speakers and the event.

Who better to start of this series than Dave Thomas, the founder of YOW! and an icon in the software industry. Dave's the guy who invented Eclipse and was once a flag bearer for object oriented programming (he's since shied away from the "objects always, everywhere" philosophy. Dave is a developer's best friend and we love that.

Tune in and see what's on Dave's mind these days and learn a thing or two about YOW!, software engineering trends, and some big problems that face general purpose computing - for people or "users", not just developers. The Godfather has some things to say, so you better listen closely! Smiley

Thank you, Dave, for hosting C9 at YOW! 2012 and for being such a big supporter of what we do here.

Often these engineers, as important as their roles might be in the systems that they oversee, will describe themselves as "just an engineer".  Perhaps that's sort of like Clark Kent describing himself as "just a reporter".  Today's guest might try to describe himself as "just an engineer at heart", but we'll see that he is a lot more than that.
 
Henry Sanders got his start at Microsoft in 1988, working on OS/2 and later Windows NT, which was a key turning point in Microsoft's history and its evolution of Windows.  Core infrastructure, and often the networking stacks, is what Henry focused on. Today he heads up the development team for Windows Phone and applies the same drive toward providing solidly built systems to this new and exciting platform that continues to illustrate the evolution of Windows and the applications that run on them.

Prof. Rombach's main research topics can be found in the area of "Software Engineering", especially in methods for developing software with predictable quality, in quantitative methods for measuring and assessing software products and software processes, in languages and methods for developing and using explicit software process models, in process-based software development environments as well as in software reuse. As a consultant, he works for various U.S. American and European companies.[source]

Dr. Rombach currently leads both the Research Group for Software Engineering (AGSE) and the Fraunhofer Institute for Experimental Software Engineering (IESE).

Here, Wolfram Schulte interviews Dr. Rombach at ICSE 2011. You'll get a high level overview of Dr. Rombach's work in designing and implementing scalable strategies and methodologies for controlling complexity and adding reliability to software development projects of any size and complexity. This is a very interesting and important aspect of the software engineering discipline. Dr. Rombach also enjoys the challenges of managing complexity in an entirely unrelated context. Tune in to find out what this may be...
