Parallel Programming for Managed Developers with the Next Version of Microsoft Visual Studio | pdc2008

Come learn how the next version of Visual Studio and the Microsoft .NET Framework can help you write better performing and more scalable applications. We take a tour of new .NET APIs, including the Task Parallel Library (TPL) and Parallel LINQ (PLINQ). We also introduce new features in the debugger that help you quickly identify concurrency issues and visualize the internal state of your application.

Excellent presentation. I am really excited to start playing with this. Wanted to see a little bit more on sharing resource among multiple threads/tasks (i.e. locks, producer consumer etc.)

WOW, fantastic. Great presenter, great code demos and I also learned a ton. I've done some very limited threading in the past and this really makes it much more accessable. VS for .net when it first came out made a massive impact on software dev, this is that next evolution IMHO.
