Ade Miller and Patterns of Parallel Programming

The Discussion

• 

  Awesome stuff, can't wait to see this session from PDC

• 

  Does look very interesting. My company doesn't have the budget to send me <sigh>. Any idea when the 'virtual' PDC will go live? What's the time delay going to be between the live presentations and they're being generally available online as Silverlight videos that the rest of us can see?

• 

  Excellent video, nicely explained.. good job guys

   

  It was mentioned briefly that parallelism could help data retrieval. Will namespaces (such as System.Data.Sql) be taking advantage of it in the near future? Or will this always be a "practice" that should be implemented.

   

  I love to think of where this is taking us in terms of computing. Lynne Hill similarly expressed that computers will be "doing things" for us without us knowing. This is exciting but whilst we ansiouxly wait how will parallelism be beneficial for web applications?

  just stumbled over this http://robertsundstrom.wordpress.com/2009/09/20/changes-to-the-system-io-namespace-in-net-framework-4-0-bcl/ 

  I gives a glimpse of what will be done in terms of IO . Not sure if similar changes will be made with System.Data.Sql

• 

  The PreCon sessions aren't videoed I'm afraid so you really have to be there.

   

  I've created a list of  some of resources we've been using to plan the event. There'll be more posts on my blog as we get closer to the event.
