Chris Auld - PDC09 Architecting and Developing for Windows Azure
Description
While technically the PDC this year starts on November 17th, the day before that we will be hosting a set of day-long intensive workshops on several specific topics.
One of these workshops will focus on the Patterns of Parallel Programming in order to help developers understand how the applications they are developing can, and should, be designed to take advantage of the multi-core processers which are now becoming common.
In this episode, Ade Miller stops by to share with us the importance of understanding parallelism and some of the issues which need to be considered and how it isn't just a "recompile" to make your applications ready.
You can get more details about this workshop on the PDC website here:

tomkirbygreen 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?

kgooding 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?

xtof 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

AdeMiller 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.
