Hey all,
The VTSDA list had this note in it about 'Code Camp'. Check the website ... if you want ... it is a MS/VS.NET oriented free day-long workshop/conference with amateur speakers (i.e., amateur and pro-coders that don't make a living by touring conferences and giving talks) on a variety of useful topics. Of course it appears that MS sponsors it to some degree, but I don't know how much... Is there anything FOSS-oriented like this in the North East? Just curious, Nick --- Nicholas Floersch (pr. Floor-sh) Stone Environmental, Inc. From: Julie Lerman [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, March 26, 2009 8:46 AM To: Julie Lerman Subject: VTdotNET April Meeting, Save the Date - April 20th! (and anyone going to Code Camp this saturday?) The April meeting of VTdotNET will be delayed until April 20th, so save the date! Eric de Carufel is coming down from Montreal to tell us about Parallel Programming and the new Parallel Extensions for Visual Studio. Topic: There is no more free lunch! The Moore's law is over. If we want more power we need to cross the processor barrier and do work in parallel. In June 2008, Microsoft released its second CTP of Parallel Extensions library. Come with me to see how easy it will be to make that leap of faith into the world of parallel processing. We will see how Task, concurrent collections, lazy initialization, parallel Linq and other tools can help us in this endeavour. Speaker Bio: Eric De Carufel is a .NET solution architect for Orckestra in Montreal. He is a specialist in application development with Microsoft .NET Framework.
