Visualizing Concurrency, F# and More

I finally found time to catch up on a few video’s:

• Visualizing Concurrency: VS 2010 Beta 2 – Parallel Performance Profiling Advancements – very cool tool
• VS2010 Parallel Computing Features Tour – cool stuff, but does this work for Silverlight applications? The Analyze\Performance Wizard doesn’t seem to be very Silverlight friendly 😦
• Rico Mariani: Inside Visual Studio Beta 2 – Performance and Reliability – Sounds like WPF improved a number of synchronisation points, and VS memory is dropping 🙂 A flag ship application in WPF – so says Rico!
• Mark Russinovich: Inside Windows 7 Redux
• C9 Lectures: Dr. Erik Meijer – Functional Programming Fundamentals Chapter 4 of 13 – don’t forget to watch the other 3 chapters!

Here are a few posting’s I’ve read tonight:

• Looks like the “Functional Programming eXchange” could be rather interesting if one has £25 and a free day – Credit Suisse and F#
• Threadedness in WF
• Thread-safe data structures .NET 4.0
• Touch Pack
• Axum at PDC! – if I was going to the PDC this is one session I’d watch

And a touch of C# madness:

• Simple equivalent of “With” statement in C#
• hashes
• more hashes
• Using C# dynamic to call static members
