Hello! The VTD this time was exciting and it was fun to do a session on .NET 4.0. I hope most of you benefitted from my session, if not all. Once again, the objective was to put forth some of the interesting issues and problems that we face today in general. Perhaps because the problem initially was not realized or probably because of the framework limitations earlier. Frameworks are ever evolving and as our demands grow in terms of productivity, hardware and software, there is a necessity to constantly upgrade our framework so that it meets the most current and immediate future needs.
.NET Framework 4.0 has a load of new things that specifically target, productivity of the developer, performance of the app and overall scalability of the app to co-align with new hardware paradigm that are lately coming into being.
I wish I had a little bit more time to do a few more demos. Nevertheless, we spoke / touched-base on the following with some demos as well:
- Code Contracts
- Background GC
- Type Equivalence and Type Embedding
- Dynamic Language Runtime
- Managed Extensibility Framework
As promised here are some of the demos that I did along with the slide deck. I am intentionally omitting some of the demos, since the code is yet not shareable. However, once I am all set to share that code, I will do so.
Note: The code is for demo purpose only and bucketed from various online / internal sources. I am thankful to my friends in the CLR team for giving me their valuable time and sharing some demos with me in order to make this session successful.
