INDA - Another great session soon!
 | 14-06-2005 C# - 2.0 and Beyond presented by Eamon O'Tuathail |
| Summary This session explores how C# will evolve in the short and long-term to suit the needs of professional developers. C# 2.0 will soon be ready for production use and offers rich constructs such as generics, iterators/coroutines, anonymous methods, partial types and nullable types. Further out is C? (pronounced C Omega), an experimental C# derivative language from Microsoft Research that integrates concurrency (as asynchronous methods) and XQuery & SQL data access (as C# keywords, not strings) directly in the C# language. C#+ Extensions extends C#2.0/C? in interesting ways (AOP, design by contract, specgen and concept types [generics]). The session will conclude with a practical demonstration of the new language features in use. C++ STL is the premier library of concepts, algorithms, containers, iterators & allocators. We examine how to rewrite it in C#2.0/C?/C#+. Speaker: Eamon O'Tuathail Start Time: 19:00 Location: Dublin - To be confirmed  Eamon O'Tuathail (http://www.clipcode.biz) provides consultancy and training on advanced areas of .NET. He is the author of the C#+ Extensions spec and coauthor of IETF RFC3288. He is the winner of the Microsoft EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa) Security Developer Championship. Eamon believes that software patents will have an extremely detrimental effect on small European ISVs - hence he supports the efforts of FFII and encourages all European .NET developers to do likewise. | |
