Take it up a Notch: Parallel Programming in Visual Studio 2010
Sasha Goldshtein
The abundance of multi-core PCs at home and on the go leaves application developers no choice: Applications must use multiple processors to survive the competition and make better use of the underlying hardware. Parallelizing applications and dealing with synchronization and other concurrency problems has never been easy, though, and Visual Studio 2010 strives to make it easier. Sasha Goldshtein will show you how to use the new parallelism and concurrency constructs in .NET 4.0 which make designing and implementing high-performance concurrent applications much easier. We will also look at debugger features (such as Parallel Stacks) which make it easier to diagnose problems related to concurrent execution.
