Ch9Live at Silverlight 4 Launch – Ask The Gu
Comments Off
Scott Guthrie, Corporate Vice President of the .NET Developer Platform, sat down with Charles Torre and John Papa at DevConnections 2010 in Las Vegas to answer your Silverlight 4 questions live on the air.
This session was recorded live as part of Channel 9 Live at the Silverlight 4 Launch from the Bellagio Hotel & Casino on April 13th 2010.
Join Scott Hanselman as he explains ASP.NET MVC from File -> New Project. We’ll dig into the details and try to put MVC into perspective. Is WebForms going away? What’s better about MVC vs. WebForms? How does MVC sit on top of ASP.NET and how was it written? We’ll play with call stacks, and avoid PowerPoint slides! This is an introduction to ASP.NET, but it’s not a “basic” session. We assume you have some web development concepts or perhaps you’re a professional ASP.NET WebForms developers who is just starting out with ASP.NET MVC.
This session is presented by Scott Hanselman during Microsoft DevDays 2010 in The Hague in The Netherlands.
Inside SPUR – A Trace-Based JIT Compiler for CIL
Comments Off
Computer Scientists and MSR Researchers Wolfram Schulte, Herman Venter, Nikolai Tillmann, and Manuel Fahndrich join Erik Meijer for an Expert to Expert deep dive into the theory and implementation strategies inside of SPUR, a research Tracing Just-In-Time (TJIT) compiler for Microsoft’s Common Intermediate Language CIL (the target language of C#, VB.NET, F#, and many other .NET languages).
Tracing just-in-time compilers (TJITs) determine frequently executed traces (hot paths and loops) in running programs and focus their optimization effort by emitting optimized machine code specialized to these traces. Prior work has established this strategy to be especially beneficial for dynamic languages such as JavaScript, where the TJIT interfaces with the interpreter and produces machine code from the JavaScript trace.
In order to validate that the performance gains of a TJIT for interpreted languages like JavaScript do not depend on specific idioms of the language, the SPUR team produces a performance evaluation of a JavaScript runtime that translates JavaScript to CIL and then runs on top of SPUR.

In this session, Scott Hanselman gives a deep and broad tour of the .NET 4 release, with a focus on making your development experience easier. See lots of demos (and very few slides) showcasing the key new features in the .NET Framework 4 including MEF, improvements in ASP.NET, threading, multi-core and parallel extensions, additions to the base classes, changes and additions to the CLR and DLR, what’s new for the languages (Visual Basic and C#), and of course, what’s new in Windows Presentation Foundation and System.Web. Come and see how all these new features and capabilities improve your overall .NET experience!
This session is presented by Scott Hanselman during Microsoft DevDays 2010 in The Hague in The Netherlands.
Margus Veanes, a Researcher from the RiSE group at Microsoft Research, gives an overview of Rex, a tool that generates matching string from .NET regular expressions. Rex turns regular expressions into symbolic automatons, then gives them to a constraint solver to find matching strings.
- Download Rex and play with it!
The Research in Software Engineering team (RiSE) coordinates Microsoft’s research in Software Engineering in Redmond, USA.
In this video, Jon talks to ASP.NET team member Brad Wilson about new Templating and Validation features in ASP.NET MVC 2.
Brad shows off templating, strongly typed helpers, model validation, and client-side validation, building an edit form at lightning speed. Don’t blink!
Senior Vice President S. Somasegar (aka Soma) joins us for a chat about Visual Studio 2010 RTM, which is available today. Visual Studio 2010 and .NET Framework 4 offer an unprecedented level of support for Microsoft’s platforms, including Windows, Windows Server, Office, SharePoint, Windows Phone, SQL, and Windows Azure. Here we get Soma’s perspective on this release, Microsoft’s broadest developer tooling offering ever, including several enhancements and new capabilities for both managed and native developers alike.
MSDN customers will be able to download VS 2010 and .NET Framework 4.
Tune in!
/* Life Runs on Code */
Welcome to the first installment of the Visual Studio Documentary.This is an hour long documentary that is split into two parts, roughly a half hour each. Welcome to part one, where we take you back to the days of MS-DOS and Alan Cooper who originally sold Visual Basic to Bill Gates back in 1988. Next week we will feature Part Two but for those that would like to watch it sooner, here is Part Two. In addition, each week we will post a longer and more in-depth stand alone interview from the interviewees that were featured in the documentary.
Not only did we sift through hundreds of videos and assets but we sat down for an intimate conversation with those that were there since the very beginning:
Scott Guthrie, Dan Fernandez, Jason Zander, Tim Huckaby
S. Somasegar, Dave Mendlen, Dee Dee Walsh, Mardi Brekke, Jeff Hadfield, Alan Cooper, Anders Hejlsberg, and Tony Goodhew
Part One dives into MS-DOS, OS/2, Windows, Microsoft Visual Basic, Visual Basic 2.0, Visual Basic 3.0, Microsoft Visual C++, Visual Interdev, FoxPro, Visual Studio 97, ASP.NET and the early days of Microsoft’s Dev community.
We hope you enjoy!

Interested in learning how new innovations in Microsoft’s Web Platform and developer tools like ASP.NET 4 and Visual Studio 2010 can make you a more productive web developer? If you’re currently working with PHP, Ruby, ASP or older versions of ASP.NET and want to hear how you can create amazing websites more easily, then register for a Web Camp near you today!
Microsoft’s Web Camps are free, two-day events that allow you to learn and build on the Microsoft Web Platform. At camp, you will hear from Microsoft experts on the latest components of the platform, including ASP.NET Web Forms, ASP.NET MVC, jQuery, Entity Framework, IIS, Visual Studio 2010 and much more.
Web Camps also provide the opportunity to get hands on with labs and get creative by building in teams. All this with Microsoft experts on hand to guide you through.
Here, we meet the mastermind behind Web Camps, James Senior, to get some details about these camps and to get some insights into the thinking behind this new form of in-person training for web developers. Please note that during the conversation James mentioned that Scott Hanselman will be presenting in Singapore. In fact, he meant to say Sydney.
We look forward to seeing you at camp soon! http://www.webcamps.ms/
