Summary

Last Monday evening I had a chat with the guys from DotNetRocks, and today the show has gone live.I wouldn't claim to have said anything particularly earth-shattering, and regular readers will probably be familiar with many of the themes anyway, but I thoroughly enjoyed it and hope you will too.

Post extract

Last Monday evening I had a chat with the guys from DotNetRocks, and today the show has gone live.

I wouldn't claim to have said anything particularly earth-shattering, and regular readers will probably be familiar with many of the themes anyway, but I thoroughly enjoyed it and hope you will too. Amongst other things, we talked about:

  • Protocol buffers
  • Implicit typing and anonymous types
  • Why it doesn't bother me that Office hasn't been ported to .NET
  • C# 4
  • My wishlist for C#
  • Threading and Parallel Extensions
  • Working for Google
  • How to learn LINQ
  • C# in Depth

Feedback welcome. And yes, I know I sound somewhat like a stereotypical upper-class idiot at times. Unfortunately there's not a lot I can do about that. Only the "idiot" part is accurate :)
