Need to make your apps more responsive? Run faster? On today's multicore hardware, async and parallel programming may be the answer. This talk will introduce the new Task-oriented programming model in .NET 4, discuss its underlying execution, and demonstrate some of the higher-level constructs and patterns supported by the Task Parallel Library. A number of examples will be presented; and if time permits, we'll compare and contrast parallel programming in C# (imperative) vs. F# (functional) vs. LINQ (declarative).
