VBUG Newcastle: Concurrency Using Functional Patterns in C# with Oliver Sturm

Date
Wed, 21 Oct 2009, 18:30 - 21:00 (Add to calendar) GMT
Venue
Room 118 , Newcastle-upon-Tyne, GB
Cost
FREE

The multi-core scalability issue is being widely discussed these days, and one solution that is regularly proposed involves the application of patterns from functional programming. One of the paradigms of FP is the immutability of data, which is what makes it appealing when it comes to concurrency. In this session, Oliver uses a practical example to show concurrency in action, based on immutable data and other functional approaches.

Oliver is an experienced software architect, developer, trainer and author, with a strong background in various different fields, including system and framework architecture and design, process modeling and user interface design. He is a C# MVP and he works for Developer Express as a Technical Evangelist and Lead Program Manager for the Frameworks Division.
