The CodeMash Organizing Committee is thrilled to
announce our second keynote speaker for CodeMash: Mads Torgersen.
Mads Torgersen is the Language PM for C# at Microsoft. He runs the C#
language design meetings, takes the notes, maintains the language
specification and that type of language lawyer activity. He also
occasionally gets to go out and meet real customers, as well as some of
the self-established customer spokespeople that populate events like
CodeMash. Before joining Microsoft 3 years ago, Mads was almost a real
academic, working as an Associate Professor at a Danish university and
doing programming language research. During that time he ran a
collaboration with Sun Microsystems to design and implement generic
wildcards in Java.
The careful reader will note that the new version of
the C# language specification (http://tinyurl.com/54qt4a) includes Mads
as an author. We're very excited about him speaking at CodeMash.
