VBUG Newcastle event next Wednesday (21st) - Concurrency Using Functional Patterns in C# with Oliver Sturm

[Andrew Westgarth (VBUG North East)]

We have an event running next Wednesday (21st October) with a great
speaker - Oliver Sturm from Developer Express visiting. Might be of
interest to some of the list members.

Overview: 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.
