Happy new year!. In this post I would like to give you FREE learning resources to learn parallelism that will come with .NET Framework 4.0 including parallel extension to .NET, PLINQ and native C++ (parallel pattern library). A lot of materials came previously before PDC like: The Channel 9 videos are rolling in Webcasts on Parallelism from France Parallel Extensions Demo Fun on Channel 9 More Channel 9 Parallel Extensions Goodness New PLINQ video on Channel 9 Task Parallel Library on Channel 9 Burton Smith on Channel 9 Parallel Extensions on .NET Rocks Parallelism in October 2008 MSDN Magazine Another Parallel Extensions screencast.
And in the PDC 2008, parallelism was one of the focus:
Parallel Programming for Managed Developers with the Next Version of Microsoft Visual Studio Parallel Programming for C++ Developers in the Next Version of Microsoft Visual Studio Microsoft Visual Studio: Bringing out the Best in Multicore Systems Concurrency Runtime Deep Dive: How to Harvest Multicore Computing Resources Parallel Symposium: Addressing the Hard Problems with Concurrency Parallel Symposium: Application Opportunities and Architectures Parallel Symposium: Future of Parallel Computing Research: Concurrency Analysis Platform and Tools for Finding Concurrency Bugs The Concurrency and Coordination Runtime and Decentralized Software Services Toolkit
