My third day at JAOO started out with working in the eating area from 9:00 to 14:00, so i only got to attend two sessions. But atleast there was enough food at lunch. After the sessions there was a crew and speakers dinner. We got some very good food including a chili chocolate mousse, which was insanely good. It was a good way to end the conference.
Six Designs Principles Illustrated
This talk was about using some common design principles when making software. The presenter used three case studies to discuss a bunch of design principles. I liked the talk, it was interesting and presented well.
Concurrent Programming with Parallel Extensions to .NET
This talk was very interesting. It was about concurrency and how it will be handled in the .NET framework in the future. Parallel Extensions is an addition to the .NET that is currently in a beta stage. It will be a core part of .NET when the next big release will take place (C# 4.0). The talk gave rise to some thoughts about how I use for and foreach loops. For example in a typical for-loop, you specify an ordering, usually with the use of an index variable. In an foreach-loop however, you don't specify an ordering, and thus it is easier for the runtime system to run the loop concurrently.
