Not just downloads• Documentation• Articles• Sample Code• Specialty sites • ASP.NET • Silverlight.net • WindowsClient.net• And much more!A Quick Word About MSDN

The Future

Soon, Very Soon.

BASE CLASS LIBRARIES(BCL) IMPROVEMENTS IN .NET4.X

 Set of public types and APIs System.Threading System.Threading.Tasks// Sequentialforeach (var item in sourceCollection){ Process(item);}// ParallelParallel.ForEach(sourceCollection, item =>Process(item)); Task Parallel Library (TPL)

 Implements the full set of LINQ standard query operators Extension methods for the IParallelEnumerable interface Additional operators for parallel operationsfrom n innames.AsParallel().WithDegreeOfParallelism(ProcessorsToUse.Value)where n.Name.Equals(queryInfo.Name, StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase) && n.State == queryInfo.State && n.Year >= yearStart && n.Year <= yearEnd orderby n.Year ascending select n; Parallel LINQ (PLINQ)

• System.Diagnostics.Contracts• Code Contracts introduce a way to specify contractual information that is not represented by a method or type’s signature alone• Scenarios for using contracts include: • Perform static bug finding, which enables some bugs to be found without executing the code • Create guidance for automated testing tools to enhance test coverage • Create a standard notation for code behavior, which provides more information for documentation Design By Contract

• BigInteger • Immutable type that represents an arbitrarily large integer whose value in theory has no upper or lower bounds• SortedSet<T> • Provides a self-balancing tree that maintains data in sorted order after insertions, deletions, and searches Data Types

• Memory-Mapped File • Used to edit very large files and to create shared memory for inter-process communication• Stream.CopyTo • Allows you to copy the contents of one stream into anotherI/O

EHANCEMENTS TOPROGRAMMING LANGUAGESIN .NET 4.X

• Auto-Implemented Properties • Shortened syntax that enables you to quickly specify a property of a class without having to write code• Collection Initializer • Shortened syntax that enables you to create a collection and populate it with an initial set of values• Implicit Line Continuation • Enables you to continue a statement on the next consecutive line without using the underscore characterVisual Basic

• Dynamic Type • Operations that contain expressions of type dynamic are not resolved or type ch`ecked by the compiler. The compiler packages together information about the operation, and that information is later used to evaluate the operation at run time• Optional and Named Parameters • Named arguments enable you to specify an argument for a particular parameter by associating the argument with the parameters name rather than with the parameters position in the parameter list. • Optional arguments enable you to omit arguments for some parameters. Both techniques can be used with methods, indexers, constructors, and delegates. C#

• You can configure restart manager to autosave documents and restart your application after it exits unexpectedly• Lambda expressions are available in C++• The new CTaskDialog replaces the standard Windows message box and adds functionality to display and gather more informationC++

• IDE support for F#• Interactive F# for prototyping code• Asynchronous constructs• Parallel constructs• Immutable data typesF#

Web Client Development

But What About?

I <3 Silverlight!

• Blue Angels Web Site • http://blueangels.navy.milYou Can Use Them Both

Looking Forward

Web Platform Installer Ajax Control Toolkit & jQuery ASP.NET ADO.NET Entity Framework SQL Server IISThe Microsoft Web Platform combines a rich and powerful webapplication framework with a supporting cast oftools, servers, technologies and applications forcreating, designing, developing and delivering web solutions.The Microsoft Web Platform

I’m a professional I <3 Web Apps. I want to build web software developer and I just need a tool that sites myself with an I build complex, large makes them easier to easy to learn tool scale web sites with a configure, customize and framework team of developers and publish themToday’s Web Developers

A Free Web Dev Tool

Visual Studio 2010 WebMatrix ASP.NET Core Caching Modules Globalization Web Forms View Engine Razor View Engine Pages Controls Master Pages Profile Roles Membership ASP.NET ASP.NET ASP.NET Web Forms Intrinsics MVC Handlers Web Pages Etc.ASP.NET: A Framework For All

• Ability to set meta tags• More control over view state• Added and Updated browser definition files• ASP.NET Routing• The ability to persist selected rows in data controls• More control over rendered HTML in the FormView and ListView controls• Filtering support for data source controls ASP.NET 4 Webforms

WHAT IS MVC?

• Huge investment from Microsoft• Alternative to WebForms• Modular Architecture• MVC 3.0 now available • MVC 4 in Developer Preview stage• Razor Syntax• MVC 3.0 Tooling Updated April 2011Model-View-Controller(MVC)

Controller (Input) View Model (Presentation) (Data)ASP.NET MVC 101

• What does MVC look like? Controller Request Controller Retrieves Model “Performs Work” View Response View Visually represents the modelHow MVC Works

WHY SHOULDWE CARE ABOUTASP.NET MVCINPUBLIC SECTOR?

• Users disdain “Ugly” URLs • http://answers.usa.gov/system/selfservice.controller?CONFI GURATION=1000&PARTITION_ID=1&CMD=VIEW_A RTICLE&ARTICLE_ID=11951&USERTYPE=1&LANGU AGE=en&COUNTRY=US vs http://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/speeches-and- remarks• Search Engine Optimization (SEO) • DiscoverabilityMore Web Savvy Citizens

• Powerful, patterns-based way to build dynamic websites• Enables a clean separation of concerns• Gives you full control over markup for enjoyable, agile development.Developer Productivity

• Enable fast, TDD-friendly development for creating sophisticated applications• Separation of concerns makes for easier testingTesting

• Uses the latest web standards.• Full control over markup makes creating compliant sites easierAccessibility

• No ViewState • Smaller HTML payload • Faster downloads• HTML5 • Easy to implement eye catching graphics that leverage GPU acceleration with IE9 and IE10Performance

DEMOCreating an ASP.NET MVC 3 Project

@if (You.Understand(Razor)) { <div>Hooray!</div>}• New, Simplified View Engine• Write fewer lines of code• More natural mix code and markup• Helpers save you time• Compatible with ASP.NET Web Pages in WebMatrix • http://bit.ly/WhatIsWebMatrix Razor Syntax

Web Forms <ul> (6 markup transitions): <% for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) { %> <li><% =i %></li> <% } %> </ul> PHP <ul> <?php (2 markup transitions for ($i = 0; $i < 10; $i++) { & an echo): echo("<li>$i</li>"); } ?> </ul> Razor <ul> @for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) { (2 markup transitions): <li>@i</li> } </ul>Razor: a Cut Above the Rest

@{ var name = “John Doe”; Option 1: <div> HTML Block Your name: @name </div> } @{ var name = “John Doe”; Option 2: <text> Text Block Your name: @name </text> } Option 3: @{ var name = “John Doe”; Single line of output @: Your name: @name in markup }Easier Code to Markup Transitions

@* <div> Option 1: Hello World Markup </div> *@ @{ //var name = "John Doe”; Option 2: //@name Code } @* Option 3: @{ var name = "John Doe"; Both @name } *@Code Comments in Razor

SILVERLIGHT & WPFDEVELOPMENT

Two Platforms

WPF SilverlightSimilar But Different

Two Core One Common Technologies Language2 Platforms Powered By XAML

• Markup language derived from XML• XML serialization of CLR objects• Markup files have code-behind files • Could be C# or VB.NET• Conceptually similar to ASP.NET• X stands for Extensible • Data Binding • Styles • TemplatesIntro to XAML

<Windowxmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"xmlns:sys="clr-namespace:System;assembly=mscorlib"xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" > <Grid> <Button>Click Me!</Button> </Grid></Window> What Does XAML Look Like?

For the purposes of this talk, we’ll focus on Silverlight.1 Platform. 2 Choices.

What is Metro?

METRO IS OUR DESIGN ETROLANGUAGE. WE CALL ITMETRO BECAUSE IT’SMODERN AND CLEAN. IT’SFAST AND IN MOTION. IT’SABOUT CONTENT ANDTYPOGRAPHY. AND IT’SENTIRELY AUTHENTIC.
