Intro to .NET for Government Developers
- 1. Developing with .NET Frank La Vigne Developer Evangelist Microsoft @tableteer | [email protected] www.FranksWorld.com/blog
- 2. Not just downloads • Documentation • Articles • Sample Code • Specialty sites • ASP.NET • Silverlight.net • WindowsClient.net • And much more! A Quick Word About MSDN
- 3. The Future
- 5. • Visual Studio 2010 • Multiple versions with multiple price points • Expression Blend Nice to have tools • F12 Dev Tools • Fiddler • Silverlight Spy Tools of the Trade
- 7. Web Windows Cloud Phone Games Data Write .NET Code in All of These Environments .NET Everywhere
- 8. Win And WPF DLR ASP.NET WCF LINQ Forms more! Base Class Libraries .NET Framework Common Language Runtime Architecture JIT & Garbage Security Exception Loader & NGEN Collector Model Handling Binder .NET Architecture
- 9. BASE CLASS LIBRARIES (BCL) IMPROVEMENTS IN .NET 4.X
- 10. Set of public types and APIs System.Threading System.Threading.Tasks // Sequential foreach (var item in sourceCollection) { Process(item); } // Parallel Parallel.ForEach (sourceCollection, item => Process(item)); Task Parallel Library (TPL)
- 11. Implements the full set of LINQ standard query operators Extension methods for the IParallelEnumerable interface Additional operators for parallel operations from n in names.AsParallel().WithDegreeOfParallelism(ProcessorsT oUse.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)
- 12. • 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
- 13. • 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
- 14. • 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 another I/O
- 15. EHANCEMENTS TO PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES IN .NET 4.X
- 16. • 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 character Visual Basic
- 17. • 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 parameter's name rather than with the parameter's 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#
- 18. • 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 information C++
- 19. • IDE support for F# • Interactive F# for prototyping code • Asynchronous constructs • Parallel constructs • Immutable data types F#
- 21. But What About?
- 23. • Blue Angels Web Site • http://blueangels.navy.mil You Can Use Them Both
- 24. Looking Forward
- 26. Web Platform Installer Ajax Control Toolkit & jQuery ASP.NET ADO.NET Entity Framework SQL Server IIS The Microsoft Web Platform combines a rich and powerful web application framework with a supporting cast of tools, servers, technologies and applications for creating, designing, developing and delivering web solutions. The Microsoft Web Platform

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 them Today’s Web Developers
- 28. A Free Web Dev Tool
- 29. 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
