During his tech session on Wednesday at Microsoft Tech-Ed Europe 2009 Rami Radi from Intel showed a very compelling demonstration how Intel's sampling and profiling tool VTune Performance Analyzer can help .NET developers to multi-thread their applications in order to make them run faster on multicore machines. So we asked Rami to show us this [...]
The first session during Day Four at Microsoft Tech-Ed Europe 2009 was held by Ralf Westphal, a German software developer, speaker, expert, whatever. He is a real good guy who knows a lot about (parallel) programming topics. So it was no surprise that he talked about asynchronous parallel programming in a very lively and comprehensive manner. His [...]
Ever wonder what would happen if you gathered your community's most wild & crazy (and influential!) developers together and let them present whatever they want for 5-minutes in front of a large audience? We'll be finding out on November 11 @ 6PM at the second Developer Ignite event in Gilbert, AZ! From Javascript to crowdsourcing, GPS to database [...]
Now I know at least what "Birds-of-a-feather" discussion means: many interested people come together in a medium sized room, listening to a well-educated guy talking about his favorite topic. And right after the start of the session there is a lively discussion going on where you hear a lot of new and some known things. That's [...]
Day three of Microsoft Tech-Ed Europe 2009 started with Rami Radi's very informative and technical session where he talked about Windows 7, .NET 4 and the question how .NET developers can benefit from multicore platforms. Rami is working as a software engineer at Intel and helps ISVs optimizing their applications to run best on multicore sytems. First of [...]
Exactely at 4:30 p.m. at Day One during Microsoft Tech-Ed Europe 2009 Ralph de Wargny from Intel entered the stage and told the audience in 15 minutes important facts about Intel Parallel Studio which helps native coder parallelizing and optimizing their multihreaded code. But what we learnt today: Parallel Studio is suitable for serial coded [...]
This morning I attended Steve Teixeira's tech session where he talked about parallel computing in general and about .NET 4 in particular. And as usual it was really informative what Steve had to tell us about thread pools, thread stealing, thread save parallel code and much more. For all you who haven't followed my twitter [...]
The NAGFO Gaming and Animation Summit was a huge success especially, day 2 of the conference focused on Game Development. Targeted at game developers rather than decision makers this daylong conference was attended by 200 plus game developers and is a first for NAGFO. The highlight of the event was the keynote by Ernest Adams, [...]
So, it's Sunday morning, and I'm nearly on my way to Berlin as I'm going to travel to Microsoft's huge developer & IT conference Microsoft Tech-Ed Europe 2009. There I will video blog together with Tom Papadhimas and some Intel folks about the interesting topics concerning parallel programming, multi-core and other stuff. And this will [...]
If you look at the Microsoft's Tech-Ed web page you'll find out that there's a lot of things which are parallel. For instance all the different tech session run in parallel so that as much as possible topics can be covered during Tech-Ed. But also the huge showcase is somehow parallel: there are many companies [...]
Hi All, If you are going to the event next week in Berlin then let me know about it. Maybe we can meet face to face and if there are enough of us perhaps even a gourp community meeting. This can be a good opportunity to meet the experts. In any case, you are all welcome to [...]
As I wrote in my yesterday's blog post we will be at Microsoft's developer conference Tech-Ed Euirope 2009 which will take place in Berlin this year. Fortunately at the same time the whole city will celebrate the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Wall. So there will be a few people in Berlin during [...]

This year one complete day has been dedicated to Game Developers with multiple sessions focusing on various aspects of game development. The event [...]
Once a year software engineers and business folks from all over Europe (and beyond) come together at Microsoft's huge event Tech-Ed Europe, which will take place in Berlin this year (last year it was at beautiful Barcelona, Catalonia). And as last year we will be at Tech-Ed this year once again, fully packed with lots of [...]
