This video describes the language innovations for the next version of Microsoft Visual Studio. See how the async language feature and new Microsoft .NET Framework APIs will come together to simplify asynchronous programming. No more callbacks! This is a demo-focused session where we explore a variety of asynchronous programming scenarios directly in Visual Studio. Finally, we provide a peek into future plans beyond the next release.

Hear from the C#,Visual Basic,and F# language designers themselves,about how we create the .NET Framework languages at Microsoft. Where do we get ideas? How do we incorporate new paradigms without breaking the existing languages? Where will we go in the future,and how will we get there? This video talks about all these topics and more.

C# introduced a number of language features that finally make it very easy to employ a functional style of programming. However, from the perspective of an imperative programmer, there are lots of questions surrounding functional programming. Why would I want to do it at all? Should I drop all state information in my apps? What useful functional patterns are applicable to C#?

This short tutorial shows how to write recursive functions in C#.

This video show how an existing application can be modified to move functionality into a separate assembly. Proper naming conventions will be discussed, as well as the ConfigureAwait method, which can be used to avoid unnecessary marshaling of data to the UI thread.
