Resources for MSDN Roadshow – Parallel Computing

In November and December 2009 I presented on Parallel Computing in the .NET Framework. Here are the resources for that event.

Downloads

• Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2 and .NET Framework Beta 2 downloads - https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vstudio/dd582936.aspx
  • Note: Since the Parallel Extensions will be a part of the .NET Framework 4.0, the version for .NET 3.5 is no longer available. It had only made it to CTP status anyway, not a full supported release. For an unsupported release of Parallel Extensions compatible with the .NET Framework 3.5 SP1, please see the Reactive Extensions release on DevLabs at https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/devlabs/ee794896.aspx.)
