.NET 2.0 user group talk. Pleasanton, CA. Feb 16

[Jon Shemitz]

Theoretically, my long-delayed .NET 2.0 book
(<http://www.midnightbeach.com/dotnet>) will be DONE and handed off to
the copy editor by Jan 31. My shoulder's giving me trouble and I might
miss that date by a day or three, but it's finally nearly done.

In any event, as part of the "book tour", I'll be giving a talk at
eBig, in Pleasanton, CA on Feb 16. As per
<http://www.midnightbeach.com/eBig.2006.html>:

Now that .NET 2.0 is out of beta, we can use the new
features in production code. I will survey 2.0 features and
talk about how they can be used in real programs. Open types
can make code both smaller and faster. Anonymous methods make
your code smaller and clearer. Iterators make it much easier
to enumerate nested data structures. If there's enough time,
I will also talk a bit about the existing .NET asynch features
- particularly the system thread pool, and asynch invocation
of delegates.

Should be a good talk - just ask anyone who's been to one of my talks.
(Anyone interested in meeting me in Milpitas for dinner ahead of time
should contact me via email.)
