Session 1: Parallel Programming with .NET 4
Presented by: Mike Collins

I presented the first beta version of the Parallel Extensions for the .NET Framework (PFX) in our March 2008 meeting. The functionality has now become part of .NET 4.

In this meeting we'll look at the new support for parallel programming in .NET 4.
