.NET Gotchas Workshop by Venkat Subramaniam: Part III
Programmers working on the .NET framework know the power and increased productivity that comes with it, says Dr. Venkat Submramaniam. Like any development, however, there are things that one should pay attention to while programming on .NET. Are there things in .NET that, if we do not pay attention to, may result in more trouble than it is worth? Find out in the third part of this 180-minute Workshop recorded at Saltmarch Media's Great Indian Developer Summit.
In this workshop, Dr. Venkat Subramaniam presents Gotchas that a developer needs to know to be productive in the .NET framework. The issues addressed include framework, language, language interoperability, COM interoperability. Most Gotchas are language independent while a few are C# or VB.NET specific.
In the summer of 2010, Dr. Venkat Subramaniam will be back at Great Indian Developer Summit to conduct focused conference sessions, a keynote and a workshop on topics ranging from F# and .NET CLR, effective Java, testing with dependencies, design patterns in Groovy and Java, Java Generics in version 1.5, functional programming to pointy haired bosses and pragmatic programmers.
