September 12th: Exploring the possibilities of the Roslyn CTP

Topic

Since last year’s Build conference, .Net Developers have been inundated with new information about things like Windows 8, Visual Studio 11, the open sourcing of the ASP.NET Web Stack, etc.  One could be forgiven for sleeping on the C#/VB team’s Compiler as a Service effort, dubbed “Roslyn”, or for not downloading the Roslyn Community Technology Previews.  In this session, we will check out some of the interesting features already provided by the Roslyn June 2012 CTP, explore what the current APIs have to offer, and discuss what possibilities might be in store for the future of C# and VB.NET development.
