Guest: Ted Neward
Host: Markus
In this Episode we talk to Ted Neward. Since Ted is active in the
.NET and Java universes, we started out by discussing some of the
differences between the two platforms. The main discussion, however,
focussed on new features in the C# 3.0 language. These include
LINQ (language-integrated query). A very interesting discussion about
extension methods, lamda expression, typing (dynamic, duck, compiler)
and other language "tricks" follows. We also visited the topic of language
development on the .NET and Java platforms in general, also looking
at topics such as concurrency and the Scala language.
