A book, an article, a blog post … but a good lesson is something you cannot miss!
Here is Miguel Castro sessions, last NDC 2012: Extending XAML To Overcome Pretty Much Any Limitation.
2nd part is about Blend behavious and Markup extensions,
to me the most interesting 😉
Just a helpfull example: ContentMargin attached property (thanks to Steven Hollidge). 😉

Again, another video from NDC 2012 by Shay Friedman.
This time it’s an intro video about .NET Fw 4 regardind: dynamic (AND ExpandoObject, DynamicObject), Dynamic Language DLR and integration with Iron*, Roslyn.
All these things in 1hr video, plus QA section. 🙂

From Rx web site:
The Reactive Extensions (Rx) is a library to compose asynchronous and event-based programs using observable collections and LINQ-style query operators.
Paull Betts introduce Rx (with Linq) as a new tool for developers, a library available via NuGet (here) and the power of IObservable<T>+ Linq. 🙂

C# 5.0 in a Nutshell by Joseph Albahari and Ben Albahari
When you have a question about C# 5.0 or the .NET CLR, this bestselling guide has precisely the answers you need. Uniquely organized around concepts and use cases, this updated fifth edition features a reorganized section on concurrency, threading, and parallel programming—including in-depth coverage of C# 5.0’s new asynchronous functions.
Shaped by more than 20 expert reviewers, including Microsoft’s Eric Lippert, Stephen Toub, Chris Burrows, and Jon Skeet, this book has all you need to stay on track with C# 5.0. It’s widely known as the definitive reference on the language.
- Get up to speed on C# language basics, including syntax, types, and variables
- Explore advanced topics such as unsafe code and type variance
- Dig deep into LINQ via three chapters dedicated to the topic
- Learn about code contracts, dynamic programming, and parallel programming
- Work with .NET features, including reflection, assemblies, memory management, security, I/O, XML, collections, networking, and native interoperability
Thanks to AlessandroM for pointing my attention to this book.
I’ve read only few chapters (see post title) so far, it provided precious info regarding threading-asynchrony-parallell and helped clearing my mind.
I must read more from this book, definitely! 😉
Guess what I could tell you? accattatevillo !!! 😉

In this 2nd video, Lucian goes deeper with pattern and anti-pattern, fire-and-forget, IProgress, performance (async vs sync), introducting async in sync programming, and lot of other interesting stuff … helping in the next step with async programming.
A hint: first example is about IProgress, a helpfull and easy way to code decoupling, expecially in UI developments.
Better not miss it! 😉
