James Coulter
Another 'spag-tastic' session from the Coventry NxtGen gang. Two very different sessions, but both thoroughly interesting in their own way. The food this time round was much better than the previous session; hot and tasty (that was just Mike) and plenty to go round.
David Tims
Well prepared, well presented, excellent material. Edward made XNA look positively approachable!
lee Chase
One of my favourite events. Fun followed by thought provoking
Richard Hopton
Once again it's a great meeting with some really good talks. The spaghetti bolognaise was very nice and the bread was to die for.
Colin Newell
Very neat nugget. Well presented and nicely paced so that it gave a decent idea of what's possible and how easy it is (or at least looks).
Stuart Wells
Excellent - Mike was brilliant - as usual - shame he only had a hour or so. This was the first time I have been shown the .NET 4 Framework and its efforts towards concurrency - and I like what I see...tell me more.
Bob Morris
A perfect nugget in my opinion. Consise, interesting and informative.
David Matthews-Gore
Informative, cutting edge, really just what NxtGen is all about to me. Mike keeps up his (unbeatable?) track record
Raymond Starkey
Simple but powerful demonstration. Good projection and nice style.
Steven Miles
First time at the Coventry meeting. Great food. Makes a change from pizza :). Comfortable chairs and a BAR!!! Very nice venue. Well organised.
Ian Russell
More than justified the price of admission!

Event Breakdown
Mike Taulty Parallel Extensions
The next version of the .NET Framework will come with new classes that start to chip away at the difficulties in building multi-threaded applications that are well placed to take advantage of the modern multi-core processor architectures and the future many-core architectures that are coming over the next few years. In this session, we'll introduce what that Parallel Extensions are, what they can do for you and take a tour around what's available in the current previews for you to start evaluating.
