Ahoy!

The August 2020 Meetup of Columbus App Dev User Group is scheduled for August 17th from 6-8 PM. Instead of our usual in-person meeting @ Improving Ohio Office, we’re making our meetup virtual. Same wonderful content, awesome speaker & great interactions – just online. Please see details below & kindly RSVP.

Topic:
Demystifying the .NET Runtime

Abstract:
While most .NET developers know that .NET is an interpreted language, have you ever thought about what that really means? If the language is compiled to an intermediate language (literally called “Microsoft Intermediate Language” or MSIL) and run on a VM, how have they added more features to the language without updating the interpreter? This talks answers all these questions and more. We’ll take a deep dive into the differences between the .NET Compiler and .NET Runtime. We’ll see what’s possible in the compiler, what the runtime can do, and how you can know what’s happening where. You’ll leave this session with a deeper appreciation of the .NET languages and a clearer sense of how your code really runs.
