Joe gave an informative and practical presentation on the new aync and parallel features available in .NET 4. Following some concept slides, we jumped straight into the code. Using a dataset from a popular NetFlix's contest, Joe showed several different ways to parse through the set, and the various improvements that could be made when using the parallelism built into .NET 4.

One of the real highlights of the night was that Joe had similar solutions coded  using C# (imperative), F# (functional), and LINQ (declarative) so that we could not only see the code for solving the problem, but the performance differences of each approach.
