I got to spend 2 days with the folks from the Microsoft CLR team, but I don’t feel like I learned enough from them. Heck, I think you could lock me in a room with them for a year and I’d still come out feeling like a mushroom on the underside of a log. However, I was scanning through Kirk Allen Evans’ blog post about a conversation with the CLR team (great questions and answers, btw) when I got to the bottom. A collection of links to other people’s blog postings about their times with the CLR team. Since I’m big on writing what I think, I had to go read what other people had to say. My two favorite posts are:
But I was jealous when I got to read Joseph DeCarlo’s post about what the team talked about while they spent time with the fine development staff of Turner Broadcasting. I’d have loved to hear Jason Z. really explain generics to me (and why they’re different from C++ templates). I wanted to leave a comment on Joseph’s post asking him to give the blow-by-blow, but he appears to have comments turned off. So I’m sending him an e-mail instead.
