AXUM PART THREE

Axum really shows us the future of what asynchronous and parallel programming is and could be..

Enter the Visual Studio Async CTP

The new visual studio async ctp provides many of the concepts provided by the DevLabs Axum project.. Personally I hope Microsoft completely implements everything present in Axum. In fact I wish they had just brought over the Axum name and the whole project capabilities over in the first place as it would be nice to see Microsoft picking it as a cool name.. In this crazy market sometimes this is an advantage..

There is also a TPL Dataflow library for building concurrent applications. It promotes actor/agent-oriented designs through primitives for in-process message passing, dataflow, and pipelining.

Obviously as we seen with Axum there will have to be some changes to how work within the C# language..  Below are the changes, you will see many of them in-line with what we learned in earlier in our Axum exploration..
