Tango Conference 2008 videos

This video covers dynamic linking in the D programming language. You'll have the unique opportunity to experience a travel through the dark, creepy seven levels of DLL hell. But be not afraid, there's a light at the end of the tunnel! D Dynamic Libraries will save you from damnation and bring a fresh breeze into the stale, static world. Ultimately, you'll be taken for a twist in lively and dynamic Tango at the highest reaches of DDL heaven*
* Batteries and shiny daemons not included.

A talk by dr Rafal Bocian from Nicolaus Copernicus University in Torun - place where the D programming language was officially thought first. Speakers talk about students reaction to the new programming language and also about the programs they had to write to pass the classes.

Rafal Bocian own wording:
" In the summer term I had a lecture (30 hours) about
the D programming language and the Tango library.
Until the 20th of September, around 100 students
passed the examination with a positive result. During my talk, I am going to present my remarks
about the most difficult and the most popular
constructs in the D language , as well as the most
useful features in the Tango library."

Stay tuned for more videos to come!

Get ready for a quick trip through the Team0xf gamedev directed libraries. See why the D programming language can be the future of the game development - how its flexibility connected with speed can really make a difference. We will abuse threads with Dog, render nice pictures with Hybrid, shock with Nucleus, do magic tricks with XPose, and make you all say OMG! If that's not enough to impress you, get ready to witness presentations of Deadlock and Defend - two Team0xf games under development - proving that the gamedev in D is a fact.

The first talk of the second day of the conference was "DReactor" by Rick Richardson.

Rick's own wording:
"If Ruby and Erlang had a child, that ghastly
abomination might look something like DReactor. It
is an attempt to offer extreme readability and
extensibility while encouraging fault tolerance and
massive scalability.Writing networked applications
is easy. Writing networked applications to support
tens of thousands concurrent users is hard. Rick will
wal k through the var ious methods of
accommodating network traffic using the Tango API.
Then will showcase the advantages of using
DReactor (built on Tango) for those chores."

D reactor surely proves the power of servers written in the D programming language

The next video from the Tango Conference is here for you. Frank Benoit concluded the first day of the conference with a lecture about his greatest child - DWT.

Frank's own wording:
"What can you do with DWT, and where will it go?
The DWT project is a port of SWT, JFace and
other parts of the Eclipse Project. The "DWT
Features" talk will focus on the non SWT part, to
show the DWT users the potential of the
advanced stuff contained in DWT. What you
really need to get your stuff done."

DWT is the most powerful gui library for the D programming language
