Doing More with Less (PLINQ)

Have you ever wanted to code less and get more work done? Wouldn't it be cool if the tools we used just understood what we wanted to do and then adapted to the runtime environment to get the work done as efficiently as possible? With the increase in the number of cores on a processor it is becoming more important to take advantage of the available resources; however, coding for the various runtime scenarios can be quite painful. Tools like Parallel LINQ (PLINQ) can let developers provide the declarative instructions for an operation and the tool can determine how best to use the available processor cores. Come see an introduction to PLINQ and see how you can get more work done with less code.
