The Way of the Whiteboard, Modern Hardware, Writing DSLs with LINQ and Component Relationships
- The Way of the Whiteboard: Persuading with Pictures: A enlightening and wonderful talk about explaining stuff with pictures. The advices in this talk do not only apply to every area. Watch it. There’s actually a predecessor talk here, with very similar content. His book is on my ‘to-buy’-list. =)
- In the presentation ‘Not Your Father’s Von Neumann Machine: A Crash Course in Modern Hardware’ Cliff Click explains how modern hardware works. I recommend it to anyone who’s concerned about performance. The basic key message is that modern hardware is extremely complex so that it’s nearly impossible to reason about performance. And that cache-misses dominate the performance of the CPU.
- Nicholas Blumhardt shows a beautiful way to create small external domain specific language using LINQ-expression.
