.NET 2.0 is chock full of new features that advanced developers can take advantage of and run with: debugger visualizers for controlling how data is viewed and rendered in a debugger, attributes to better control serialization, custom iterators (in C# 2.0) and anonymous methods for creating custom collections with multiple forms of iteration, and new trace listeners—just to name a few. Richard examines a wide-reaching number of these new features, how they work, and how you can start leveraging them right away. He'll also look at the new disjunctive security demands, the Friend Assembly mechanism, and other new services that you might have thought were specific to a given managed language but are in fact available to everyone.

Linear Support Vector Regression from Scratch Using C# with Evolutionary Training

Dr. James McCaffrey from Microsoft Research presents a complete end-to-end demonstration of the linear support vector regression (linear SVR) technique, where the goal is to predict a single numeric value. A linear SVR model uses an unusual error/loss function and cannot be trained using standard simple techniques, and so evolutionary optimization training is used.
Low-Code Report Says AI Will Enhance, Not Replace DIY Dev Tools

Along with replacing software developers and possibly killing humanity, advanced AI is seen by many as a death knell for the do-it-yourself, low-code/no-code tooling industry, but a new report belies that notion.
