MSDN Webcast: Language Design: Helping Programmers Program Better (Level 300)
One of the greatest challenges programmers face is translating the concepts in their head into a form that is suitable for a machine to execute. When designing programming languages there is a natural tension between what the machine can do and what a human can comprehend, a tension between program efficiency and programmer productivity. This webcast will discuss various advancements in programming languages geared towards simplifying the development of three-tier distributed and data intensive applications. In particular we will concentrate on ways to bridge the impedance mismatches between objects, relation data, and XML and the importance of dynamism in this trend.

Presenter: Erik Meijer, Technical Lead, Microsoft Corporation
