Tango conference 2008 - LDC

The second video I have prepared during the time I wasn't posting is the long awaited LDC presentation.

It's finally here! Probably the most anticipated talk of the first Tango Conference. See what Tomas Lindquist Olsen and Christian Kamm had to say about the exciting LDC project (or as it was called before, LLVMDC).

The new D1 compiler based on the strong fundament of LLVM, the DMD frontend and the Tango runtime is maturing rapidly. We'll take a brief look at LLVM, report on LLVMDC's status and discuss the future of the project.

Tango conference 2008 - Rolling Dice Testing

OHai D community! Sorry for not giving any signs of life for so long but new job made me all occupied and I had little time to do anything else. But here I am - back with bunch of goodies.

Get ready for another video from the First Tango Conference. This time it's dr Fawzi Mohamed rocking and rolling the place!



Testing is not something that you that you want to leave to chance... or is it? In this talk it will be shown how to simplify the tedious work of writing test cases by generating randomly lots of instances of a given test, and so write comprehensive test suites with little code. This approach has allowed the quick development of a multidimensional array library.

Tango conference 2008 - DDL talk

One of the most interesting speeches from the conference. h3 form team0xf told about ddl and his modifications to this great tool. You have to see it.


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.

Tango conference 2008 - teaching D talk

New video from the conference. On that speech doctor from our university shared the expiriances related with teaching D.



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!

Tango conference 2008 - team0xf talk video

Second talk of the second day of the First Tango Conference performed by US - your dear team0xf ;) h3r3tic and I told about team0xf projects and why you should use some of them in your gamedev (and more) projects.




"Get ready for a quick trip through the Team0xf
gamedev directed libraries. See why D 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."

Tango conference 2008 - DReactor talk video

First talk of the second day of the Tango Conference was about DReactor. It was given by project author Rick Richardson. What should be mentioned lot's of practical code was shown on this presentation. Also this is the first presentation we filmed in the way that you will see everything happening on the projector screen.



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."

Tango conference 2008 - DWT talk video

It's been a while but I was really busy last weeks... Not that I have much time now, but I managed to get some time for some editing. So here it is DWT talk by Frank Benoit who concluded the first day of the conference.

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."
