A few links:
Announcement of CTP on Somasegar’s blog
MSDN article on Task Parallel Library
Joe Duffy – concurrent programming blog
Interesting note in Duffy’s blog about PDC 07 (the one that never was):
Note: some might wonder why we released the articles before the CTP was actually online. When we originally put the articles in the magazine’s pipeline, our intent was that they would in fact line up. And both were meant to align with PDC’07. But when PDC was canceled, we also delayed our CTP so that we had more time to make progress on things that would have otherwise been cut.
Concurrency is a big deal; it’s good to see more library support.
