About Me
Hi everybody,
I'm Jason and I'm 19 years of age. I have just left school with four A-Levels and 13 GCSE's, and I am now beginning a honours degree in Computing and Mathematical Sciences (with the OU), with a view to completing a Masters in Software Development. I am also starting a new job that will get me some real world development experience. C# is my main language now, and I absolutely love it, although we mainly use VB.NET, and a business language called Progress at work.
I have been coding for about a 2.25 now, and have become very interested in OS development, and assembly language. I also enjoy learning the art Android development, when I can.
That tiny, slightly contrived (to show updating of a GUI control) method can now be called from the UI thread without making the UI unresponsive, without wastefully blocking a background thread; it can handle specific exceptions directly, it will update the GUI without cross thread communication issues, and the download can be cancelled on demand by the caller! Can you spot the differences between that and its synchronous equivalent?
