Links to resources involving Jeffrey Richter

Recently, I have been involved with some videos related to threading and Windows Azure which I’d like to share with you:

I was the guest on an episode of AppFabric.TV released today! In this episode, I explain how asynchronous programming allows you to build scalable services. Watch the video here.
I recently did a Windows Azure roadshow in New York, Boston, Atlanta, and Washington, DC. The New York event was recorded and the introduction of it is available here.
Mads Torgersen of Microsoft’s Visual Studio team did a Channel 9 video discussing the new Async CTP and he mentions my involvement with it. The cideo is available here. Mads mentions me around 10 minutes into the video.

I hope you enjoy these,

The Windows Azure event is a must see for all the people that are yet new to this powerful platform.

Hi Jeffrey,
I have seen that video and its really very knowledgeable. I would like to ask a question regarding new feature Task introduced in .NET 4.0. According to your latest book CLR via C# (3rd edition) "Internally, the thread pool categorizes its threads as either worker threads or I/O threads." Now my question is, if I call WCF service all by using task, whether internally will it use worker thread or I/O thread? Will my thread pool thread block when WCF service call is made?

Many thanks,
