MADdotNET March Presentation Meeting

"Managing the .NET Compiler"

-- by Jason Bock --

With the public release of Project Roslyn, Microsoft has finally let .NET developers get access to their long-awaited compiler APIs. The potential impact of having a compiler API available for all developers is immense. In this session, you'll get a tour of the elements behind this new API, such as syntax trees and engines, and how you can use them in code analysis and metaprogramming techniques.
