Behind the Code with Anders Hejlsberg

[@youreale]

Anders deserve all my respect as developer. This interview was very inspiring.

[@focl2003]

After a year, I see this message again, and of course I've finished the book, thank you very much.

[@reassert]

Despite I'm not a fan of Microsoft, I must admit that C# is one of the most beautiful language in our age. Java's get and set methods are ugly at all, square brackets of Objective-C are totally mess (NOT to mention C++). Just look at how perfect of C# and LINQ working together, you'll realize Anders Hejlsberg is a pure genius.

[@DBuilder1977]

That's because you are programming in Delphi and you don't know it. If you ever get to download Delphi you will forget everything else...

[@bmanjacob]

This guy is a genius. I used to love Turbo Pascal in the 80's. Now I am a huge fan of C#. He is the man behind both these great products.

[@FrankZen]

Turbo Pascal made me truly fall in love with programming!

[@DBuilder1977]

Hi I am hoping to contact Anders Hejlsberg. I am about to publish a book on C# for music technology. Since there are many problems in downloading C# on Windows platforms, I plan to include this language on a CD in my book. Purchasers of the book then avoid problems downloading : it instals easily from CD. Where may I acquire a copy of C# on CD since the language is absend from bookshops and magazines? Does anyone know where I may contact the Danish man? John Reilly

It's wonderful to look back at this and see they were thinking about LINQ at 44:03 without letting the cat out of the bag, but then at 46:30, he specifically mentions it. LINQ is the BEST!

[@nelrosell1]

nice to hear these inspiring words from pure genius and humble creature

[@focl2003]

Could you recommend some excellent material to learn linq?, I'd really appreciate it.

[@BinaryReader]

Anders is awesome, kudos to this man.

[@rajeemcariazo]

Long Live Delphi

[@AnirudhaGohokar]

@assignmentsjohn wow..book on music technology tht to wid c#... when r u releasing this book..

[@focl2003]

Fortunately for us.

[@ITVMaudlin]

Absolute Genuis.

[@FrankZen]

Delphi is probably one of the greatest IDEs ever created! I miss it so much! Too bad I can't justify $3k for Embarcadero...

[@DBuilder1977]

What do you mean miss it? It's still alive and still best tool you will ever come across. Download the Community Edition, it's free and has everything the professional version in it.

[@MarcosIturribeitia]

I think he is applying evolutionary behaviors and actions in his programing languages architecting producing mutations that at the end create the most adapted to the environment of the developers.

[@geezerdombroadcast]

I'm sure this has occurred to many of the viewers here, that the process of evolution has reached yet another point, of what biologists refer to as (punctuated equilibrium); if I have used the term correctly. It's is a critical stage in the long history of evolution where (emergent environmental, selective factors) cause an accelerated divergence within a species population leading to the development of new sub-species, and perhaps to the demise of one, or the other. It's as if the expression of particular genes in computer geeks is not expressed outside the group of individuals from silicon valley IE. I get the distinct feeling that i'm stranded on an ever shrinking desert island of neanderthal like creatures unable to adapt to the capabilities of the divergent species working with areas of the brain that have become atrophied, to the point of vestigiality or non existence in my lineage, and certainly as an individual. Despite my great personal strides in other areas of learning and science, i'm completely unable to fathom, comprehend, or divine the slightest understanding or functionality in the area of code. I shall go to the grave witnessing the demise of my species to be replaced by billionaires with bandaids on their glasses.

[@eomonc]

personal hero.

[@FlashManinSpace]

C#?? Why not D flat? lel.

[@wer4t4t]

awesome

[@1stUniqueName]

If .Net was so great, why it needed soooooooooooo many years to take off, while Pascal/Delphi took of literally in the same month when it was lunched?

[@rebiiin]

Hello C# Father :)

[@AnirudhaGohokar]

y these genius dont even graduate..

[@MarcosIturribeitia]

That's why he is a genius and creator not a follower or implementer.

[@paulfunigga]

Mr. Hejlsberg*

[@protaties]

4 Java Supremacists dislike this video.

[@FrankZen]

As a Java developer, I can readily say that C# is a better Java than Java!

[@FrankZen]

My girl is smitten lol

[@MarcosSoares2009]

Borland, Inprise, Codegear, Embarcadero, Microfocus..... as Andres said, they really lost the focus!

[@DBuilder1977]

Don't think so. Delphi is still top notch, you don't want to download Delphi because you will feel miserable in Microsoft studio. The one that has lost it is Microsoft (which never had it anyway): no proper two way visual editor (you write all the UI in XAML), no single project multiple targets (OSs) philosophy like in Delphi. Imagine your .exe for windows under Delphi is still all-in-one AND it runs on the GPU from the get go...
