Tutorial: The Memstate Tutorial

A SkillsCast for this session is not available.

Memstate introduces a radically different approach to managing state. Traditional applications pull in some data from the database, translate to internal types and structures, manipulate, translate back and save any changes made to the database. In a Memstate application, the data and code exist together in the same process all defined in whatever high-level .NET language you prefer. The Memstate runtime will provide transparent persistence and strong consistency guarantees and lets you focus on what matters most.

Contents:
