.NET Framework: CLR - Under the Hood
Speaker: Jeff Richter
In this talk, software legend Jeffrey Richter will describe how the CLR works "Soup to Nuts." Learn about the CLR's execution model including intermediate language, verification, JIT compilation, metadata, and assembly loading. Explore the runtime relationship between code, types, objects. A thread's stack, and the heap. See how the CLR's garbage collector knows what objects are in use and what objects are not in use so that unused objects can have their memory reclaimed. After this talk, you'll have a great understanding of how the CLR does the things it does.
