Microsoft Compiler Dev Lab

I am over at Microsoft in Redmond attending a Compiler Dev lab.
Compiler developers for all sorts of interesting compilers are here producing Cobol, RPG, Eifel, Delphi and others.

The event is run under NDA, so there is unfortunately a large number of ommisions.

John Gough provided an overview of producing your first CLR compiler,
I have seen John Gough present before and I have read the book (no tee shirt just yet).
The presentation was very well done and he managed to cover a lot of material,
If you are interested in compilers in .NET read his book.

Jim Millar presented the "Rules of the CLS" which was a fully interactive
discussion on the published rules of the CLS. Members of several teams at
Microsoft CLR, Visual Basic, C# and C++ all contributed to the discussion :)
