VL Concepts and Patterns II

Who was the target audience of the workshop?
Everybody who wanted to benefit from VL features in their daily work. Ideally you opened VL before and know the basic mouse clicks as well as most of the theory of part I.

What did attendees of the workshop learn?
In contrast to the workshop VL for vvvv users that explained how you benefit from your vvvv knowlege in VL, here we dove into new features of VL that extend the possibilities and make many problems easy to handle. The workshop consisted of small independent examples that explain a certain VL feature or patching pattern.

We focused on:

• Adaptive and generic nodes
• Collections beyond Spread and LINQ
• Delegates, sending operations over links
• Define your own regions
• Event handling and multi-threading with observables
• Handle large data sets efficiently
• Upcoming features

The topics started with a quick explanation/demo and continued with example patches we created together. In the process we learned

• The motivation for using a certain VL feature or node set
• Patching patterns, tips and tricks
