Familiarity with code generation tools is key for modern software engineers, and whether you know it or not, you’re probably already using one. In T4 Succinctly by Nick Harrison, you’ll learn what goes on behind the scenes during code generation with T4, Visual Studio’s built-in code generator. Then, use those principles to apply metadata to a template and transform it into source code in a variety of languages. 

WebGL is an in-browser 3D renderer based on OpenGL, which lets you display your 3D content directly into an HTML5 page. Throughout this series I will cover all the essentials you need to get started using this framework. We'll start with an introduction, then we'll be building on to the framework that we used in part one as well as adding a model importer and a custom class for 3D objects. You will also be introduced to animation and controls. Lastly, we’ll take a look at lighting and adding 2D objects to your scene. 

What is concurrent programing? Simply described, it’s when you are doing more than one thing at the same time. Not to be confused with parallelism, concurrency is when multiple sequences of operations are run in overlapping periods of time. In the realm of programming, concurrency is a pretty complex subject. Dealing with constructs such as threads and locks and avoiding issues like race conditions and deadlocks can be quite cumbersome, making concurrent programs difficult to write. Through concurrency, programs can be designed as independent processes working together in a specific composition. Such a structure may or may not be made parallel; however, achieving such a structure in your program offers numerous advantages.
