Quotes by Anders Hejlsberg

“With a lot of programs today, youre not only saying what you want the program to do, you are saying in painful detail how you want it done. The way we get to take advantage of all of the progress in CPUs and memory is offloading some of that how to to the infrastructure.”

“The dream is to have a single programming model,”

“You can query pretty much anything. LINQ works with any collection you have in the .Net Framework today. Its a single programming model for data where the things you know in this domain just magically apply for another domain.”

“My particular interest for the past couple of years has been to really think deeply about the big impedance mismatch we have between programming languages, C# in particular, and the database world, like SQL?or, for that matter, the XML world, like XQuery and those languages that exist.”

“I absolutely think it will, because it makes .Net a more appealing proposition.”

“The .NET framework was built really to support XML Web services.”

“We know that our underlying technology was not rich enough, ... It was not a particularly friendly world to program in.”

“Your choice of programming model also is your choice of programming model, so to speak.”

“If you dont handle them, we shut your application down. That dramatically increases the reliability of the system.”

“Not only does this scenario require familiarity with several programming languages, but it also requires a mastery of the application programming interfaces that bridge the different domains, such as ADO.NET or Open DataBase Connectivity (ODBC).”
