You've probably not heard of Volta, but you know Erik Meijer by now. We love talking to him and learning about his latest brilliant ideas. Volta is no exception to Erik and team's typical innovation. What is Volta, you ask?Volta is an evolving research project focused on exploring ways to innovate data-intensive programming models. Volta is currently exploring a lean-programming inspired toolkit for building web-based and mobile applications by stretching the .NET programming model to cover the Cloud. Volta is exploring innovation that empowers programmers to delay decisions about tier-splitting to the last possible responsible moment by using either code refactoring or declarative annotations. Volta is also innovating ideas for frictionless deployment of pure .NET-based web-based applications by using “the materials already available in the room” in the form of zero/near-zero weight client footprints. Well now, that all sounds dandy doesn't it? But, what is Volta, exactly? Who better to explain it to us than C9 regular Erik Meijer, programming language architect and computer scientist. It's always great to chat with Erik. Enjoy. This is part 2 of a 2 part series. Here, Erik continues his description of Volta, but with demos and code! See part one here.
