February Beantown .Net
Jason is doing his disassembly talk this month. Was a really cool talk when I saw it at the Code Camp and it sounds like he has updated it some.
Jason Haley: Practical Disassembling
When: Thursday February 2, 2005, 5:30 – 7:30pm
Where: Addesso Systems,
One Liberty Square
, 7th Floor, Boston, MA
All are welcome, but please (RSVP) if you want free pizza!
Talk SummaryDid you use to take things apart just to figure out what they were made up of and how they worked? In this talk we will learn some ways to disassemble .Net assemblies in order to see what they are under the hood and how they work.
First we will take a look at what disassembling is and why you should care as a developer (ie. usefulness of learning, debugging, fine tuning and concerns about intellectual property), then we will move on to some practical examples of how you can use Reflector (and its add-ins) and DILE (Dotnet IL Editor) to help you better understand how .Net works and what it is made of. By the end of the talk you will be familiar with a few tools that you can use to satisfy that natural curiosity of tearing things apart to learn more about them.
