The .NET team presents multithreaded MSBuild as a new execution mode for improving build performance. The session focuses on trying it out and preparing projects and tools to take advantage of multithreaded execution.

Multithreaded builds and the development loop

Builds run frequently during development, so reducing build time can shorten the wait between making a change and checking its results. Multithreaded MSBuild offers a way to improve that feedback loop.

The video covers three areas:

Trying the new execution mode: How to get started with multithreaded builds.
Understanding the impact on existing builds: What the execution mode means for current build workflows.
Preparing projects and tools: How to make them ready to take advantage of multithreaded execution.
