Feed Description: .NET and Software Development from an experienced perspective - .NET/CLR, Rotor, Interop, MC+/C++, COM+, ES, Mac OS X, Extreme Programming and More!
Thom has done his usual fantastic job with the home of the Code Camps; Code Camp IV is this weekend with 75+ sessions!! Will you be there? Did we mention all of this and it's free?! I'm doing all different things this time; NO CLR Internals, no COM Interop, none of that stuff. I wanted to do stuff that I am currently doing in my life, have fun and do what no one else was doing so I stretched out a bit. I am doing 4 sessions and also partnering with my good friend and SOA/Indigo authority, Michael Stiefel , on a discussion called “Practical Indigo”. Here are my four sessions:
Session 1: Level 400 How Agile is MSF-Agile and VSTS?
Abstract: Ever since its creation in the early 90’s with Extreme Programming, Agile methodologies have become the methodology of choice for most programmers. VSTS takes a huge step forward by supporting Team development including process guidance with MSF-Agile as its default software methodology. But with daily use, many Agile developers are asking “How Agile is this really?” With this session, a creating member of Extreme Programming will examine Agile practices, what MSF-Agile provides out of the box, and then look at you can address the difficult areas of TDD and Continuous Integration, where VSTS and MSF-Agile fall somewhat short.
Session 2: Level 300 VSTS for Architects: DSI, SDM and the Whitehorse Designers
There is a lot VSTS Team Architect Edition offers long-suffering Microsoft Infrastructure and Solution Architects. We will begin with an overview of DSM and the SDM Model that underlies Whitehorse and how it differs greatly from UML Modeling. From there, we will use the Distributed System Designers (Code-named Whitehorse) to design an SOA based Indigo Service
Session 3: Level 400 Creating Advanced SOA Services with Indigo on Windows Vista
Building on sessions such as Michael Stiffel’s “Windows Communications Foundation aka Indigo and Service Oriented Architecture (SOA)”, this session by an Indigo Insider and Software Design Reviewer, will delve into advanced Indigo SOA services using the added facilities available using Windows Vista. This is an advanced session and assumes prior Indigo and WSE knowledge.
Many developers assume wireless will be everywhere enabling applications to communicate to centrally located servers regardless of where the user is.Any developer that has actually tried deploying connected applications knows that this is really just a dream of an alternate universe that simply frustrates users with reality.Users want their applications to just work and their data to be available even if the network isn’t.Custom applications require data and application updates to be constantly verified.Users shouldn’t have to press a button or manually switch from local to remote modes.In this session we’ll demonstrate how to build an Outlook 2003 style application that synchronizes data asynchronously when the network is available as well as checking for application updates. Using Visual Studio 2005 (Whidbey), we’ll cover how to use ClickOnce background sync API’s to constantly check for application updates so users don’t have to restart their application just to find out they have updates. We’ll cover synching technologies available using SQL Mobile for the Tablet PC and merge replication available for SQL Express as well as SQL Mobile.Empower your users with Smart Client Applications that work where the user is, not where the network may be. NOTE: NOTE THIS IS NOT A MOBILE TALK!!
