SEVDNUG January 2013 Meeting - iOS Programming for .NET Developers

sevdnugsf — Fri, 21 Dec 2012 00:00:00 GMT

"Are you just a .NET developer, or are you a pragmatic software developer who currently specializes in .NET? If the latter, you should attend Josh Smith’s presentation where he explains iOS programming by relating it to .NET programming. He can help you get started doing mobile development with a crash course in the most popular mobile platform in existence. No, not Windows Phone 7.

Josh Smith was a Microsoft MVP for four years, thanks to his written and technical contributions in the Client App Development space. In 2010 he made the jump to writing complex iOS apps for large companies, as well as a few side projects, and never looked back. He enjoys iOS programming so much that he decided to help other .NET devs make the transition by self-publishing a book titled ‘iOS Programming for .NET Developers’ (http://iosfordotnetdevs.com)."

SEVDNUG May 2013 Meeting - Aspect Oriented Programming and you

sevdnugsf — Fri, 21 Dec 2012 00:00:00 GMT

Stop wasting time writing unnecessary code and start focusing on the code that really matters. Aspect Oriented Programming keeps us DRY, reduces development and testing time by handling cross cutting "boiler plate" code.

You may have heard about AOP and how it's great for logging. Sure, it's great for logging. But what you haven't heard is the tremendous power it gives you over your code.

What you haven't heard is how is will reduce your LOC, reduce complexity and increase reusability How does automating the implementation of several well known design patterns such as INotifyPropertyChanged sound to you? Never bother writing that code ever again!

How about retro actively applying aspects to legacy projects with a single line of code?

In this session, you'll learn how to take advantage of AOP to make your life better and I'll even show you a capability of AOP that will blow your mind!

About me

I am a Microsoft C# MVP and AOP advocate. During the day I'm a code mercenary for hire and at night I produce training videos for PluralSight.com. You can usually find me at code camps and user groups all over Southern California.

SEVDNUG April 2013 Meeting - Async Talk

sevdnugsf — Fri, 21 Dec 2012 00:00:00 GMT

Let's look both at asynchrony in general and applying async concepts in .net. We'll look at the async and await keywords in .net 4.5, appropriate uses of threads, Task Parallel Library and TPL DataFlow, and a foundational discussion on the terms and techniques involved.

SEVDNUG June 2013 Meeting - RavenDB 2.0 – Painless NoSQL for the .Net Developer

sevdnugsf — Fri, 21 Dec 2012 00:00:00 GMT

Have you wanted to break in to NoSQL but were intimidated by other options? Do you think scalable multi-entity transactions are not possible without a full RDBMS like SQL Server? Fed up with the mapping overhead that comes with ORMs like Entity Framework? Come take a closer look at RavenDB. This next-generation document database was designed specifically with .Net developers in mind. Learn how easy it is to use to add a schemaless, structured data store to your .Net applications.

No prior knowledge of RavenDB or NoSQL is required, but you should have familiarity with C# and general application development. This will be a fast-paced discussion with lots of real code examples. We will cover the following areas, starting from the basic, and moving towards the advanced. There should be something for everyone.

Document / Entity modeling considerations
Basic usage of Raven’s LINQ API
Full-Text analyzed searches
Using Map / Reduce indexes
Indexing related documents (pseudo-JOIN operations)
Update patching via JavaScript
Real-Time Change Notification
Replicating data to a SQL Server
Geo-Spatial Search (distance, proximity, polygons, etc.)
Using RavenDB in a web application
Embedding RavenDB in a desktop application
Indexing Word and PDF attachment contents
Temporal Data Versioning

SEVDNUG February 2013 Meeting - Building Web Applications Using Kendo UI and the MVVM Pattern

sevdnugsf — Fri, 21 Dec 2012 00:00:00 GMT

XAML developers love the Model-View View-Model (MVVM) pattern. Kendo UI is a JavaScript framework that enables this pattern for web based applications. It takes the client side coding model developers are familiar with and provides it to the web world. This talk will define the MVVM pattern and the benefits of using it. It will also show how you can use Kendo UI and ASP.NET to build responsive, robust applications that feel like desktop applications.Objectives/Outcomes:

The MVVM Pattern
Kendo UI and why to use it
How to wire up Kendo UI and ASP.NET

SEVDNUG March 2013 Meeting - Data Binding Improvements in ASP.NET 4.5

sevdnugsf — Fri, 21 Dec 2012 00:00:00 GMT

In this session, we will walkthrough all of the new features added to ASP.NET 4.5 with respect to data binding and control validation.

In ASP.NET 4.5, Web Forms includes some improvements for working with data. The first improvement is strongly typed data controls. The second improvement is model binding which extends data binding in ASP.NET Web Forms controls to work with code-focused data access. It incorporates concepts from the ObjectDataSource control and from model binding in ASP.NET MVC.

State of .NET - The Road to Windows 8

sevdnugsf — Tue, 25 Oct 2011 00:00:00 GMT

Where: Microsoft Phoenix Office, 60 E Rio Salado Parkway, Suite 1200, Tempe, AZ 85281

When: Monday, November 14, 2011 - 1:30 - 4:30 PM
Signup for this FREE event in Phoenix

The industry is in a state of flux. What does that mean for your software projects today and tomorrow? Will your skills be outdated? Will your current investment become obsolete? What should you focus on right now? And what will become important a year or two down the road? Will there be .NET in the future? And what other technologies do you need to learn?

This free event attempts to answer these questions and more, by taking an unbiased look at current and future development with .NET and other relevant Microsoft technologies. This includes Visual Studio 2010 technologies as well as an in-depth look at what is coming in the next version of Visual Studio (“VS11”) and Windows 8.

Join Markus Egger, Microsoft RD and one of the longest running MVPs, for an afternoon of free information. CODE Magazine and EPS Software are in a unique position to share information based on real world experience in projects that are either our own or one of the many projects we get to see in our role as mentors, trainers and consultants, as well as feedback we receive from CODE Magazine readers. This is NOT marketing hype! We will tell you which information you should invest time and money in, and which ones to avoid.

Topics Include:

Windows 8
- "Metro" Development
- The impact of Windows 8 on today’s development effort
- The future of C# and VB
- The future of HTML and JavaScript
- The future of C++
WPF, Silverlight, and other XAML technologies today and tomorrow
Architecture to serve the needs of modern applications
The need for SOA (Service Oriented Architecture) today and tomorrow
HTML 5, CSS3, and JavaScript
ASP.NET MVC, Razor and jQuery
"Visual Studio Async"
Windows Phone 7 and other mobile devices
and more!

Attendees of this free event will come away with a clear understanding of which technologies to use for various technical challenges. Questions? Please e-mail info@eps-software.com or call 832-717-4445 x32. For additional information, please visit www.codemag.com/training.

Note: This event is co-hosted by EPS Software Corp. and Microsoft Corporation. EPS is responsible for all content presented at this event.

Social Mixer - Bowling!

cconeybeer — Tue, 05 Apr 2011 00:00:00 GMT

We have not had a social mixer in a while, but the next one is scheduled! So here are the details:

The Southeast Valley .NET User Group would like to invite you to join us for a little bowling on the evening of April 19th at AMF Chandler Lanes located on N Arizona Ave. We will arrive at about 6PM and start bowling at 6:30PM on 3 lanes that we have rented until 9:00PM.

We hope that members come out and enjoy some time hanging together and getting to know one another outside of our standard meetings. There is no agenda but to have fun! If you have any questions or comments please let me know.

This is open to the members of SEVDNUG so please head on over to Eventbrite and get your ticket today. They are limited and you will need one to attend. We would like to thank our generous sponsor COMSYS for making it possible for us to have events like this. So make sure you thank them!

Please sign up here and hope to see you there!

Desert Code Camp 2011.1

sevdnugsf — Fri, 21 Jan 2011 00:00:00 GMT

The answer is actually simple. In order to use the official Code Camp name we follow these simple protocols:
1. By and For the Developer Community
Code Camps are about the developer community at large. They are meant to be a place for developers to come and learn from their peers. Topics are always based on community interest and never determined by anyone other than the community.
2. Always Free
Code Camps are always free for attendees.
3. Community Developed Material
The success of the Code Camps is that they are based on community content. All content that is delivered is original. All presentation content must be provided completely (including code) without any restriction. If you have content you don't want to share or provide to attendees then the Code Camp is not the place for you.
4. No Fluff: only Code
Code Camps are about showing the code. Refer to rule #1 if you have any questions on this.
5. Community Ownership
The most important element of the Code Camp is always the developer community. All are welcome to attend and speak and do so without expectation of payment or any other compensation other than their participation in the community.
6. Never occur during work hours
We need to understand that many times people can't leave work for a day or two to attend training or even seminars. The beauty of the Code Camp is that they always occur on weekends.

SEVDNUG June 2012 Meeting - IEnumerable, ISaveable, IDontGetIt: Understanding .NET Interfaces

sevdnugsf — Mon, 13 Dec 2010 00:00:00 GMT

Best practices tell us to program to an abstraction rather than a concrete class. Let's start by understanding what .NET Interfaces are and what they can add to our code. After that, we'll look at a couple of practical implementations that can make our code more robust, extensible, and testable.

And a bit about Jeremy:
Jeremy Clark is an application developer and technical speaker with over 12 years of experience in all aspects of the development lifecycle. After hours, he puts together demos and technical articles for JeremyBytes.com, a website focusing on .NET technologies. Other times he can be found shredding on a plastic guitar to Guitar Hero. He lives in Anaheim, CA with a seedling redwood tree and his cats, Amanda and Toby.

Joe Guadagno and Chris Coneybeer will present a review of what happened at BUILD.

SEVDNUG July 2012 Meeting - Developing with RavenDB

sevdnugsf — Mon, 13 Dec 2010 00:00:00 GMT

RavenDB is a Document Database written entirely in .Net.

In this presentation we will cover what a Document Database is and how developing with one requires thinking in a radically different way than you may be used to if you have traditionally used SQL Databases with .Net centric clients.

In the sample code we will walk through creating the Models(both .Net and JSON), Views and ViewModels for a modern HTML5, MVVM Website using KnockoutJS and JavaScript (no .Net on the Client) with a full REST WebAPI backend written in .Net using RavenDB as the Database.

I will demonstrate how this can make Web Based development much more intuitive and friendly for the developer. We will look at how the architecture for the Semantic Web has made Web Based development the modern standard for both humans and machines. We will look at the common Design Patterns that you can leverage when working in this style of development and how they are applied across multiple client platforms.

Bio:

Steele Price has been professionally designing and developing databases and interfaces to them for 30 years. He has also been professionally developing with Microsoft Visual Basic, C#, SQL Server and Visual Studio since their inception many years ago. Recently he has focused on the Semantic Web, HTML5 and cross-platform Web Enabled solutions.

He started professionally developing software in 1983. Software development has not only been his primary source of income since; it is his passion. Many of his software development processes grew to fruition by seeing a business or consumer need and working diligently to fulfill that need with a real application. When you love to do something it invades every aspect of your life.

In recent years he has focused on improving the software development process, design patterns and application reach. Learning from his own process failures as well as successes let him demonstrate how to achieve better real-world delivery of applications to companies ranging from "mom and pop" stores to top tier Insurance Carriers and Airlines.

He has always maintained a passion for taking that knowledge back to the community by speaking and sharing often with local user groups.

SEVDNUG October 2011 Meeting - Introducing Azure Service Bus Brokered Messaging

sevdnugsf — Mon, 13 Dec 2010 00:00:00 GMT

As mobility and platform agnostic clients continue to build momentum, the need for reliable, discreet messaging between clients and services has never been greater. Azure Service Bus Relay Messaging democratized service orientation by enabling you to expose applications and services using SOAP and REST from behind the firewall, anywhere in the world.

Last month, Microsoft enhanced Azure Service Bus by releasing support for Queues and Topics which extend the current capabilities of Azure Service Bus. Queues are an important addition to Azure AppFabric Service Bus capabilities because they provide a solid foundation on which to build loosely coupled distributed messaging solutions that support temporal decoupling, load distribution and load leveling. Topics extend queues to provide a logical and physical relationship between publishers and subscribers providing a great way to logically associate actions to events, enabling the implementation of the publish-subscribe pattern with a minimal degree of friction.

Rick is an active speaker, writer and passionate community advocate in the national .NET community. Rick is the President and Co-Founder of the Phoenix Connected Systems User Group, celebrating 3 years in operation. Recent presentations include talks at the Microsoft SOA and Business Process Conference in Redmond, WA, Microsoft TechEd in New Orleans, LA, Desert Code Camp, and numerous Microsoft roadshow events throughout the Southwest. He is a frequent contributor to CODE Magazine and DevX and maintains a personal blog focused on Microsoft distributed technologies at http://rickgaribay.net

SEVDNUG April 2012 Meeting - Thinking in Git

sevdnugsf — Mon, 13 Dec 2010 00:00:00 GMT

Have you ever looked at Git because it was trendy, but stumbled away dazed? Git isn't your father's source control system, but most of your knowledge of TFS, SVN, or other source control systems transfer over just fine. We'll take your existing knowledge of your Commit / Update VCS and we'll layer in the methodologies, tools, and communities that Git uses. What's the difference between pull and update? Isn't branching and merging dangerous? Can I get colored icons in Windows or Visual Studio? How do I contribute to a GitHub project? We'll graph Git's actions in blocks and compare it to git command results. You'll come away thinking in Git, ready to easily leverage the additional power.

SEVDNUG December 2011 Meeting - Design Patterns

sevdnugsf — Mon, 13 Dec 2010 00:00:00 GMT

Almost all software engineers have heard of design patterns and why they are important. The "Gang of Four" patterns have been around since 1994 and since then have spawned numerous other books and patterns. Patterns used to be Masters level course material in Universities but now taught earlier because
of their importance. We've had a previous presenter formally introduce the Gang of Four patterns and go through examples.

In this session, we'll dive deeper into the Gang of 4 patterns and concentrate on the relationship between patterns, how patterns are themselves implemented using other patterns and what are the tradeoffs between using different patterns to solve the same problem.

SEVDNUG October 2012 Meeting - Build Speedy Azure Applications with HTML 5 and Web Sockets Today

sevdnugsf — Mon, 13 Dec 2010 00:00:00 GMT

In the world of HTML5 development, interoperability is king. Unfortunately, sometimes interoperability can be at the expense of performance. With support for bi-directional, full-duplex messaging simply out of the reach of the HTTP protocol, messaging support in HTML5 can be severely limited. Fortunately, standards groups including the W3C and IETF are hard at work on a standard specification called WebSockets which aims to bring these much needed capabilities to the masses.

Come learn how Microsoft is leading the innovation behind this exciting capability with an interactive presentation covering Microsoft’s implementation of the HTML5 WebSockets API and how you can provide the performance and functionality required to deliver great user experiences with HTML5, ASP.NET, WCF, Node.js and Windows Azure today.

SEVDNUG April 2011 Meeting - Dependency Injection using Ninject and Unit Testing with Mocks using MoQ

sevdnugsf — Mon, 13 Dec 2010 00:00:00 GMT

Our purpose as software developers is to orchestrate together loosely coupled, well tested components. We'll begin with an example n-tier project that is tightly coupled, identify the dependency seams, and loosen the dependencies with the help of Ninject, an IoC container. Once we have loosely coupled components, we'll look at strategies for testing each component in isolation by mocking these dependencies with MoQ. At the conclusion, we should have a firm, practical grasp on methodologies for incorporating Dependency Injection into projects, and clearly understand the benefits for doing so.

OData Workshop

sevdnugsf — Tue, 21 Sep 2010 00:00:00 GMT

Abstract

The Open Data Protocol (OData) is an open protocol for sharing data. It provides a way to break down data silos and increase the shared value of data by creating an ecosystem in which data consumers can interoperate with data producers in a way that is far more powerful than currently possible, enabling more applications to make sense of a broader set of data. Every producer and consumer of data that participates in this ecosystem increases its overall value.

OData is consistent with the way the Web works - it makes a deep commitment to URIs for resource identification and commits to an HTTP-based, uniform interface for interacting with those resources (just like the Web). This commitment to core Web principles allows OData to enable a new level of data integration and interoperability across a broad range of clients, servers, services, and tools.

OData is released under the Open Specification Promise to allow anyone to freely interoperate with OData implementations.

In this talk Chris will provide an in depth knowledge to this protocol, how to consume a OData service and finally how to implement an OData service on Windows using the WCF Data Services product.

Desert Code Camp

sevdnugsf — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 00:00:00 GMT

What is Code Camp?

The answer is actually simple. In order to use the official Code Camp name we follow these simple protocols:
1. By and For the Developer Community
Code Camps are about the developer community at large. They are meant to be a place for developers to come and learn from their peers. Topics are always based on community interest and never determined by anyone other than the community.
2. Always Free
Code Camps are always free for attendees.
3. Community Developed Material
The success of the Code Camps is that they are based on community content. All content that is delivered is original. All presentation content must be provided completely (including code) without any restriction. If you have content you donÕt want to share or provide to attendees then the Code Camp is not the place for you.
4. No Fluff: only Code
Code Camps are about showing the code. Refer to rule #1 if you have any questions on this.
5. Community Ownership
The most important element of the Code Camp is always the developer community. All are welcome to attend and speak and do so without expectation of payment or any other compensation other than their participation in the community.
6. Never occur during work hours
We need to understand that many times people can't leave work for a day or two to attend training or even seminars. The beauty of the Code Camp is that they always occur on weekends.

For more information and to view the sessions, check the Desert Code Camp site.

Come to this talk and we’ll take a pragmatic look at component decoupling and why you should care. Rather than staying down in the details, we’ll keep our eyes on the bigger picture and the types of problems we can address. We’ll look at the essential concepts as well as different tools and approaches. Religious zealots not allowed.

New Features in WCF 4 that will Instantly Make you More Productive

Windows Communication Foundation has proven itself as a powerful and productive framework for addressing the myriad of messaging scenarios common in today’s distributed application landscape. WCF 3.0 introduced the unified programming model with a focus on SOAP messaging and WCF 3.5 shortly followed adding support for REST. In this talk, we’ll take a look at some of the new features in WCF 4.0 which will ship with the .NET Framework 4.0 and Visual Studio 2010. While not a comprehensive review, we’ll take a look at the new simplified configuration options for getting your services up and running in no time, support for WS-Discovery which allows your services to be discovered by other clients and services, as well as basic routing capabilities that allow messages to be delivered to multiple recipients based on routing rules.

Securing your website code.

How safe is that customer data you are storing on your website? Do you feel secure that the information that has been entrusted to you is really safe, and that your users are safe when they access your application? Are you safe from SQL injection issues by using LINQ, Nhibernate or stored procedures? How many of the OWASP Top 10 (http://www.owasp.org/images/e/e8/OWASP_Top_10_2007.pdf) vulnerabilities do your apps contain? Come and find out just how vulnerable the apps we write are, how some of our more common practices actually put us at risk, and how many of these vulnerabilities the .Net framework actually protects us from (and how we can put ourselves at risk).

NUnit / NAnt / Continuous Integration

Perhaps we could do a tour though NUnit / TestDriven.NET and get a feel for the power and ease of unit tests, then do a head-to-head of mocking frameworks: TypeMock, Rhino Mocks, MoQ, suggestions from the crowd, etc. For those just starting out, the take home message is "unit testing is easy". For those familiar with unit testing, the take home message is "this mocking framework better fits my needs than others I'm familiar with." Perhaps we could also take a breeze through Selenium in either the CI or Unit Testing discussion.
