We are running our developer conference again three times this year. This is all on Visual Studio 2008 and .NET Framework 3.5 technologies you need in order to be productive like LINQ, Silverlight, ADO.NET Entity Framework, WCF, and SQL Server 2008. I will be speaking at the NYC event on Real World SOA, WCF and WF. When Thursday, February 21st, 2008 8:30am-5:00pm Breakfast and lunch will be provided Where New York Marriott East Side 525 Lexington Ave. at 49th St. New York, NY 10017 [see map] Cost $75 per person Includes sessions, attendee bag, t-shirt, breakfast, lunch, and raffle tickets <>Break </> Three Tracks: Visual Studio 2008 SQL 2008 IO 9:45a -11:00a Session 1 LINQ The upcoming release of Visual Studio 2008 includes significant updates to the Visual Basic and C# languages. The most significant of these enhancements is Language Integrated Query (LINQ), which adds general-purpose query syntax to the Visual Basic and C# languages. Using LINQ, you can query collections, databases, and XML content using a clear and consistent syntax. This talk will describe LINQ, including LINQ to SQL, LINQ to XML, and LINQ to Objects. We’ll also spend some time on some fundamental changes to C# that enable LINQ, such as anonymous types, extension methods, and Lambda expressions. Presented by: Mickey Williams, Technical Director, Neudesic Enterprise Data Platform Microsoft has cast a new vision for data management. They are looking to harness, secure, and keep available all Read More...

BizTalk Services This is one way to find out that the BizTalk Services hosted at http://biztalk.net have been updated :) WCF/Web Service Software Factory/Oslo/Neudesic I really love the new Web Services Software Factory and the Contract Modeling capabilities. They just recently released the WCF Security Guidance Package which automates applying security settings and guidance. After the last four years with Indigo, it is really the security that is the toughest part, simply because there are *so* many options to choose from. This really helps. Pablo has a nice post on WCF Dependency Injection Marty makes it official After almost 3 years of the one talk SOA with WCF that I have been doing (its been changed every time though), I am going for a very deep, advanced WCF talk on Pub-Sub and advanced MEP concepts and then showing how to get that advanced capability out of the box with our Neuron ESB at the upcoming Philly Code Camp . I am going to leap in at the place my other talks have ended and spend a lot more time on what you can achieve with WCF. I'm happy to announce that again, Neudesic will be a Gold Sponsor at the event UX Speaking of us, UX is one of our up and coming Practices and they recently impressed at the Phizzpop Design Challenge in Austin. Josh Holmes had this to say, " Neudesic actually worked out of the room that I was hanging out at to be available the entire time. They had three team members, two devs and a pure designer. It was great to watch how Read More...

I said, way back here , that I was working with another Neudesic Principal Consultant, Chad Thomas , on two WCF demo services/applications for my SOA with WCF and ESB talks. That talk, as many have noticed, spends a whole hour on Architectural, Domain-Driven and Software Patterns that I believe are neccessary to design and develop a quality WCF Service. The second hour of the talk is on WCF. I now will be giving you 1/2 of that code that has been used in the two New Jersey groups as well as the Chicago CNUG presentation. What was lacking was a real demo - I always showed crappy Hello WCF demos :). I wanted to show more and use some of my learnings but at the same time not take siz months to build a full domain-driven application. The code reflects my current learnings. I have really Steve Eichert to thank, in the last 2 years of working together, having a very profound and deep influence on me with Domain-Driven Design and particuarly the Repository Pattern . We also learned a lot about how to organize complex Visual Studio solutions with lots of projects as well as reflecting the actual layered design. In that sense, we were heavily influenced by the directory structure generated and promoted by the Web Services Software Factory. We also used the Wilson O/RM Mapper. Meanwhile, Chad was leading .NET development projects at JP Morgan Chase and also heavily using DDD, Business Entities, Repositories, TDD and Domain-Mapper. Chad has a lot of experience with the same areas I am interested Read More...

A further note about what I just blogged about what our upcoming Webinar and CNUG with the applications Chad and I are developing. I will be showing and giving out to the community tonight a significant portion of our code. These demo applications Chad and I developed are both influenced by our backgrounds. Both of us have just had similar experiences that last few years, Chad at JP Morgan Chase and myself at Algo. In my two years at Algo, as detailed on this blog and Steve's, we used all the XP Practices/TDD/NUnit, Repositories/DDD, O/RM, etc to develop our WCF Services, the Smart Client, and the rest of the system. Chad did a similar thing at JPMC. Given that, when we went to implement our demo applications, we didn't want them to be just the same old Purchase Order demos. We wanted to reflect our love of Domain Driven Design, TDD and O/RM as well as show best practice "Fowler Patterns." I spend a significant time in my "SOA talks" for INETA focusing on the Architectural and Software Design patterns like Service Interface, Repositories, etc. So lon story short, we have developed an Order and an Inventory system using DDD all through out focusing on our Entity Model. We have shown best practices like the Repository pattern and we use N/Hibernate as our O/RM. We show testing your Repository layer via NUnit tests. In addition, the WCF services utilize Translators, Service Adapters and other patterns from the Web Service Software Factory (WSSF). So, we Read More...
