Folks: we have a great line-up for the FREE sessions, including one
from the Program Manager of F#. Please blast the following info to
your memberships ASAP and I hope to see you in Brooklyn on Monday and
Tuesday!
VSLive Goes Grassroots with Community Nights!
Join us, at VSLive! for bonus evening content at VSLive Community
Nights, open and free of charge to the local developer community. We
will have presentations on F#, WPF, ASP.NET MVC, BizTalk and more.
Our speakers include members of Microsoft’s team (from Redmond, the
local Developer Platform Evangelism group and Microsoft Consulting
Services) as well as two of our local user group members.
Community Night #1: Monday, September 8th
Introduction to F#
Luke Hoban, Program Manager, F#
Monday, September 8 – 6:30 – 8:00 p.m.
F# is a new programming language for the .NET platform, which has
recently moved from incubation in Microsoft Research to productization
by Microsoft Developer Division. It targets the needs of the
scientific, technical and financial computing space, as well as the
needs of concurrent application developers and others interested in
functional programming for .NET. It combines the succinctness,
expressivity, and compositionality of typed functional programming
with the runtime support, libraries, interoperability, tools, and
object model of .NET. This brownbag will introduce the F# language,
library and tools and show some examples of domains in which F# is
being used successfully today.
Community Night #2: Tuesday, September 9th
Advanced Topic of BizTalk Mapping
Alex Star
Tuesday, September 9 – 6:30 – 8:00 p.m.
BizTalk - related demo: "Advanced topic of BizTalk mapping" where I
could show how to use build- in VisualStudio 2005/2008 XSLT debugger
as an alternative to BizTalk map editor in the case of the really
complex map scenario. I am thinking about 30 - 40 min presentation. Of
course, I should start with a short introduction to BizTalk and
probably, BizTalk for financial industry where mapping functionality
is probably, the most useful.
Moving from WPF to Winforms
Ravindra Okade
Tuesday, September 9 – 6:30 – 8:00 p.m.
Why move to WPF ?
Do we have a (good) WPF Designer ?
What built-in controls are available in WPF ?
Can I extend existing controls ?
Can I write user controls and custom controls in WPF ?
About WPF Resources
About WPF Styles and Templates
What third party controls are available in WPF ?
If time permits: Writing your own WPF list control
If time permits: Quick intro to animation in WPF
WPF resources
Developer Tools: Visual Studio and Beyond
Dmitry Lyalin
Tuesday, September 9 – 6:30 – 8:00 p.m.
Every profession from doctors to carpenters has a “toolkit”. These
tools tend to be essential, well known and even a part of the standard
training process. In the .NET arena numerous tools exist but are often
overlooked by Developers. This presentation hopes to change people
views on tools by reviewing those available as part of Visual Studio
2008 and beyond such as Fiddler2, IE Developer Toolbar, IE8 Developers
Tools and more. If you’re not a big tool user than this high-level
presentation is for you.
ASP.Net MVC
Peter Laudati
Tuesday, September 9 – 6:30 – 8:00 p.m.
When it comes to design patterns, the MVC is the granddaddy of them
all. First described in the late 70s, the MVC pattern remains very
popular in the world of web applications today. In October 2007,
Microsoft’s Scott Guthrie announced a new Model View Controller (MVC)
Framework for ASP.NET. Ever since then, posts about it have spread
about it like wildfire through the .NET blogosphere. There's usually
at least 2-3 MVC stories a day that show up on DotNetKicks. At several
tech conferences and community events around the country, MVC sessions
have been standing room only. Just what is the MVC Framework, and why
are developers so excited about it?
Join us as Peter Laudati, Developer Evangelist from Microsoft, breaks
the MVC framework down for you. Peter will give us a quick tour of the
framework, then peel back the layers and dive deeper into how it
works. As part of that, he’ll spend time discussing the design and
development practices that lead to the creation of the MVC framework.
ASP.NET MVC provides a framework that enables you to easily implement
the model-view-controller (MVC) pattern for Web applications. This
pattern lets you separate applications into loosely coupled, pluggable
components for application design.
