Hello everyone,
I’m happy to announce our April meeting will take place on Wednesday April 23 at 6 p.m. It’s important to note that our meeting location this month will be at Microsoft in Waltham, MA, a couple exits up from our IBM Innovation Center meeting location.
This month we will have Greg Leake present his new .NET StockTrader 2.0 application. This presentation will focus on building highly scalable applications using the Windows Communication Foundation found in .NET 3.0 and ASP.NET. Other important topics to be discussed are interoperability, particularly with JavaEE applications and SOA. The .NET StockTrader 2.0 application is a service-oriented application. You can find out more about it at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/netframework/bb499684.aspx. I highly recommend getting familiar with the technical overview before the meeting as there is a lot of good information in there that directly relates to application scalability.
.NET StockTrader/SOA Session
Subject: The .NET StockTrader is an end-to-end sample application for .NET Enterprise Application Server technologies. It is a distributed service-oriented application based on the .NET Framework, specifically using Windows Communication Foundation and ASP.NET. This session will illustrate how many of the .NET enterprise development technologies are made for building highly scalable, rich “enterprise-connected” applications. Greg will also be doing a full demo of this application and how he has designed this application to be a benchmark kit.
Speaker: Greg Leake works in the Connected Systems Division at Microsoft. Greg has been at the company for about 15 years and has held several positions including a few in the Developer Division. He currently spends most of his time developing new enterprise software and samples that focus on interoperability, scalability and performance. Go to the link below to find out more about Greg and his work on the .NET Framework.
There will be pizza and drinks this month, sponsored by Microsoft. In order to know about how much food to order please register for this meeting! It’s just like reserving a few slices of pizza for yourself!
