A big thank you to everyone that came to last night’s meeting. We had a great turnout to see Greg Leake’s presentation on the StockTrader 2.0 app and the Configuration Services. Greg’s presentation included full demos of the StockTrader interoperability with IBM’s version of the application. Greg successfully demo’d the fact that a service is a service by running the .NET web front end against the WebSphere business services and the WebSphere web front end against the .NET business services. He also showed the dynamic clustering and load balancing facilities in StockTrader 2.0 that are easily configured using the Configuration Services included with StockTrader 2.0. This isn’t even the tip of the iceberg as Greg had a jam-packed two-hour-plus presentation that covered a lot of ground. We would like to thank Greg for coming all the way to Waltham after his user group tour started in San Fransisco last week!
We would also like to thank Microsoft for hosting the meeting and providing the pizza. Chris Bowen and Linh Dinh did most of the heavy lifting to arrange this meeting and it was a big success.
Thanks again to everyone that attended last night! I’m very happy with the level of audience participation and insightful questions that people ask our speakers. Check back soon for the May meeting announcement.
