DDD

DDD9 - 29th Jan 2011

John McLoughlin

I work as a Technical Architect / .Net Consultant based out of Southampton and have been cutting code for over 10 years. Starting off in the Defence Industry playing with Fast Jets and RADAR, I soon got bored with the leisurely pace of technology change and the rigid development (20 year old technology considered risky!) and moved into the commercial sector. After a quick stab at Java, I moved into the .Net world and have never looked back.

I specialise in C#, Winforms and Distributed Systems, with a keen interest in the patterns and practices of Software Development and the technologies we all use. You'll often see me lurking around at various MSDN, Community events and of course NxtGenUG Southampton.

Sessions Submitted

Getting dirty with AppServer Fabric and WF4

Windows Server AppFabric is the new home for code name "Dublin" which are the WF extensions and hosting environment announced way back in PDC 08.  We take a look into the murky depths to see what is and how it helps us with our Workflows.
 

PRISM 4 with a dash of MEF

PRISM 4 now has out of the box support for MEF, we look at how we can use it and why MEF is an ideal addition to the framework.
 

WF4 Deep Dive

We go down into the depths of Workflow 4, looking at Bookmarks, Persistence Extensions and lots of other interesting dark corners.
