SEVDNUG May 2013 Meeting - Aspect Oriented Programming and you

The event starts at Thursday, May 23, 2013 6:00 PM

This event will be held at Gangplank Chandler in Chandler

Stop wasting time writing unnecessary code and start focusing on the code that really matters. Aspect Oriented Programming keeps us DRY, reduces development and testing time by handling cross cutting "boiler plate" code.

You may have heard about AOP and how it's great for logging. Sure, it's great for logging. But what you haven't heard is the tremendous power it gives you over your code.

What you haven't heard is how is will reduce your LOC, reduce complexity and increase reusability How does automating the implementation of several well known design patterns such as INotifyPropertyChanged sound to you? Never bother writing that code ever again!

How about retro actively applying aspects to legacy projects with a single line of code?

In this session, you'll learn how to take advantage of AOP to make your life better and I'll even show you a capability of AOP that will blow your mind!

About me

I am a Microsoft C# MVP and AOP advocate. During the day I'm a code mercenary for hire and at night I produce training videos for PluralSight.com. You can usually find me at code camps and user groups all over Southern California.

SEVDNUG June 2013 Meeting - RavenDB 2.0 – Painless NoSQL for the .Net Developer

The event starts at Thursday, June 27, 2013 6:00 PM

This event will be held at Gangplank Chandler in Chandler

Have you wanted to break in to NoSQL but were intimidated by other options? Do you think scalable multi-entity transactions are not possible without a full RDBMS like SQL Server? Fed up with the mapping overhead that comes with ORMs like Entity Framework? Come take a closer look at RavenDB. This next-generation document database was designed specifically with .Net developers in mind. Learn how easy it is to use to add a schemaless, structured data store to your .Net applications.

No prior knowledge of RavenDB or NoSQL is required, but you should have familiarity with C# and general application development. This will be a fast-paced discussion with lots of real code examples. We will cover the following areas, starting from the basic, and moving towards the advanced. There should be something for everyone.

Document / Entity modeling considerations
Basic usage of Raven’s LINQ API
Full-Text analyzed searches
Using Map / Reduce indexes
Indexing related documents (pseudo-JOIN operations)
Update patching via JavaScript
Real-Time Change Notification
Replicating data to a SQL Server
Geo-Spatial Search (distance, proximity, polygons, etc.)
Using RavenDB in a web application
Embedding RavenDB in a desktop application
Indexing Word and PDF attachment contents
Temporal Data Versioning
