Also check out how you can transport your entire web project in a single .zip file and finally hear all about the web.staging.config, web.release.config etc. and the simple transformation syntax in them to create web.config files per deployment configuration. <br /> http://www.sevdnug.org/Events/All/SEVDNUG_July_2010_Meeting.aspx sevdnugsf http://www.sevdnug.org/Events/All/SEVDNUG_July_2010_Meeting.aspx 14436004-d67c-4aeb-97a0-ee812a43b186 Mon, 17 May 2010 00:00:00 GMT <h2>NoSQL Introduction for .Net developers</h2> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Presented by Josh Coffman</p> <p>What is NoSQL?

In order to use the official Code Camp name we follow these simple protocols: <br /> <strong>1. By and For the Developer Community </strong> <br /> Code Camps are about the developer community at large. They are meant to be a place for developers to come and learn from their peers. Topics are always based on community interest and never determined by anyone other than the community. <br /> <strong>2. Always Free</strong> <br /> Code Camps are always free for attendees. <br /> <strong>3. Community Developed Material</strong> <br /> The success of the Code Camps is that they are based on community content. All content that is delivered is original. All presentation content must be provided completely (including code) without any restriction. If you have content you donÕt want to share or provide to attendees then the Code Camp is not the place for you. <br /> <strong> 4. No Fluff: only Code</strong> <br /> Code Camps are about showing the code. Refer to rule #1 if you have any questions on this. <br /> <strong>5. Community Ownership</strong> <br /> The most important element of the Code Camp is always the developer community. All are welcome to attend and speak and do so without expectation of payment or any other compensation other than their participation in the community. <br /> <strong>6. Never occur during work hours</strong> <br /> We need to understand that many times people can't leave work for a day or two to attend training or even seminars. The beauty of the Code Camp is that they always occur on weekends. </p> <p>&nbsp;For more information and to view the sessions, check the <a href="http://www.desertcodecamp.com" title="Desert Code camp site">Desert Code Camp</a> site.</p> <p class="bodycopy"> </p> </div> <a href="http://www.desertcodecamp.com"></a> http://www.sevdnug.org/Events/All/Desert_Code_Camp-2291999648.aspx sevdnugsf http://www.sevdnug.org/Events/All/Desert_Code_Camp-2291999648.aspx 90b668f0-5a2b-4b7b-997d-42be4c0b6f2b Mon, 01 Mar 2010 00:00:00 GMT <p></p> <p><span style="font-size: 11pt; color: #1f497d;">IoC, DI, Decoupling so what! &nbsp;For some folks these are words to live by, for others it just sounds like pure religious dogma. Come to this talk and we’ll take a pragmatic look at component decoupling and why you should care. Rather than staying down in the details, we’ll keep our eyes on the bigger picture and the types of problems we can address. We’ll look at the essential concepts as well as different tools and approaches. Religious zealots not allowed.</span></p> <p>Guest presenter: Glenn Block PM at Microsoft.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Registration is required</strong>: <a target="_blank" href="http://www.eventbrite.com/event/539070374" style="text-decoration: none; color: #ee6600;">http://www.eventbrite.com/<wbr></wbr>event/539070374</a> </p> http://www.sevdnug.org/Events/All/February_2010_Meeting_Inversion_of_Control.aspx sevdnugsf http://www.sevdnug.org/Events/All/February_2010_Meeting_Inversion_of_Control.aspx ae772d58-62e5-4f53-9adc-fd66da6aaabf Sun, 14 Feb 2010 00:00:00 GMT <span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: 13px;"><span style="font-family: calibri;"><strong></strong></span></span></span>In this talk Chris Young will discuss the possibility of running an entire organization using agile tenants combined with the Scrum Framework.&nbsp; How does Scrum relate to Agile?&nbsp; What is management's role?&nbsp; How do you empower a self-organizing team?&nbsp; If you are currently practicing Agility or are interested in starting, this discussion should be right up your alley.<br /> <br /> Chris Young has been doing Agile software development for four years and is currently in the role of Scrum Master at Integrum Technologies.<br /> http://www.sevdnug.org/Events/All/SEVDNUG_April_2010_Meeting_Agile_and_Scrum_Development.aspx sevdnugsf http://www.sevdnug.org/Events/All/SEVDNUG_April_2010_Meeting_Agile_and_Scrum_Development.aspx b36f5c7b-29cc-40f5-901d-97bffe26cc3f Thu, 11 Feb 2010 00:00:00 GMT Join us for our 2nd social mixer of the year at Brunswick Zone in Gilbert for two hours of bowling and socializing. <p>We got a few lanes, a few shoes, some appetizers and some drinks sponsored by <a title="Comsys IT Staffing" href="http://comsys.com/services/staffing.html">Comsys</a>*.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Registration is required!</strong> Register at: <a href="http://sevdnug0210-sevdnug.eventbrite.com">http://sevdnug0210.eventbrite.com</a> <span style="font-size: 13px;"></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 13px;">*The sponsor will cover a certain amount of the cost.&nbsp; You might be required to purchase some of your own food and drink.</span> </p> http://www.sevdnug.org/Events/All/February_2010_Social_Mixer.aspx sevdnugsf http://www.sevdnug.org/Events/All/February_2010_Social_Mixer.aspx 7f05aeac-1de4-4d7a-9865-864ab2573e50 Thu, 11 Feb 2010 00:00:00 GMT
