Speaker Biography

 

Bruno is used to sleeping with his passport. As a former Microsoft Premier Field Engineer, he has traveled to distant locations to help customers with problem isolation and correction, live and post-mortem debugging, application design and code reviews, performance tuning (IIS, SQL Server, .NET), application stability, troubleshooting, porting / migration assistance, configuration management, pre-rollout testing and general development consulting. Starting with Turbo C in the late 80’s, Bruno has kept busy teaching and writing code in a multitude of platforms, languages, frameworks, SDKs, libraries, and APIs. He claims that he’d read and write code even if he won the lottery. He is excited about rich applications powering the web, and the technologies that are evolving, morphing and merging – currently Virtualization, SOA, Web 2.0 and SaaS applications, using Visual Studio as the glue to manage these diverse computer worlds. Bruno started his computing pursuits while getting his accounting and finance degree from UC Berkeley’s School of Business.

 

Bruno now works as an developer evangelist, focusing on new and emerging technologies. You can read more about him at www.brunoterkaly.com

In this presentation, I'll talk briefly about the reasons we switched, and share how the transition was accomplished. The bulk of the presentation will be a workshop in which we'll connect two or more computers to a live SVN repository and let group members discover how to work with SVN hands-on.

 

 
Speaker Biography

 

Steve Bockman is an independent software developer who began his career in 1977 in a utility position, installing software packages for a manufacturer of business computers. Since then he has worked in the fields of speech recognition, terrain analysis, computer graphics, desktop publishing, industrial automation and web applications.

 

Steve’s first exposure to anything Agile occurred around 2000, when a co-worker suggested that they try pair programming. He liked what he saw, but didn't get involved again until 2005, while participating in a development effort in which changing requirements were part of the ground rules. He has been happily exploring Agile techniques ever since.

This meeting will have two presentations.  Patrick Gannon will present on the ASP.NET MVC Framework, which is Microsoft's forthcoming implementation of the Model View Controller pattern for developing web applications using .NET.  We will construct a simple web application using the MVC Framework and Linq to Sql, and we'll examine the differences from traditional WebForms development.  Patrick will also describe how the MVC Framework better enables Test Driven Development and eases the construction of REST-based web applications.  In our second presentation, Arsen Yeremin will show how to develop a Windows Service using .NET.

 

We are proud to announce the first meeting of the North Bay .NET User Group, which will have two presentations.  The AJAX talk will address some of the options available for implementing AJAX applications with .NET.  During the demo portion of the the talk, the presenter will show how how to build an AJAX application from scratch, and also how to upgrade an existing application to utilize the new web extensions library that is part of the .NET Framework 3.5.
 
C# 3.0 will be the topic of the second presentation, which will cover automatic properties, object and collection initializers, extension methods, anonymous types and lambda expressions, including the applications in Linq.  The event will be hosted at O'Reilly Media (in the Tarsier Conference Room), which is located in the breezeway at 1003-1005 Gravenstein Highway North (between Building B and Building C) in Sebastopol, CA.  For more information, please email nbnug.com@gmail.com.  We look forward to seeing you there!
