Dec 17th - Practical .NET Reflection w/ Steve Bearman
|
![]() |
|
Reflection is powerful and is widely used in .Net. We'll use reflection to determine objects' types at runtime, invoke class methods dynamically, and more. We will construct classes dynamically, even with parameters. Using reflection, we'll build a Factory Method for constructing classes. We will use our reflection-based Factory Method in a dynamic Plug-In architecture (useful for isolation/separation of concerns, dependency injection, etc.) Reflection is also useful in dealing with data, and we will use reflection to synchronize data across classes.
About the Speaker:
Steve Bearman is a software developer with his company, Suzy B Studios, and with Systems Engine and Chase Computing International. He has developed software throughout his professional career, originally in direct support of science and engineering, later for the broader range of technology, medicine, business, ecommerce, and finance. He has taught graduate-level computer science, and has published technical papers dealing with the collection and use of data. He has designed and developed the software for a large networked GPS-based fleet management system used internationally; develops financial analysis and support software for a very large, successful hedge fund; and through Chase Computing has just finished a second one-year contract at NASA/JPL developing .Net Web software in support of the Deep Space Network.

Nov 19th - Code Excellence for the Average Programmer w/ Llewellyn Falco & Woody Zuill
|
![]() |
|
This is a code intensive presentation on how to build quality into your project and keep your code healthy througout it's life. As a project progresses from an idea to a working application and eventually into production, the code naturally becomes more complicated and is constantly in danger of becoming hard to work with and easy to break. Each new method, module or class, and each new feature or fix might be the straw that breaks the camels back. Probably not, but there is always the chance that some little change or fix will end up being an all-nighter.
We're always in a struggle to keep our sanity while still keeping on schedule. Join us in this adventure as we explore an attitude and approach (as well as some tools and techniques) that can help us in our quest for code excellence.
About the Speaker:
Woody Zuill is currently working as a Senior Software Engineer and team lead, as well as a ScrumMaster, doing ongoing development for a large application that is used all over the world to provide highly customizable customer care and billing to pay media operators. Woody has been programming computers for about 25 years, but has only taken it seriously for the last month or so although he holds an MCSD and is a Certified ScrumMaster (whatever that is). He has years of experience in the custom manufacturing of graphics and signage for televised sporting events where deadlines actually have meaning, and spends his spare time writing about himself in the third person. His blog address: http://zuill.us/WoodyZuill/
Llewellyn Falco is an Xp / Agile coach and a speaker at local user groups and code camps. He also run the approvaltests package on sourceforge

To the untrained eye, LINQ may seem like a brand new technology but it has actually been over 7 years in the making. In this session we will uncover where LINQ came from and why you need to pay attention to it. (Anders Hejlsberg is the project sponsor) We will discuss what an ORM (Object Relational Mapper ) is and why you want to use one. We will explore the language enhancements that make LINQ possible and then dive into the fundamentals of the LINQ pipeline and language. We will wrap up the session by discussing how you should integrate Linq into your ASP.Net Application ( ie. not in your code behind pages)

20th August – Jon Flanders on Programming with REST & WCF
|
![]() |
|
Programming with REST & WCF
One of the key new features of Windows Communication Foundation 3.5 (WCF 3.5) is the Web Programming Model. The Web Programming Model enables developers to build Services using a RESTful architecture. The number of services implemented using this new architectural approach out in the wild is growing by leaps and bounds. In this session we cover the basics of REST versus SOAP/WS-*, and how to build Services using WCF 3.5 that are RESTful in nature. We also talk about adding Web feeds (RSS and/or ATOM) to our Services, which can enable easy access to enterprise data.
About the Speaker:
Although Jon spent the first few years of his professional life as an attorney, he quickly found chasing bits more interesting than chasing ambulances. He first worked at the University of Minnesota, building a financial reporting Web site using ASP and SQL Server, specializing in automatic integration between multiple data stores. Since joining the training industry in 1999, Jon has devoted his time to working on various projects while migrating from the world of ASP and COM to the world of .NET, ASP.NET, and Web Services.
Jon is most at home spelunking, trying to figure out exactly how things work. Deducing the details and disseminating that information to other developers is his passion. Jon wrote Essential ASP for Addison-Wesley, and co-authored Mastering Visual Studio.NET for O'Reilly. His most recent technology interest is BizTalk 2004. He has been working with BizTalk 2004 since before its public release, authoring BizTalk courseware, articles, and utilities, as well as providing BizTalk consulting services. Jon has also been involved with Windows Workflow Foundation since its beta release, and currently has been working with Microsoft delivering jumpstart training for BizTalk Server 2006 R2.

Dynamic Languages and the DLR
ASP.NET Framework 3.5 Extensions
This is an exciting event for San Gabriel .NET user Group.
In our June meeting, two excellent speakers will be doing talks on Dynamic
Languages and the DLR and ASP.NET 3.5 Extension
Session 1 - Dynamic
Language Runtime by Mike Vincent
The Dynamic Language Runtime (DLR) announced at MIX07
provides a dramatically better level of support for dynamic languages on .NET.
Microsoft is bringing us Iron Python, Iron Ruby, Jscript and Visual Basic.
Coupled with Silverlight, we are now gaining a broad addition to our
development tool set that extends even to web based client-side code. So, what
are the advantages you can gain from using dynamic languages? When and where
should you consider dynamic languages? What’s important from the architect’s
view, the developer’s view, and the business case view? This session is all
about the changing architectural landscape with dynamic languages giving us new
choices in choosing the best tool for the job. Key Take Aways 1. Can you
improve coding productivity and maintainability with dynamic languages? 2. What
design patterns should you give specific consideration to for dynamic
languages? 3. Can you take greater advantage of client side processes at
run-time?
Session 2 - The
ASP.NET 3.5 Extensions by David Wells
The ASP.NET 3.5 Extensions Preview has been released to
show the new features that are being added to ASP.NET and ADO.NET. These
features include the ADO.NET Entity Framework, ADO.NET Data Services, ASP.NET
MVC, and ASP.NET Dynamic Data. Also included are ASP.NET MVC framework, AJAX
history support and ASP.NET controls for Silver light. We will review these new
features and look at demo examples.
