Announcement
The next San Diego .Net User Group meeting is Tuesday, February 22 at the
Scripps Ranch Library.
(See below for topic and directions).
Upcoming Tuesday, Feburary 22 Meeting Topic and Speaker:
Developing for Longhorn
With a Longhorn client beta due in the next few months, this is a great time
to start taking a look at this emerging technology and seeing what it means
to application developers!
This talk walks through lessons learned when building a Longhorn prototype
using the most recent public build of Longhorn. The talk will focus on one
of the two pillars of Longhorn - Avalon. Avalon offers a much more flexible
model for developers than previous versions of Windows. This talk will
discuss control customization, as well as databinding options for Avalon
controls. Although WinFS has been removed from the initial release of
Longhorn, it is still a major component slated to ship after Longhorn's
release. Thus, the talk will also discuss strategies for adapting between
WinFS and SQL Server Express for local storage. You'll walk away with XAML
and C# code that works with the current build of Longhorn.
Speaker: Mickey Williams
Mickey Williams is a C# MVP and the author of nine books on Windows
programming, including 'Visual C# .NET Core Reference' from Microsoft Press.
He has spoken at conferences in the USA and Europe, and has been working
with Longhorn since it was released at the PDC. A Principal Consultant for
Neudesic LLC, he has worked on the RE3W Longhorn prototype.
