SSW Tech Breakfast
Object-orientated architectural patterns for enterprise scale applications
- presented by Tathan Oddie
|
|
|
In this session
Tatham will discuss object orientated architectural patterns relating
to enterprise scale applications. Focus will be given to Inversion of Control
style programming and design patterns such as the provider model and other
patterns common in enterprise applications. Object-orientated architecture
allows scalable applications both in terms of functionality and programmability
but only when used correctly.

SSW Software Audit
|
|
Companies from across the globe have been taking advantage of SSW's Software
Audit Services. The common message that is received from clients is that
getting their software built in-house can sometimes lead to a failure to
identify design flaws and architectural insufficiencies. They need an unbiased
second opinion from a knowledgeable source that can make recommendations to
improve the quality of their software.

The Cutting Edge
|
|
| Happy New Year Developers! |
|
The first problem with specs is that nobody writes them. Joel
Spolsky
says  "Writing specs is like flossing: everybody agrees that it's a
good thing, but nobody does it". We know developers like writing code more than
specs, but our developers don't code without a spec.

Sydney .NET User Group - The best place to learn
.NET for free in Sydney
|
|
|
Sydney .NET User Group 19th January 2005
|
|
 We have 3 great speakers this
month! First up
Edward Forgcs and
Tatham Oddie will discuss dynamic loading of assemblies in .Net using
reflection, and the various scenarios where this approach is best leveraged.
Using the dynamic load techniques discussed earlier,
Edward Forgcs
will demonstrate a simple framework for business applications to support add-in
functionality, similar to that used by Microsoft Office. Making your own
business applications extensible allows you to market different parts of an
application individually, combine in-house only functionality with more generic
code, and expose your object model to third party developers.
Tatham Oddie will present on the concepts behind Inversion of
Control, an architectural pattern heavily dependant on dynamic loading of
assemblies. Specifically, Tatham will discuss the provider model, which is
currently experiencing rapid adoption, and provide a series of scenarios where
similar IoC patterns could significantly benefit scalability and
componentisation.
Andrew Coates will
introduce some of the diagramming and testing components in the upcoming Visual
Studio Team System. He will also discuss the new client callback concept in
ASP.NET 2.0. In a client callback, a client script function sends an
asynchronous request to an ASP.NET Web page. The Web page runs a modified
version of its normal lifecycle the page is initiated and its controls and
other members are created, and then a specially marked method is invoked. The
method performs the processing you have coded and then returns a value to the
browser that can be read by another client script function. Throughout this
process, the page is live in the browser.

SSW Tech Breakfast eXtreme Programming for .NET Developers
|
|
To coincide with the release of his new book
(http://www.awprofessional.com/title/0321303636), Dr. Neil will be
presenting this Tech Breakfast session on eXtreme .NET.
In his book, leading .NET and XP mentor Dr. Neil Roodyn covers planning, task
definition, test-driven development, user interfaces, refactoring, spiking,
pair programming, and much more. Dr Neil offers field-proven advice for
everything from automating builds to integrating third-party libraries. He also
incorporates valuable exercises and presents a start-to-finish case study that
shows exactly how XP and Microsoft .NET interoperate throughout an entire
development project.
