  • 12/10/2008 Meeting - Caching with Windows Communication Foundation

    Todd Stone will present on caching frequently accessed data near a Windows Communication Foundation service.  WCF can be a chatty interface and Todd will demonstrate that caching the frequently accessed data near the WCF service will avoid a lot of overhead in accessing it every time from the database.  This in turn makes your WCF service more scalable, robust and available.

    Since this is the last meeting of 2008, we will take the opportunity to spend a bit more time socializing!  
     
    We will have FREE food, drinks, and there will be a prize drawing for those who attend - courtesy of Sogeti!

  • 11/12/2008 Meeting - Caching and Exception Handling with WCF

    We have a double header planned for the November 12th meeting!  

    Todd Stone will present on caching frequently accessed data near a Windows Communication Foundation service.  WCF can be a chatty interface and Todd will demonstrate that caching the frequently accessed data near the WCF service will avoid a lot of overhead in accessing it every time from the database.  This in turn makes your WCF service more scalable, robust and available.

     Zach Bonham will present on the fundamentals of exception handling when working with Windows Communication Foundation.  Zach will cover options for communicating exceptions across the service boundary in a distributed  system, getting the most out of your exception handling (client and service), working with fault contracts and a look at IErrorHandler.

    We will have FREE food, drinks, and there will be a prize drawing for those who attend - courtesy of Sogeti!

  • 10/08/2008 Meeting - Real World Example of Synchronous and Asynchronous Messaging with BizTalk Server

    Please join us on October 8th as Don Tian presents on how to create a platform in BizTalk to process messages in an asynchronous, sequential fashion with duplicate detection, error handling, and recovery.  Don will utilize a custom orchestration delegator to provide a clean API to users of the platform and test the platform using BizTest.  This example is based on the platform created at Countrywide.

    We will have FREE food, drinks, and there will be a prize drawing for those who attend - courtesy of Sogeti!
