VBUG Manchester: XML - The missing LINQ with Dave McMahon
Date: Thu 28 August to Thu 28 August 2008
Topic: VBUG TECHNICAL SEMINAR
Overview: We've heard much about LINQ to SQL, its neat, but what is also neat is LINQ to XML, which hasn't has anywhere near as much press. So while everybody is looking the other way, lets sneak a look at how VB 9.0 is gearing up for a bit of a revolution in the way we handle XML: XML DOM is on its way out, XElement is on its way in. Along the way we'll check out a few new XML features in VB 9.0 including LINQ to XML, XML Literals and a bunch of other stuff too ...

VBUG LONDON: CSLA.NET with Andrew Hallmark
Date: Wed 10 September to Wed 10 September 2008
Topic: VBUG TECHNICAL SEMINAR
Overview: CSLA.NET is a business object framework that can help developers of all skill levels to build scalable, maintainable applications that adhere to industry best practices without extended delivery time.
Code generation is a technique for automatically creating sections of code to a consistent standard, usually through the combination of a generic template with a specific entity model.
Both techniques are beneficial in their own right but in combination offer a compelling method of quickly delivering high quality applications. In this session I will explain what CSLA.NET is all about and demonstrate how, by combining these two techniques you can free up time for other pursuits (or other projects).
If you want to explore an interesting technique that encourages good architectural practice or find out what code generation is and how it can help you with repetitive tasks then come along and join in.
SPEAKER BIO: Andrew Hallmark is a Technical Architect for Maritz, a performance improvement company. He's been in software development for 14 years, first programming in Clipper before becoming Microsoft certified. Having delivered solutions of all sizes in VB, ASP and even Access he now most often develops using SQL Server and .NET. Like everyone else, Andrew regularly encounters the need to deliver quality applications with short lead times. By trying to balance the investment required to learn new skills and techniques with the benefits they bring, he constantly strives to deliver cost effective solutions to customers.

Date: Wed 12 November to Wed 12 November 2008
Topic: VBUG TECHNICAL SEMINAR
Overview: Most developers want the best possible performance from their code. Inspired by the idea of "proof by contradiction" this talk looks at how to write slow code and how the .NET platform, Windows and the processor will try and sabotage your efforts. A variety of techniques for inefficient coding will be covered including:
Flow control with Exceptions
Abusing Threads
Misuse of the Heap
It's one man against some of the brightest minds in Redmond, seeking an answer to the question "How Slow Can It Go?"
