SW Florida .Net Developers Group

An oversight brought on by the enemy of all Group Leaders, crunch, kept yours truly from noticing that this particular head of the SW Florida Dev media monster hadn’t been updated, not even from the original date that was in conflict. SWFLDEV admin regrets the error.

Wednesday’s meeting was not only a welcome change for some folks who were now available to come to Group, but a fun time learning about UI Frameworks, jQuery, and HTML 5 in the modern Microsoft dev environment. There’s a lot there, and we barely scratched the surface.

I’m sure we’ll revisit this topic in the future.

[This went out to the list today. Hey, new Friend of SWFLDEV! Check out Component One!]

Greetings, Devs!

As we kick off our seventh year of operation under current leadership here in SW Florida, we’d like to thank all of you, and remind you that this month’s Meeting is scheduled for 4/19 at the Polaris Center, to begin at 6:30pm.

(It hasn’t always been the easiest ride as Group leader, but it has to have been, as it continues to be, the most rewarding. Again, I thank you for placing your trust in me.)

Developers and officers from Surround Technology of Estero – Derek Maciak, Kent Pickard, Patrick Davis, Lee Paul – will present Accelerating MVVM development for Windows, Web and Mobile. This presentation, I’ve been told, was very well-received and successful in New Jersey, where Surround’s other office is located.

The synopsis is as follows:

Did you have enough of Chad England for Aspect-Oriented Programming?

No?

Good!

Chad will be taking another sip from the firehose on Thursday, March 22nd at the Polaris Center (kicking off as usual at 6:30pm).

This time:

If any of the following grab you, head down to Polaris Center, Naples on Thursday, 2/16, at 6:30pm:

• You can clean up your code by encapsulating mundane stuff like auth and exception handling into classes that you then apply with .Net attributes.
• You can follow that cool Ruby principle of not repeating yourself, in .Net.
• Your whole team can use the same attributes to standardize practices and frameworks.
• Your team doesn’t have to completely understand more complex procedures in order to use them as aspects.

Chad England has clearer explanations, and code samples he’ll be showing at his presentation on Aspect-Oriented Programming (AOP) at our February Group meeting. This presentation will also kick off our introduction of newest Friends of the Community, Sharpcrafters, makers of the PostSharp AOP tool.

Greetings, Devs!

Sorry – I’ve been hammered with everything.

YES, there is a meeting – tomorrow, in fact. I, your humble President, am going to relate my experience at the two-day developer conference in Ohio I attended, Codemash.

It’s at the Polaris Center, 4th Floor, 1265 Creekside Parkway in north Naples, FL. Meeting starts at 6:30pm.

Thanks,

John
