Doing .NET Days Day 2

February 13th, 2010

downloadDoing .NET Days Day 2 has been confirmed and locked in for the 6th of March and Registrations are open. Simon has the details on the need for moving the date.  A seat can be reserved by via email on the Doing .net Days page. Remember seats are fairly limited so if you wish to attend don’t put it off if you can help it.

The topics covered this time around are ‘Helping the Entity Framework play its <ROLE>’, looking at ways of using behavioural roles defined by interfaces in your system to be explicit and achieve high performance results, finer grained separation of concerns and greater configurability between your Domain Model and infrastructure. The second topic will be a practical look at getting started with NServiceBus, including demonstrations taking in messaging patterns such as Publish / Subscribe and full duplex.

Doing Advanced Distributed Systems Design – A Gift from Santa

February 4th, 2010

It is the second time I have sat through Udi’s Advanced Distributed Systems Design. Unlike repeating a course at University, I was like a 6 year old waiting for Santa Claus to arrive with his presents at Christmas. Not only has the course content been refined in some sections, CQRS (In case you missed it you can watch Udi’s presentation on CQRS here) for instance. Udi’s delivery of the material is such that he always has you yearning for more. The first time i did this course it was as though someone had opened my minds eye. Since then I have made so many changes to my thinking and the way I approach development.

My reasons for attending the course again were simple

  1. Gauge my progression
  2. Hear other peoples thoughts and opinions
  3. Spend more time at the feet of the master
  4. And of course Learn some more

The beauty of this course is that despite the complexity of the architecture and the concepts the delivery makes the comprehension a breeze.  Paul Batum and Rhys Campbell who attended the course have written up their impressions, as has Simon and we all agree that it is worth its weight in gold. So if you have thought about ever doing this course and can make it to one do so, but if your not able to go to one of upcoming courses I would strongly suggest getting in touch with Udi and working other possible solutions with him. Which is why I guess Simon is owed big thanks for setting up this opportunity.

As for NServiceBus and its comparisons to Nuclear Armament, I can only say that once you have used it, there is a realization that there is great power that can be wielded without any effort. Till you can try it for yourself see what twitter has to say about NServiceBus. For me the next dose of sharing some NServiceBus love will be at Day 2 of Doing .net Days on the 27th February 2010 if you have nothing on that Saturday why not send an email to register a seat before they run out
