• June 21st Meeting Announcement

  DEAP (Delegates, Events, and Asychronous Processing) in ASP.NET Applications (pronouced DEEP) An issue that is talked about a lot is seperating your logic within applications, such as DAL, BLL, and the Presentation Layer.  Sometimes it is easier said than done, such as if UI changes need to occur during certain points of processing within DAL or BLL or other types of logic.  Often times, this results in injecting logic into your presentation layer that in the long run will make the application harder to maintain and to debug.  In this presentation I will address these issues and show how incorporating events and delegates into your applications can create excellent notification systems between multiple layers of an application. I will also address encapsulating this approach into reusable components as well as demonstrate some useful implementations of asychronous delegate execution within ASP.NET.  The goal of this presentation is to identify ways to better seperate logic and capitalize on the asynchronous capabilities of delegates within the .NET framework. Chris Rizzuto has been a technology consultant for the past six years, ranging from development and architecture to strategic technology planning.  He has worked with C# since beta 1.  Chris has led development efforts with teams ranging from 1 to 25.  Chris focuses on developing applications that maximize business value and are easily extendable, so that business is never held back by technology. The meeting is June 21st at 6:00 PM at Max Technical Training. We will have lots of giveaways and of course free pizza and drinks! Hope to see you there.

This role will be reporting directly to the VP of Apps. Development and will hold a large portion of independent development and architecture (10%). This position starts around May 25th, and is looking to interview immediately at the client site.

• May 17th Meeting Annoucement

  Custom Web Controls Everywhere - Many developers have been in the situation where they've wished a custom control had been implemented early on.  You'll learn which ASP.NET controls should be inherited in every project and how to create and use your custom controls in place of the standard ASP.NET controls.  This approach will allow you to more easily maintain your applications and implement application-wide logic very quickly.  We will also have a short discussion on how this approach will alter slightly with ASP.NET 2.0's skinning. However, you'll learn why skinning is not an alternative to creating custom controls, but more of a compliment to the approach. Jeff Handley is a Software Architect at Business Integration Group, a Cincinnati-based consulting company focused on the Microsoft .NET platform.  Jeff has been professionally developing web applications for nearly 10 years and he's been using the Microsoft platform since 1998 (ASP.NET since Beta 1).  As Jeff has led teams ranging in sizes from 1 to 15 developers, he's strived to develop application architectures that allow for simple development and maintenance. The meeting is May 17th at 6:00 PM at Max Technical Training. We will have lots of giveaways and of course free pizza and drinks! Hope to see you there.
