UPCOMING MEETINGS:
April CINNUG - Implementing M-V-V-M for WPF by Phil Japikse
Tuesday, April 27th - 6:00PM; Social Time - 5:30PM - MAX Technical Training - Mason, OH
NOTE: Topic Change
Due to unforeseen circumstances Chris Woodruff will not be able to join us at our April meeting. We have substituted Phil Japikse in with a talk on M-V-V-M (Model-View-View-Model).
The M-V-V-M pattern is the WPF adaptation of the Presentation Model pattern first docu-mented by Martin Fowler.
In this session we will build an app that shows how the M-V-V-M pattern is utilized for building SOLID WPF applications that are also testable.
Mike Wood will be giving the grok talk on Powershell 2.
May
BitSlingers
Monday, May 3rd - 6:00PM -Panera Bread - Mason Montgomery - Mason, OH
What is BitSlingers?
This is an informal meetup of people interested in learning
from one another. Bring your laptop and pair up with someone to work on an open
source project, learn a new technique, or even dabble in a new language. There
is no agenda or specific topic, just a time set aside for people to pair.
The meetup officially kicks off at 6:00PM, but lasts until
the last pair breaks up, or they kick us out. Feel free to come and join us for
as long, or as short, of a time as you want to.
NOTE: There will be no food provided, but
hey, we're at Panera.
May CinArc
Thursday, May 20th - 6:00PM - MAX Technical Training - Mason, OH
Come join this
new special interest group as we discuss topics related to software
architecture.
This meeting is
run using an open discussion or open fishbowl technique where the attendees are encouraged to share their
thoughts with everyone while keeping the meeting from becoming a free for all.
:)
What topic will we cover? Well, that's up to the attendees!
As usual, pizza will be provided at no charge thanks to our sponsors!
UPCOMING EVENTS:
Mobile Development Firestarter
Saturday,
April 24th - 9:00AM to 5:00PM - Microsoft Offices - Mason, OH
On April 24th CINNUG and the iPhone Developers User
Group will host the Mobile Firestarter event. We will spend the day
covering three of the mobile platforms: Android,
iPhone and Windows Mobile.
All three platform sessions will build the same application so you
can concentrate on the tools and techniques being used.
At the end of the day you should have a good base understanding of
the moving parts of the platforms, the tools used to create mobile applications
and the differences between each of the platforms so you can make decisions for
future projects.
This event will be hosted by CINNUG and
the iPhone Developer's Group which also meets at MAX.

This
event is being sponsored by Pillar Technologies, Cincinnati Bell Technology
