Details are as follows and posted on the sit e (http://www.cpd.ogi.edu/course.asp?n=08-SPIN-0612) . There is a lot m ore to delivering a software project on time and within budget than just wr iting code. In fact\, in many modern software development efforts\, the cod e is the least challenging part. The hard part is setting up a build\, test and deployment infrastructure that allows developers to work together effe ctively and efficiently. Working efficiently with your source control sy stem\, and establishing a Continuous Integration process can go a long way toward achieving those goals. We'll look at how to organize your team and u se the right tools to make the development process as efficient and effecti ve as possible. \n\n******************************\nfrom FuseCal.com\n*** ***************************\n\nOriginal Event Location: http://padnug.org/p adnug/meetings.aspx\n\n\n******** Sponsored By ********\naccident\nFind acc ident\nhttp://www.fusecal.com/ad/rDhSAJ?cid=5988\n************************* ******** DTSTART:20080612T180000 TRANSP:TRANSPARENT CREATED:20081028T090914Z DTSTAMP:20081113T213521Z END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT STATUS:CONFIRMED LAST-MODIFIED:20081028T090932Z SEQUENCE:0 URL:http://padnug.org/padnug/meetings.aspx PRIORITY:0 CLASS:PUBLIC UID:659540ba-259c-11dd-96e8-12313900c0d4@fusecal.com SUMMARY:Topic: Using WPF Now - the Why and the How Robert Half Technology DESCRIPTION:Topic: Using WPF Now - the Why and the How Robert Half Techno logy KOIN Center (http://shrinkster.com/v8y) 222 SW Columbia Street Por tland\, OR 97201 Nick Muhonen\, a Portland area resident\, has been worki ng in and teaching Microsoft .Net technologies for the past 8 years.

The CodeDOM provides classes\, interfaces\, and architecture that can be used to represent the structure of source code\, independent of a specific progr amming language. The CodeDOM provides the ability to output each representa tion as source code in a programming language that the CodeDOM supports\, w hich can be selected at run time. The CodeDOM plays an important behind -the-scenes role in the .NET Framework and Visual Studio® .NET. It's also u sed by ASP.NET to generate executable code\, and in fact it is necessary fo r a language to implement a CodeDomProvider in order to be used in ASP.NET pages. The CodeDOM is also used for Web Services Description Language proxy generation and in the designers and code wizards in Visual Studio .NET. Paul will delve in the inner workings of the CodeDOM namespace including some practical examples and how you can harness its potential on your next project. Paul Kimmel is a talented writer\, speaker\, and software arc hitect. He writes extensively on best practices in object-oriented program ming including the recently released SAMS Visual Basic.NET Unleashed\, the soon to be released Osborne's Advanced C# Programming\, and is a freelance writer for both Windows Developer Magazine and CodeGuru.com. Paul will als o be speaking at the Fall Comdex 2002 in Las Vegas\, NV as a Keynote Pa nelist for COMDEX Great Debate: .NET or .WHAT? .NET is the future of open\ , interoperable computing\, says Microsoft. No\, say critics\, .NET is a wa y for Microsoft to co-opt open Web services standards and dominate the Inte rnet. But how can that be\, if .NET supports the hot open standards like XM L\, SOAP\, and UDDI? Paul will be championing Microsoft's .NET strategy and gets at the fundamental question: Is .NET a lock-in strategy for Microsoft customers? What are the alternatives? In addition\, for the last 15+ ye ars Paul has architected and implemented numerous client/server\, e-commerc e and web applications. He is currently the lead architect for a major .NE T implementation in the Portland\, Oregon metro area\, in addition to his w riting and speaking schedule. \n\n******************************\nfrom Fus eCal.com\n******************************\n\nOriginal Event Location: http:/ /padnug.org/padnug/meetings.aspx\n\n\n******** Sponsored By ********\naccid ent\nFind accident\nhttp://www.fusecal.com/ad/rDhSAJ?cid=5988\n************ ********************* DTSTART:20030227T183000 TRANSP:TRANSPARENT CREATED:20081113T170311Z DTSTAMP:20081113T213521Z END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT STATUS:CONFIRMED LAST-MODIFIED:20081113T170326Z SEQUENCE:0 URL:http://padnug.org/padnug/meetings.aspx PRIORITY:0 CLASS:PUBLIC UID:e05ded66-a9d0-11dd-8936-123139004c24@fusecal.com SUMMARY:Topic: Awesome Stuff Microsoft Portland Office located in Lincoln T ower DESCRIPTION:Topic: Awesome Stuff Microsoft Portland Office located in Lin coln Tower (http://tinyurl.com/ylkttk) 10260 SW Greenburg Road Suite 600 Portland\, OR 97223 \n\n******************************\nfrom FuseCal.co m\n******************************\n\nOriginal Event Location: http://padnug .org/padnug/meetings.aspx\n\n\n******** Sponsored By ********\naccident\nFi nd accident\nhttp://www.fusecal.com/ad/mLvPtm?cid=5988\n******************* ************** DTSTART:20090106T180000 TRANSP:TRANSPARENT CREATED:20081113T170312Z DTSTAMP:20081113T213521Z END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT STATUS:CONFIRMED LAST-MODIFIED:20081113T170326Z SEQUENCE:0 URL:http://padnug.org/padnug/meetings.aspx PRIORITY:0 CLASS:PUBLIC UID:765b71aa-4345-11dd-a9b7-12313a00ccb1@fusecal.com SUMMARY:Topic: Using the Dispose Pattern to Prevent Resource Leaks Portland Community College Auditorium DESCRIPTION:Topic: Using the Dispose Pattern to Prevent Resource Leaks Po rtland Community College Auditorium CAPITAL Center\, Room 1508 18640 NW Walker Rd.

All are interested in doing more with less\, particularly when considering how to migrate legacy applications to Microsoft .NET and t he web. This presentation will contrast and evaluate two strategies open t o web application developers: (1) re-tool your legacy Visual Basic applica tions to run on the .NET framework\, or (2) re-generate them from scratch s pecific to the .NET platform. Each of these strategies has pro's and con 's. The architecture of web applications is completely different than clie nt-server applications\, requiring new design thinking as well as new skill s. Web applications are used by several internal departments and can be c ustomer facing\, where on the other hand client-server applications were us ually created for internal use by one department. This enhanced design can mean months of additional development work\, and the inclusion of new kind s of critical features like user authentication and dozens of unique user i nterface features and page controls. Using an application generation appro ach\, however\, lets developers jump-start the web application development cycle\, even if they don't know how to code HTML pages or write SQL queries . Not a panacea of course\, but application generation is gaining ground among enterprise IT professionals because it allows web applications to be rapidly and easily built specifically to the web environment\, instead of just re-tooling client-server applications. This presentation will inclu de: a comparison of client server vs. web architecture a review of some of the challenges of migrating VB applications to VB .NET sample source co de of a generated application Presenters: Michael Compton is a consultan t to companies developing web applications on the Microsoft .NET framework. His 25-year development career includes leading the development of a know ledge-based expert system to fly on board the Space Shuttle while working a t the Artificial Intelligence Research Branch at NASA Ames Research Center. He has also built development tools and expert systems for Teknowledge Co rporation and Unisys. Michael has taught graduate courses and lectured at the University of San Francisco\, Stanford University and Sonoma State Univ ersity\, and has written an introductory book on Robotics. Alan Fisher is Chairman of Iron Speed\, Inc.\, and a venture capitalist working with ente rprise software companies. He is a five-time entrepreneur\, and was co-fo under and CTO of Onsale (now Amazon)\, the first online e-commerce auction engine\, which he helped build to a $650 mm publicly traded company. D espite all this\, he remains in close touch with his "inner programmer.'' The pain of building enterprise-class web applications from scratch inspir ed Alan and his partners to launch Iron Speed and simplify and accelerate w eb application development. Working with customers of Iron Speed puts Alan squarely on the pulse of the today's enterprise developer -- he is working with the folks on the bench every day -- figuring out how Microsoft .NET be st applies\, and helping developers streamline their development efforts. Background on Iron Speed\, Inc. Iron Speed opens a whole new category of web application development\, called Application Generation\, which specif ically addresses the need for greater productivity\, better resource alloca tion and more rapid development. \n\n******************************\nfrom FuseCal.com\n******************************\n\nOriginal Event Location: htt p://padnug.org/padnug/meetings.aspx\n\n\n******** Sponsored By ********\nac cident\nFind accident\nhttp://www.fusecal.com/ad/mLvPtm?cid=5988\n********* ************************ DTSTART:20030327T183000 TRANSP:TRANSPARENT CREATED:20081113T170311Z DTSTAMP:20081113T213521Z END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT STATUS:CONFIRMED LAST-MODIFIED:20081113T170347Z SEQUENCE:0 URL:http://padnug.org/padnug/meetings.aspx PRIORITY:0 CLASS:PUBLIC UID:75defc60-4345-11dd-a9b7-12313a00ccb1@fusecal.com SUMMARY:Topic: Visual Studio .NET "Everett" Portland Community College Audi torium DESCRIPTION:Topic: Visual Studio .NET "Everett" Portland Community Colleg e Auditorium (http://maps.expedia.com/pub/agent.dll?qscr=mcst&strt1=1626+SE +Water+Avenue&city1=Portland&stnm1=Oregon&zipc1=97214) Microsoft .NET V1.1 is coming.

The mechani sm provides the ability to have client script code call back on the ASP.NET server page and provide content to update the client page without refreshi ng the entire page. This session introduces the basics of the technology an d then delves into how you can utilize this ASP.NET 2.0 feature realistical ly in your applications. Some issues covered are determining which format t o use to pass data\, when to use Postbacks vs. Client Script Callbacks and how to avoid excessive complexity managing code both on the client and the server. We'll also look at ways to implement similar functionality in ASP.N ET 1.1 and cover an overview of the underlying AJAX technology that sit s underneath script callbacks.
