CMAP Hands On Labs Group Meeting - Silverlight - Thursday, May 21st at 6:30pm

2009-05-19T21:23:25+00:00

The CMAP Hands On Labs Group will be meeting this Thursday, May 21st at TEK Systems in Linthicum, MD at 6:30pm.

The focus of this group is to go through a couple of hands on labs (HOL) together during each meeting. The idea is to learn through a hands-on experience. People like touching the bits. It's much easier to learn while getting your hands wet with the code, and we're doing what we can to help you along the way. So, bring your laptop and we'll provide the labs.

If you don't have a laptop (or portable desktop), you can still join us. You can either buddy up with someone or just watch as we will walk through each step of the lab along with everyone else.

If you are planning on bring a laptop, below are instructions and software needed to prepare before arriving. I will bring the labs on a USB thumb drive.

The focus of the labs this month is Silverlight.

Required software:

Windows Server 2003 SP1, Windows XP SP2, or Windows Vista
Visual Studio 2008 (evaluation version available here: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/enus/vstudio/products/aa700831.aspx)
Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 (included in Visual Studio 2008) (http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=7755937)
Visual Studio 2008 SP1 (includes .NET Framework 3.5 SP1) (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=FBEE1648-7106-44A7-9649-6D9F6D58056E&displaylang=en)
SQL Server 2005/2008 Express Edition (or any other edition of SQL 2005/2008) (http://www.microsoft.com/express/sql/download/)
Silverlight™ 2 Tools for Visual Studio 2008 SP1 (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=C22D6A7B-546F-4407-8EF6-D60C8EE221ED&displaylang=en)

You can find the HOL manual and sample files here. There is 1 zip file containing the HOL manuals and source. I have also put the HOL manual in the directory as well for those who want them separately.

Details and directions can be found at http://www.cmap-online.org/Meetings/Details/2009-05-21.aspx.

Hope to see everyone there.
Christopher Steen
CMAP Hands On Labs Group Coordinator

If you can not put Visual Studio 2008 on your laptop, you can use the Visual Studio Team System 2008 VPC available from MSDN. You will also need to download either Virtual PC 2007 or Virtual Server 2005 R2 SP1. I suggest just downloading Virtual PC as it will be easier to set up for these particular labs. It will take some time to download these materials.
Of course, if you already have Visual Studio 2008 installed, along with SQL Server or SQL Server Express, you do not need to worry about steps 1 and 2.

Step 1: Download Virtual PC 2007 and install
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=28C97D22-6EB8-4A09-A7F7-F6C7A1F000B5&displaylang=en

Step 2: Download the Visual Studio Team System 2008 VPC, follow the instructions on the download page to extract and set up the virtual machine.

BaltoMSDN Meeting - Wednesday, May 20th - Behavior Driven Development

2009-05-18T06:11:41+00:00

When: Wednesday, May 20th, 6:30pm - 9:00pm

Where: System Source 338 Clubhouse Road, Hunt Valley, MD 21031

Topic: Behavior Driven Development

Many developers are struggling leveraging tests to drive their development as TDD suggests. Too much time is spent talking about tests and quality when the two are not synonymous. Behavior Driven Development offers a new way of approaching the same problem while shifting the emphasis towards communicating with the user through clear specifications. We will interactively build some simple functionality from the ground up using a BDD like approach during the session. Come and experience how you can improve your designs, code and experience with your users.

Presenter: Mark Lindell

Mark Lindell is a Software Architect for Phillips/VISICU. Mark has been passionate about software development for over 30 years with experience in CAD/CAM, CBT, and medical information technologies. Recently Mark has been designing and constructing a high performance blackboard engine based on Object Prevalence to analyze real-time patient medial data to provide life saving alerts to ICU physicians and nurses.

With the advent of WCF 3.5, there are now many features at your disposal to build Web 2.0-style services. This demo-heavy presentation will cover both building and consuming WCF REST services. We will dive into many of the new APIs available in the WCF REST Starter Kit with a nod to new features on the horizon in WCF 4.0. Consuming REST services will be explored through a pure AJAX jQuery client as well as a Silverlight client. The session will also give a brief introduction to ADO.NET Data Services.

Presenter: Steve Michelotti

Topic: WCF 3.5 REST

Tuesday night is not a night to rest but a night to join us for a RESTful evening of learning about a different approach to web services. You need not be a RESTifarian, but you will rest easier knowing you have REST in your toolbox.
With the advent of WCF 3.5, there are now many features at your disposal to build Web 2.0-style services. This demo-heavy presentation will cover both building and consuming WCF REST services. We will dive into many of the new APIs available in the WCF REST Starter Kit with a nod to new features on the horizon in WCF 4.0. Consuming REST services will be explored through a pure AJAX jQuery client as well as a Silverlight client. The session will also give a brief introduction to ADO.NET Data Services.

Presenter: Steve Michelotti

CMAP Main Meeting - Tuesday, March 3rd, 6:30pm - DotNetNuke, CMS for the Masses

2009-03-02T11:54:51+00:00

When: Tuesday, March 3rd, 6:30pm

Where: HCC Business Training Center, 6751 Columbia Gateway Drive, Columbia, MD 21046

Topic: DotNetNuke, CMS for the Masses

If you want a website that is dynamic, can be configured to enable access to pages and sections based on user roles, and can be modified from within the site itself, then you want a content management system (CMS). When it comes to content management systems, the list of available systems and their features is very long. But if you are looking for an award-winning, open source (i.e. "free") solution that is built on .NET, has a strong product history and user base, has a strong third-party market for add-ons, and is extensible, then DotNetNuke (DNN) is a great solution. Not only is it a great CMS out of the box, but it makes a great application framework.
In this presentation, we will demonstrate and discuss what DNN is, how to install it, use the basic features, managing information and users, and extend it when you want to create your own features.

Presenter: Hal Hayes

Hal Hayes is the VP of the Capital DotNetNuke User Group (www.capitaldug.org), and founder of the Capital Area .NET User Group (www.caparea.net). Hal is a frequent speaker in the regional area on software development including application performance, SQLCLR, XQuery, and XML. He is a senior software engineer for Progressive Data Systems in Dumfries, Va, and develops applications for USMC and DoD.

CMAP Main Meeting - Tuesday, March 3rd, 6:30pm - DotNetNuke, CMS for the masses

2009-02-25T06:03:25+00:00

When: Tuesday, March 3rd, 6:30pm

Where: HCC Business Training Center, 6751 Columbia Gateway Drive, Columbia, MD 21046

Topic: DotNetNuke, CMS for the masses

If you want a website that is dynamic, can be configured to enable access to pages and sections based on user roles, and can be modified from within the site itself, then you want a content management system (CMS). When it comes to content management systems, the list of available systems and their features is very long. But if you are looking for an award-winning, open source (i.e. "free") solution that is built on .NET, has a strong product history and user base, has a strong third-party market for add-ons, and is extensible, then DotNetNuke (DNN) is a great solution. Not only is it a great CMS out of the box, but it makes a great application framework.
In this presentation, we will demonstrate and discuss what DNN is, how to install it, use the basic features, managing information and users, and extend it when you want to create your own features.

Presenter: Hal Hayes

Hal Hayes is the VP of the Capital DotNetNuke User Group (www.capitaldug.org), and founder of the Capital Area .NET User Group (www.caparea.net). Hal is a frequent speaker in the regional area on software development including application performance, SQLCLR, XQuery, and XML. He is a senior software engineer for Progressive Data Systems in Dumfries, Va, and develops applications for USMC and DoD.

For more information about the meeting, please visit the CMAP website.
