Rx-Winrt

Jim Wooley — Mon, 21 May 2012 20:33:58 GMT

Windows 8 Metro (WinRT) samples for Reactive Extensions (Rx). These samples were built using the Windows 8 Consumer Preview, Visual Studio 2011 Beta, and the experimental Beta for Rx 2.0 as introduced on the Rx Blog. I make no promises that these bits will continue to function once any of those systems are updated. In addition to those environments, you will also need to get your own Bing AppId if you want to use the Bing Translator sample.

RxJs

Jim Wooley — Fri, 19 Aug 2011 12:36:12 GMT

Slides and samples demonstrating some of the uses of the Reactive Extensions for JavaScript (RxJs). The samples illustrate using RxJs for LINQ style queries, Timer based web page rotator, Mock observable sensor, Mose drag drop, Dictionary Suggest, and Bing Translator over multiple languages.

AsyncProgramming

RX_Wpf

Jim Wooley — Wed, 08 Jun 2011 15:55:47 GMT

Reactive Framework samples from the "Becoming an RxPusher with the Reactive Framework" talk. With the emergence of LINQ, we discovered the power and flexibility that comes from the IEnumerable interface. This pull model makes iterating over sets of data and performing filtering, transformation, and aggregation operations easy through LINQ. However, the pull model breaks down in asynchronous and event driven environments. In evaluating the options, we discovered that the IObserverable interface and the push model were effectively analogous to the pull model of IEnumerable. As a result, we can make event driven asynchronous progamming easier and more declarative by using the Reactive Framework and LINQ to Events.

RX_Silverlight

Jim Wooley — Wed, 08 Jun 2011 13:47:37 GMT

ParallelAsync

Jim Wooley — Mon, 06 Jun 2011 10:59:48 GMT

Slides and samples for the Parallel vs. Async Programming in .Net. The samples require LinqPad 4 to run. The C# 5 Async/Await sample is not included. Instead, you can read the whitepaper from Microsoft which walks you through the process of moving from callbacks through Task based Async to C#5 syntax. The Rx Translator example is available in the RxPhone samples on this site.

EfTestability

Jim Wooley — Sun, 05 Jun 2011 18:22:39 GMT

Slides and sample projects illustrating some options you have for testing Entity Framework models. The samples illustrate some ways that you can perform unit testing with and without abstracting the Entity Framework into repositories. NOTE: One test in the solution intentionaly fails to illustrate how you should write your test so that it fails first. Once you write your implemntation, the test should pass. In the EDMX based models, you can generate the database using the "Generate Model From Database" option in the designer.

LinqScalability

Jim Wooley — Fri, 06 Aug 2010 21:19:15 GMT

When LINQ arrived in 2008, we were given a new declarative model to perform set based operations. As we begin to use it more in our applications we start to see the performance implications of using this model in our applications. This session will look at options we have to improve our performance by improving our code, using hash tables with I40, scaling up with PLINQ, scaling out with Dryad and asynchronous operations with Rx. By the end of this session, you should have an understanding of when to use each of these new and emerging technologies to improve your LINQ code.

EF4

Jim Wooley — Fri, 06 Aug 2010 21:14:46 GMT

Prior to the first release of the Entity Framework, a number of people voiced objections in a ""Vote of no confidence"". With the release of 2010, the Entity Framework has seen significant enhancements which address many of these concerns. In this session, we'll look at the concerns and show some of the changes that were made in EF 4.0 as a result

DynamicVb

Jim Wooley — Thu, 22 Jul 2010 22:07:27 GMT

Slides and Demos for the talk, "Dynamic Programming in a Statically Typed World with VB 10" - One of the key pillars of .NET 4.0 is the inclusion of dynamic language support. Many languages have tended to stick to static or dynamic typing. Visual Basic is uniquely positioned to stradle the fence and work equally well in both the staic and dynamic worlds. We will show how to take advantage of the new dynamic language enhancements in VB 10. We'll also demonstrate some cases where you should and shouldn't use these dynamic features.
