Building RESTful services with the ADO.NET Data Services (Dutch)

Matthijs Hoekstra — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 16:13:00 GMT

Built on top of the Web Programming Model of WCF, ADO.NET Data Services is a framework for building RESTful services. In this session you will learn how to use the ADO.NET Data Services Framework to easily create and consume REST data services on the web. We will cover the main concepts of the ADO.NET Data Services and show you how to use it in WPF and Silverlight 2.0 client applications.

Deze video is opgenomen tijdens de DevDays in Den Haag in juni 2009. DevDays is het grootste evenement op het vlak van softwareontwikkeling en -architectuur in Nederland. Duizenden development professionals bezoeken dit jaarlijkse evenement om in twee dagen weer volledig op de hoogte te zijn van alle ontwikkelingen op hun vakgebied.

Navigating through the hypes, Software architectures and patterns to help avoiding your projects to crash. (Dutch)

Matthijs Hoekstra — Fri, 04 Sep 2009 13:01:00 GMT

When it comes to .Net software development, more and more frameworks enter the market. Both from Microsoft and in open source. Just think of all the very useful frameworks, such as ASP.NET MVC, Castle, WF, Entity Framework, Unity, Linq2SQL, ADO.NET Data Services, WCF, nHibernate, Spring.NET, CSLA, NUnit, Enterprise Library or ADF. Once a project chooses to apply one or more frameworks, trouble begins. What if you require additional features that aren’t implemented in the framework? What if you decide that another framework would have been better and want to switch halfway your project? What if the author of your favorite open source framework suddenly stops developing? What if the framework contains bugs or omissions? And what if a new version of the framework is released that is implemented totally different? These and many more everyday problems will cause your project to come to a halt, or at least make you perform serious refactoring. During this highly interactive talk Sander Hoogendoorn, principal technology officer at Capgemini, chief architect of Capgemini’s agile Accelerated Delivery Platform, and member of Microsoft’s Visual Studio Advisory Board, will demonstrate pragmatic software architectures and patterns that will help your projects to stay away from framework problems, and how to keep your code independent of framework choices. In his well known slightly ironic style Sander will present different models of layered architectures, and explain and use bridge patterns, managers, dependency injection, descriptors, and layer super-types. Of course, the speaker will illustrate these insightful patterns with lots of demo’s and (bad) code examples using blocks from Microsoft’s Enterprise Library, nHibernate, Log4Net, and the Entity Framework. Delegates will benefit from this talk by learning how to improve the structure and quality of their software architecture and code, and how to avoid the pitfalls of applying frameworks to .Net software development.

Consuming data over the web between PHP and .NET with REST and ADO.NET Data Services

Jean-Christophe Cimetiere — Fri, 21 Aug 2009 15:32:00 GMT

Claudio Caldato, Senior Program Manager in the Interoperability Technical Strategy team and Pablo Castro, software architect of ADO.NET Data Services introduce a new project that bridges PHP and .NET: the Toolkit for PHP with ADO.NET Data Services.

The PHP Toolkit is an open source project available on Codeplex at phpdataservices.codeplex.com. The goal is to make it easier for PHP developers to take advantage of the ADO.NET Data Services (ADO.NET Data Services offer a simple way to expose any sort of data in a RESTful way, more details here).

The video starts with a quick introduction and architecture white boarding session, followed by a demo.

Enjoy!

Fastest To Market: RAD Web Applications with ASP.NET Dynamic Data and Entity Framework

Matthijs Hoekstra — Sat, 20 Jun 2009 09:20:00 GMT

For some applications, time to market is simply critical. If your application is heavily-data driven and backed by a well-designed database schema, you could help yourself a lot be looking at the dynamic duo of ASP.NET Dynamic Data and the ADO.NET Entity Framework. Together, these two technologies allow you to build data driven websites ... quicker than anytime before. In this session, Ingo Rammer will show you how to combine the flexibility of ASP.NET with these new features for quickly building data-driven web sites. (And yes, it even allows you to simply embed a few RAD pages in your big, existing ASP.NET application).

This video is recorded at the Dutch DevDays in Den Haag The Netherlands in June 2009. DevDays is the largest industry event for developers in the Netherlands. Thousands of professional developers visit DevDays yearly to keep in touch with the latest developments in their field.

Northeast Roadshow - Silverlight with WCF, WCF REST, and ADO.NET Data Services

Brian Johnson — Mon, 27 Apr 2009 02:40:00 GMT

Once the initial allure of the cool graphics and animation capabilities of Silverlight has passed, you’ll probably say to yourself, "Hey, my app needs data too!" Well, this session delivers on that – not once, not twice, but thrice! We’ll look at accessing remote data services from Silverlight using a standard SOAP-based WCF service, then graduate to creating and consuming a RESTful service via the WCF REST Starter Kit, and end by accessing an Entity Framework model fronted by an ADO.NET Data Service.

Fully functional demo code is available at Code Gallery for those of you that want to tinker with the application as you watch the screen cast.

Northeast Roadshow - REST

Brian Johnson — Mon, 13 Apr 2009 13:43:00 GMT

REST (Representational State Transfer) is all the rage as a lightweight, web service architecture that relies on existing web standards such as HTTP and XML.

In this session, you’ll get insight into the roots of REST, including its four main tenets, and be able to critically discern how “RESTful” various external offerings are. Also covered are new features in .NET that align to RESTful approaches for data and service access including the WCF REST Starter Kit and ADO.NET Data Services.

deCast - Entity Framework Modeling: Importing Select Stored Procedures

Rob Bagby — Fri, 13 Mar 2009 12:32:00 GMT

The Entity Framework supports both select and action stored procedures. We covered action stored procedures in a previous screencast. In this screencast, Rob Bagby will illustrate how to import select stored procedures. However, the entity framework goes beyond simply importing and executing stored procedures. You have the ability to map the result to an entity type which gives you some unique abilities. We will explore some of these abilities in this screencast. You can view a blog post on this subject here.

deCast - Entity Framework Modeling: Mapping Action Stored Procedures

Rob Bagby — Thu, 12 Mar 2009 18:28:00 GMT

For years, you have heard about the benefits of using Stored Procedures to access your database. In this screencast, Rob Bagby will illustrate the default behavior of the Entity Framework when dealing with actions such as insert, update and delete. Rob will then discuss some concerns you may have and how you can address these by mapping in action stored procedures. You can read the blog post about this subject here. Rob will illustrate how to import select stored procedures in another deCast.

deCast - Entity Framework Modeling: Implementing Table Per Hierarchy

Rob Bagby — Wed, 11 Mar 2009 15:57:00 GMT

The Entity Framework provides the ability to model rich conceptual layers that meet the needs of our applications. One such model is table-per-hierarchy inheritance. In this model, the data for a hierarchy are stored in one table. This table has a discriminator column that indicates the "type" of each record. In this screencast, Rob Bagby will illustrate how to implement table-per-hierarchy inheritance with the entity framework. Click here to see Rob's blog post on the same subject.

deCast - Entity Framework Modeling: Implementing Entity Splitting

Rob Bagby — Mon, 09 Mar 2009 13:22:00 GMT

The Entity Framework provides the ability to model rich conceptual layers that meet the needs of our applications. One such model is Entity Splitting. In this model, a single entity in the conceptual layer is mapped to multiple tables in the store. In this screencast, Rob Bagby will illustrate how to implement entity splitting with the entity framework. Click here to see Rob's blog post on the same subject.

deCast - Entity Framework Modeling: Implementing Table Per Type

Rob Bagby — Fri, 06 Mar 2009 14:47:00 GMT

The Entity Framework provides the ability to model rich conceptual layers that meet the needs of our applications. One such model is table-per-type inheritance. In this model, each entity is mapped to a distinct table in the store. Each table contains all of the properties for the entity, as well as a key that maps ultimately to its' root table / entity. In this screencast, Rob Bagby will illustrate how to implement table-per-type inheritance with the entity framework. Click here to see Rob's blog post on the same subject.

Offline-Enabled Data Services and Desktop Applications

System — Wed, 29 Oct 2008 16:37:47 GMT

The ADO.NET Data Services Framework (a.k.a. Project "Astoria") introduced a way of creating and consuming flexible, data-centric REST services. By combining data services with the Microsoft Sync Framework, learn how to create offline-capable applications that have a local replica of their data, how to synchronize that replica with an online data service when a network connection becomes available, and how replicas can be used with the ADO.NET Entity Framework. Also, hear us talk about our plans, see the tools that help client- and server-side setup, and discuss the runtime components and APIs.
