UNPLUGGED Silverlight 3 Line of Business with RIA Services May Preview

Nigel — Thu, 04 Jun 2009 23:55:00 GMT

I have previously written about the UNPLUGGED road trip that Mike, Nathan and I have been on.

I also mentioned that I would be making a screen cast and sharing the source code from the Silverlight 3 Line of Business demo that I delivered. The demo that I presented was based on Scott Morrison’s two sessions from Tech.Ed North America.

Watch a video of my session using Smooth Streaming.

The source code for these presentations is available below:

I also updated my presentation to cover the May release of RIA Services from http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/RiaServices (this site also includes tutorials and white papers).

Take your Applications to the Cloud and Beyond – PDC, Visual Studio, Azure, Office 14 and Windows 7

Nigel — Sun, 05 Apr 2009 19:15:00 GMT

This MSDN UNPLUGGED session shares principles, practices, patterns and tools announced at the Professional Developers Conference (PDC) in Los Angeles, October 2008.

Presented by http://tr.im/MarkCarroll and http://tr.im/MikeZeff

Using computers in the cloud can make a great deal of sense. Instead of provisioning part or all of your infrastructure you can instead exploit Internet-accessible servers and let others worry about keeping systems up to scratch. But why just stop at the cloud? Some applications may have their code and data both operating in the cloud, others may run inside an organisation storing data in the cloud or relying on other cloud infrastructure services. Applications that run on desktops and mobile devices can use services in the cloud to synchronise information across many systems or in other ways. Whatever approach makes sense exploiting and extending the cloud’s capabilities can open up new choices for applications hosting, storage and interoperability.

MSNZ Unplugged - Preparing for Cloud Computing & PDC

Nigel — Thu, 23 Oct 2008 18:00:00 GMT

I have just finished a road trip talking to developers about preparing for cloud computing, Silverlight 2, IE8 and upcoming announcements at PDC.

The session is intended as a high level over-view to set the scene for the next wave of IT trends and development technologies hitting us square between the eyes at PDC in just under two weeks time.

The start of the presentation is inspired by a very popular talk that Miha Kralj gave at Tech.Ed NZ on the future of IT. I contacted Miha to see if he was comfortable representing his material on cloud computing in my unplugged session which he agreed to.
