Raleigh Code Camp |
| April 19 | Ken Spencer
of 32X should have
presented Visual Studio 2005 at the Greenville/Spartanburg
Enterprise Developers Guild.
Ken is an excellent speaker who is routinely used at many of the "big"
conferences. However - if I understand correctly, he
cancelled. The morale is that you should watch out for updates on the main site for any event to be as up-to-date with changes as possible... |
| April 30 | Charlotte
Code Camp. Sign ups were through the
listing on msevents.microsoft.com. Slides etc. from
the presentations will be posted at the Enterprise Developers' Guild's Code Camp
web site. We had at least 8 people from Columbia
there. It
was a great event and it is expected to be repeated next year. |
| May
14 |
Atlanta Code Camp - SOLD OUT. To join the waiting list, click here. |
| May
17 |
MSDN Event in Greenville, SC. Select your location of choice (i.e. Greenville) from the dropdown, and plan on spending some quality time with Glen Gordon. |
| May

David
Chappell is visiting Atlanta
on an Indigo tour. If our last meeting peeked your interest,
this
may be for you. This is listed on their calendar
as: Special .Net UG meeting with David Chapell 6:30 PM-9:30 PM (Microsoft Offices) In Atlanta, of course... :-> |
| August 20 |
Mini Code Camp in Charlotte, NC |
| August 25 | MSDN Event in Atlanta, GA It's time to leave if you plan to make it to the MSDN Event in Atlanta! |
| August 30 | The "Get
Ready for SQL Server 2005" Roadshow in Atlanta |
| September 1 | Sorry - NO MSDN in Columbia, SC |
| September 1 | Sorry - NO DotNet Columbia SC User Group
Meeting |
| September 17 | Code
Camp in Charleston, SC * This is a MUST DO event! In fact, we may use some trivia from this code camp to pick a winner in our October drawing... Where else do you get a full day with multiple tracks of top-notch presentations - AND LUNCH - for free? And take this opportunity to spend some relaxing time in beautiful Charleston. Make it a weekend trip. Send your family to the Market and shopping for antiques while you and I enjoy our time in the presence of great .Net thinkers. Or if you like to suffer, just roll out of bed at a leisurely 6 AM, skip shower and breakfast and race south/east on I-26. If you do skip the shower, we at least recommend a light application of deodorant. Toothpaste is recommended in either case... :-> |
| September 20 | MSDN Event in High Point,
NC Still a driveable distance - it starts at 1 PM. 3 hrs and 49 minutes with Google. If you get through Charlotte OK, I'd think that would leave time to stop and fill up (tank or stomach) on the way. In any case - you'll have time for both a shower and breakfast before you leave...;-> |
| November 7 - 10 | Visual Studio
2005, SQL Server 2005 are launched at DevConnections
in Las Vegas. Not exactly a local event for us, but the date
(November 7th) may be worth observing. |
| November 10 | MSDN Event in Charlotte - "Best of " from the Launch event. This is the closest launch event under the MSDN Event umbrella. |
| November 10 | The Greater Charleston .NET User Group holds their Community Launch Event. |
| November 29 | Microsoft's READY
Launch Tour 2005 reaches Atlanta - where they present Visual Studio
2005, SQL Server 2005 and BizTalk Server 2006. The actual
launch
date - as you may know - is November 7th - and the main launch will be
in Las Vegas. But following that, they take the launch
package on
tour to a number of cities. |
The Code Camps are events put on for developers by developers. They are free, but have limited seating.
Each code camp tends to have their own web site, but you can also stay tuned to www.msdncodecamp.com.

| ASP.Net 2.0 - Tobin Titus Get Ready, Set, Listen! VS 2005 is approaching fast. For some (those with MSDN subscriptions) it is already here. We'll have our Launch event in December, but we'll take a peek at ASP.NET 2.0 with one of the co-authors for the VS 2005 certification exam. Tobin Titus has co-authored several books, and his company Mint Hill Solutions provides web hosting, training, consulting, and custom solutions. He is Microsoft certified both as a Developer and as a Trainer. Tobin co-authored not only "VB.NET Threading Handbook", "C# Threading Handbook", "Beginning Web Development with VB.NET and Visual Studio .NET", "Pro .NET 1.1 Remoting Reflection and Threading", but he also co-authored the Microsoft Certification Exams for VS.NET 2005. |

| .Net Encryption You Can Use - John Lunsford The .Net framework offers extremely powerful encryption functionality. However, harnessing this power in real-world applications can still be a headache, especially for developers who have not dealt with encryption before. This session will use real-world code examples to demonstrate how you can use .Net’s encryption functionality to make your applications more secure. Covered topics will include private key encryption, public key encryption, certificate consumption, the Windows CryptoAPI and more… John Lunsford works as a Solutions Developer for Blackbaud Professional Services where he specializes in developing custom software to meet client needs. Before coming to Blackbaud earlier this year, John worked for Edfinancial Services in Knoxville, TN where he developed web-based enterprise applications. John has been developing software with .Net technologies for over three years. John was singled out as a top presenter by one of our members attending the Charleston Code Camp as well as by Theo Moore in his Blog. We are excited to have him as our featured presenter for October. |

This presentation is not just about the Compact Framework. It is also about SQL Mobile, and about Service Oriented Architecture and the Compact Framework. While mobile apps are still in their infancy, this is an exploding market. As a developer, there are several considerations that we don't usually need to worry about when developing for a "full size" computer. Optimization, resources, and conveniences are at a minimum. Get the heads up from someone who has "been there, done that". |
AND, for those of you who enjoyed your humble organizer's peek into the wireless crystal ball and asked for the slides - you can find them through the link below (PowerPoint Slide show, large download not recommended for slow connections): Inspect-our Gadgets (1.3 Mb) |

Bill provides an overview of design patterns (not to be confused with the Microsoft Patterns & Practices). Based on the book "Design Patterns - Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software" by Erich Gamma, Richard Helm, Ralph Johnson, and John Vlissides (also known as "the Gang of Four"), he provides some very useful hints as to how to get started - and introduces the 23 original patterns. |

I'm sure
some of you have heard about "the DataGrid
Girl" - I know I had - and she has agreed to come to Columbia and
present to our meeting in June. Despite her young age, Marcie
has
made herself a name on the web as well as on the speaker
circuit.
She has recently moved to Atlanta, where I met her at a recent
Microsoft dinner. Check out her datagridgirl.com

ASP.NET
2.0 Membership and Profile Features ASP.NET narrowed the
gap between developing Web applications and Windows applications, and
in many ways made the web developer's world easier. In
ASP.NET
2.0, Microsoft introduces some productivity "tools" that are targeted
towards common web development tasks - and thus somehow
widened
the gap again. Anyway - one of these productivity
improvements is the introduction of the Membership and Profile
features. Learn how it
works and see how you can put it to use in your applications. Michael
Earls is a Microsoft
technology solutions consultant working for Magenic Technologies.
He began his software development career in 1996 when Microsoft
launched the Activate
the Internet campaign. At that time he was
a developer on one of the first online catalogs for an international
publishing company. His industry experience includes
financial
services, supply chain management, consumer marketing services,
e-commerce, Internet services, travel services, and
telecommunications. He enjoys building puppets and composing
electronic music in his spare time. |
Dennis
Hurst,
Senior Consulting Engineer at S.P.I. Dynamics Incorporated will present Live Hacking Demo: Top
Web App Attack Methods and How to Combat Them. It's
been estimated that three-fourths of today's successful system hacks
are perpetrated not via network security flaws, but by entering
directly through the "front door" - exploiting vulnerabilities in
customer-facing web applications. As a developer, I will watch this session and others like it until I can repeat it in my sleep. And any manager responsible for development, security, operation, or maintenance of a website should watch this. Some big hitters have been subject to these types of attacks... |
Doug Turnure,
Developer Evangelist with Microsoft will present A preview of
Indigo and the future of Service Oriented Architecture.
Indigo
is the code name for a coming framework that will represent the
standard for service-oriented architectures on the Windows
platform.
This talk will introduce the libraries, discussing both how and why to
use them. It will show the architecture for Indigo, and discuss how to
move from today's solutions to tomorrow's secure, reliable, transacted
world.
