Webcast / וידאו – Silverlight 2.0 מודל השכבות

במסגרת זו נראה אחד מרעיונות הארכיטקטורה הבסיסיים ביותר – מודל השכבות. במקרה שלנו LinqToSql ישמש לנו כשכבת ה DataAccesLayer ( ה DAL ) , ה WCF כגורם המכיל את ה BusinessLogic ונותן השירות המתאים, ולבסוף התצוגה תהיה כמובן בעזרת Silverlight. כאשר, במסגרת הסרטון נראה את אחד הרכיבים האהודים על כולנו – DataGrid.
הסרטון מסתמך על הבנה מסרטונים קודמים: חיבור רכיבים חיצוניים מסרטון ה GridSpliter , קריאה ל CrossDomain WebService,הכרות עם משטח העבודה של Grid ב Silverlight והבנה כללית של WCF ו LinqToSql.

.NET Framework 4.0 – What’s ahead ? (1st thought)

.NET Framework 4.0 – What’s ahead ? (1st thought)

Just incase you had your doubt , this is my personal perspective of what’s ahead.

Ok, we all know my perspective about the architectural aspects that .NET 4.0 would bring from:

Dublin + .NET Framework 4.0 = "BizTalk/SOA Express Framework" ! (part 4)
.NET Framework 4.0 = "BizTalk/SOA Express Framework" ? PART3
.NET Framework 4.0 = "BizTalk/SOA Express Framework" ? PART2
.NET Framework 4.0 = "BizTalk/SOA Express Framework" ?

But what about the core it self ? well I have come across this article today Parallel Extensions part of the .NET Framework 4.0, Now considering the fact that:

Support for LINQ is intergraded into Silverlight 2.0 ( = LINQ is lightweight + LINQ is too important not to include + … )
I do expect that LinqToXml would be the core processing for XML based messages ( and XML based messaging is here from the WCF part )
And now the Parallel Extensions were known as PLINQ
LINQ was released in the .NET 3.5 ( as opposed Entity Framework which was postponed to SP1 ) show the maturity which was needed from the technology/platform

I have a feeling that LINQ together with WCF Messaging would be the Core of the .NET 4.0 Framework.

Linq In Action

Linq In Action

Linq In Action What can I say - A GREAT BOOK. Loved it, liked it - if you want to get into LINQ regardless of your previous knowledge THIS IS THE BOOK FOR YOU !!

As opposed to the competition, Pro LINQ: Language Integrated Query in C# 2008 - Book review, Linq In Action is if you want to learn LINQ, the former is more "Pro" which means you know LINQ and want to upgrade your skill - thus creating both books a complete set =).
One, is to get you started and REALY UNDERSTAND (!) , while the other is more "you know, you understand, you've worked with it in more then one project - and you want MORE"

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the authors of Linq In Action as well as Ron Tomich from Manning for giving me the opportunity to review this book -
thanks guys =)

p.s. : the book has a web site of it's own http://linqinaction.net/ - just pure genius !

MSDN Pulse

MSDN Pulse

WOW , The first edition of the MSDN Pulse Israel (MSDN Pulse April 2008 Edition) has been released and TWO (!) of my webcasts are in it :

This fact, and the fact that most developers are using Visual Studio Pro and above had lead me to the decision that I should open another BLOG which would be called "Visual How Tos" which would contain more regular developer stuff like WCF full series, WF full series, Sharepoint , BizTalk. Regardless, each video which can be built using the Express edition would be posted in the dotNetExpress BLOG ( from which these Webcasts were taken ).

LinqToSql - C# vs VB Architecture Consideration : Cache Feature

LinqToSql - C# vs VB Architecture Consideration : Cache Feature

One of the most common Architecture considerations when building a new Application is what is the quality of the Developers them selves - Well some of the times they are VB.NET programmers ( which I didn't say is a bad thing ). Well I had the opportunity to work with VB.NET programmers.

What can I say , once in a while it happens to me too - when talking in English I'm sometimes translating a Hebrew sentence into English as is ( and I'm talking about US English ! British ? I have to brush up a bit ). Never mind, going back to our subject - LinqToSql - it seems that if you do the same for LinqToSql in C# to VB9 : YOU SHOULD LOOK UNDER THE HOOD MORE CAREFULLY !
