Domain Events TechFest Update

Last Friday I presented on Domain Events at the Northwest Arkansas Techfest and there was a lot of interest and good discussions.  Thanks to everyone who attended the session.  I have updated the nuget packages to the latest release and have created some initial documentation located here.  From there you can find links to the project site (full source available) and wiki. 

The source also includes an example application as well as the demo script for the demo I used in my presentation.  The demo script is step by step instructions to re-create the demo from the presentation.

As I mentioned in the session this code is publicly available and I do accept feature and pull request, see the project wiki for how you can contribute.

This Friday, August 24, 2012 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM

I will be presenting two sessions at this years Northwest Arkansas Techfest.  If you haven’t already head on over to http://nwatechfest.com and register.  This year is looking like it will be even bigger than events in the past.  Go out and support your local technology conference and help make this an awesome event.

Here is the information about the sessions I will be presenting.

0 to 60 With Highway.Data

In this session we will take an look at Highway.Data and how it makes it easy to get up and running with Entity Framework. Highway.Data is part of the Highway Framework being developed by Tim Rayburn and Devlin Liles. This framework pulls together all the best practices of their Entity Framework 4.1 Expert's Cookbook book into a framework that makes consuming data much easier. This session will cover the newly release version 2.0 of Highway.Data.

Track: Big and Small Data
Time: 1:00 PM

Domain Eventing, Using Domain Events to create more composable applications.

In this session I will present a strategy I have implemented for using events in the domain model to make applications more composable. Domain Events allow you define system events and then implement handlers that take action when those events occur.

Track: Advanced Development
Time: 2:00 PM

I’d love to have you stop my one of my sessions and give feedback on the content and direction.  Each of my sessions is already or working toward creating a reusable library that will be made available via nuget.  So, your input at this stage can influence future releases.

The Creamy Goodness of NuGet

NuGet has quickly become one of my favorite extensions for Visual Studio.  Not only has it made it easy to add commonly used OSS libraries to your projects it has made them discoverable.

About NuGet: NuGet is a free, open source developer focused package management system for the .NET platform intent on simplifying the process of incorporating third party libraries into a .NET application during development.

There are a large number of useful 3rd party open source libraries out there for the .NET platform, but for those not familiar with the OSS ecosystem, it can be a pain to pull these libraries into a project.  NuGet automates most of this and makes it easy to add libraries for common task.

Here is what you will learn:

What is NuGet?

  • How to add packages to your project
  • How to update packages in your project
  • How to host your own package repository
  • How to create and publish your own packages
