Clemens Vasters: Enterprise Development & Alien Abductions

Donnerstag, 5. Juni 2003

Thank you, Julia. I am glad you liked my TechEd sessions and thank you for the kind words :) However ...

What is so strange is that I cannot get used to seeing him open up and work in Visual Studio. Why on earth is that? Perhaps it is something to do with the level of what he is talking about that it is bigger than coding, so though he obviously needs to code to put the concepts in action, it just seems almost mundane in comparison to the concepts.

Hmmm .... I am not sure whether I agree here. Most of the things that I talked about were really about code all the way and then I can just as well show some (or flood the audience with codce as in WEB404). The takeaway are the concepts. My job is to bring lesser known things into the limelight. In that I do agree.

TechEd / DEV359, WEB404 related code

Earlier builds and some explanation of the stuff that I have been showing in the talks can be found here (Enterprise Services AOP) and there (Web Services Extensibility). These builds are for Visual Studio .NET 2002. The builds for the new version will -- as said -- be available some time next week. Don't complain... it's free stuff, after all ;)

TechEd / Getting stuff out the door: Code for DEV357

Pending a more polished and documented version (which I'll publish some time next week), here's "just" the zipped up directory with the code from the DEV357 session (Building distributed apps). 41 C# files, 375KB of source code. Way too much ;)

The code for DEV359 and WEB404 is a bit more difficult to pack up, because it's much harder to deploy and get to work without a proper installer. Unfortunately all WMI support for the Framework died on this machine this week ("Provider load failure") and is fubar and therefore I can't test the installation procedures to put stuff into machine.config. So that may have to wait until next week :(
