A big thanks to everyone who attended my two sessions at Tech Ed Orlando on CardSpace. I also really enjoyed all of the great questions during and after each session, I can see a lot of momentum building around CardSpace, other identity selectors and providers, and approaches to federated identity models. Very exciting stuff indeed.

As for my code, as I said I had already posted the code beforehand, but I have updated the ASP.NET sample slightly to reflect how I associated the username and password with a unique identifier for a personal card. You can download the latest version of my CardSpace samples here.

Enjoy!

Please see this updated post from the Dev Connections conference in Orlando (just past) for the code samples and references for the performance talk I stepped in to do. Some people were asking me about the post, and the update had not shown up on the blog...now it is there :)

See this link.

This is great news from Soma's blog. Now Expression Web and Blend (soon) will be available to MSDN Premium subscribers. Many of us have been hearing feedback on the subject and relaying this feedback to Microsoft...nice to know they are listening!

Once again a fantastic conference in Orlando. Dev Connections just keeps getting better and I always enjoy being part of it. Not to mention the weather in Orlando isn't bad!

Here are links to my code samples for each talk I delivered. Enjoy!

.NET Technology Roadmap Tutorial

ASP.NET and WCF

ASP.NET and CardSpace

WCF Federated Security

 WCF Contracts and Versioning

ASP.NET Performance (Updated 06/07/2007)

Ok people, I had this in my Windows Live Writer to send a long time ago, and somehow it did not post...but since I haven't posted in a while I didn't notice. Many apologies for the delay. Does the "better late than never" statement apply here? I hope so...

I just spent the last week at SD West in San Jose...this year the conference was bigger than ever before! Thanks to everone that attended my tutorials and sessions, I really enjoyed the questions and discussions...as I hope you did. As promised, here is a list of all my resources from the conference talks. Enjoy!

 

Intro to Web Services (Tutorial)

  • Christian Gross and myself presented this one, discussing everything from POX, REST, RSS, SOAP/WSDL, WS* and SOA.
  • Code I demonstrated in this tutorial is from the .NET Web Services tutorial next.

.NET Web Services TODAY (Tutorial)

Microsoft Technology Avalanche (Tutorial)

Top 10 Web Service Standards You Need To Know

WCF Contracts and Versioning

  • Demonstrations in both of these talks are based on WCF code from my book here: http://www.thatindigogirl.com/LearningWCFCode.aspx
  • See \Security, \ReliableSessions, \Transactions in particular for the WS* discussion
  • See \DataContracts, \AdvancedSerialization, and \ServiceContracts for the contracts discussion

The Amazing World of Federated Security

I created a presentation in November of last year with the goal of helping folks make sense of the vast number of Microsoft technologies from development tools, language, data, windows, web and SOA development. This blog post holds the latest links to resources and code for each section.

System Requirements

The links below use the following technology platforms:

Development Tools

In this section I reviewed the stack of development tools and explained how to choose between them.

Language Enhancements

In this section I talked about moving from .NET 1.1 to 2.0, and discussed the key features of 2.0 that folks should be leveraging. Then, I focused on the language enhancements forthcoming with C# 3.0 and VB 9.0.

Demos:

Data Access

In this section I focused on data access technologies, designing the data access tier, and key features of ADO.NET 2.0, vNext and LINQ to give you some idea how to prepare for the next set of innovations.

Demos:

  • When you install ADO.NET vNext and LINQ there are literally 100s of samples that will really help you get up to speed here. I show a selection of these in this presentation.

Windows Development

In this section I review Windows Forms 2.0 innovations, primarily ClickOnce, and then talk about how to prepare for WPF, explaining the various deployment models. I also talk about practical approaches to choosing the right platform for your development efforts.

Demos:


Web Development

In this section I showed an ASP.NET sample application that illustrates key features of ASP.NET 2.0 and practical application of those features. Then we looked at AJAX and discussed trends on the Web compared to Windows development.

Popular AJAX Frameworks:

Demos:

Distributed System Programming

In this section I reviewed the typical use for earlier distributed computing technologies like remoting, enterprise services and ASMX web services with WSE, and compared them with WCF.

BPM and Workflow

In this section I discussed BPM, BizTalk and workflow and trends for BizTalk vNext.

DinnerNow

To pull it all together, there is a sample you can download here: www.dinnernow.com that illustrates all of the technologies in a practical example. It includes WCF, WF, WPF, AJAX, Vista gadgets and mobile apps.

I have at long last finished the final edits on my WCF book! Whew!

 

Now, you can get early access to the entire book online at O'Reilly here:

http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/9780596101626/

 

In addition, I have posted the code for the book, with instructions to set up examples, here:

I hope you enjoy!

My sincerest thanks to both groups in Denver and Boulder for having me visit this week to talk about WCF. As promised here are the links to my slides from both talks:

WCF Overview

WCF Contracts and Versioning

 

As for the code, here is a link to all the code for my Learning WCF book:

A big thanks to all the participated in this monstrous tutorial at Dev Connections. Whew, I can fully admit it was a lot of work to put all the information together in one place, but I hope that you got a lot out of it. For those that didn't attend, the goal of the tutorial was to provide an overview of the current state of the various technologies and tools for Microsoft developers, with an emphasis on the reasons for moving forward with each technology stack, and hopefully some enlightenment on when you might choose each technology. I'll be keeping this one day session current for future conferences, and for on-site sessions with clients. If you are interested in such a thing, contact me at IDesign: www.idesign.net.

Here are the resources I promised from the tutorial.
