Summary
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
At PDC09 Microsoft announced the new Windows Server AppFabric. Windows Server AppFabric is a set of integrated technologies that make it easier to build, scale and manage Web and composite applications that run on IIS. For Web applications, AppFabric provides caching capabilities to provide high-speed access, scale, and high availability to application data. This feature was previously codenamed "Velocity". For composite applications, AppFabric makes it easier to build and manage services built using Windows Workflow Foundation and Windows Communication Foundation. This feature was previously codenamed "Dublin." Now people are asking, what exactly is AppFabric and how will it change the way you build applications in the future? In this talk you will get the answers to this and many other questions about AppFabric, Windows Workflow 4 and WCF.

Summary
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Version 1 of Windows Workflow Foundatoin was released in 2006 as part of the .NET framework 3.0. Like many v1 products, its adoption has not yet reached the mainstream of application developers. Microsoft intends to change this with the new release of the .NET framework 4.0. We will take a look at what is currently available in the current WF release, examine the benfits of using WF over traditional imperative programming, and look forward to changes and features available in the next version.

Summary
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Implementing a Service Oriented Architecture can seem like a daunting task; however, if one starts with a single business process and takes an iterative approach, the chances of success improve significantly. In this presentation, we will explore ‘starting small' by decomposing a business process and designing services to facilitate it. We will demonstrate how this ‘middle-out' approach can be extended in subsequent iterations to continuously add value and align to business objectives.

Cloud Computing with Windows Azure
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
When: Thursday February 5th, 2009 - 6:00pm - 8:00pm
Where: Microsoft Office - Columbus (Address Below)
Windows Azure is Microsoft's cloud computing platform. At this meeting, you will hear about Microsoft's vision of Software + Services and what it can mean for you. As part of this presentation, you’ll see a demo of how a cloud application is developed and deployed. Cloud computing has huge implications for both developers and business people. This is your chance to get in on the ground floor and be part of the community that helps pioneer this exciting new area.
Does cloud computing offer anything compelling for you, your business or your customers?
Cloud computing with Windows Azure provides technologists with new options for where applications reside, how applications behave, and the business models that drive them. Cloud computing eliminates the need to predict traffic levels, purchase hardware or hosting capacity in advance, and keep OS’s patched. Applications are given the capacity they need on demand. You only pay for computing and storage you use. Some of the most difficult and costly things to achieve in I.T. such as high availability and ensuring scalability are no longer headaches the enterprise has to deal with. Scalability, reliability, and high availability come with the platform automatically.
