DevConnections Orlando Slides and Demos

I spoke this week at DevConnections in Orlando. As always a great time and a good show. For those that attended my talks, thanks for the great participation and questions! For those that didn't, you really need to work harder on convincing your boss to send you to a DevConnections conference. The line up of speakers is amazing and the venue is always great.

 

The three talks I gave were on building custom activities in WF, WPF Tools, and Service Oriented workflows.

 

You can grab the slides and demos from the links below.

Developing Applications with Windows Workflow Foundation LiveLesson

My latest publishing project, which I haven't talked about much on the blog, is a LiveLesson training DVD on WF. This product has now released and you can find all the details here:

http://www.awprofessional.com/title/0321503139

It contains about 5 hours of video instruction on the breadth of WF, including sequential workflows, state machine workflows, showing how to use each of the base activity library activities, how to communicate with workflows, how to handle exceptions, custom activities, and much more. Because of the length of the instruction, it is more of a shallow dive into each of the topics to get you started, rather than being very deep in any one area. The content is mostly Camtasia screen capture while demonstrating the techniques being discussed.

There is also a sample lesson available through YouTube:

http://www.youtube.com/livelessons

If you are getting started using WF, this would be a good way to get bootstrapped.

Spread the word!

Slides and demos from Cleveland .NET SIG

I gave a talk on WPF for ASP.NET developers this evening at the .NET SIG in Cleveland. Good size crowd and great questions. It was a challenging talk because of trying to cover all of WPF and Silverlight for ASP.NET developers and for those in the crowd who were Windows Forms developers.

I covered the various deployment models of WPF including:

- Windows Application

- XAML Browser Application (XBAP)

- Plain Old XAML Page (POXP?)

- Silverlight App

Whenever I present this stuff, the overwhelming reaction is: Stop giving us so many choices!!! We can't figure out what to use when!

There is also often a desire for a conclusion to be drawn that one of these will be the end state and all UI will be written in it. I just don't think that will be the case. I think that maybe 5 years from now, if the tools come along a lot farther than they are now, and if the control suite grows, the list of options could shorten to just WPF Windows App, Silverlight App, and ASP.NET AJAX app. But I don't think it will shrink beyond that. Windows Apps make sense when you control the desktop to take maximum advantage of the client platform and give the best user experience. Silverlight makes sense for broader reach while sticking to the same tools and programming models. ASP.NET AJAX will be broader still and will address the platforms that Silverlight can't reach, and will also (like Windows Forms) be more evolved for data over forms apps for a while to come.

Anyway, here are the slides and demos for those who are interested:

Silverlight - not just pretty graphics - Cross platform .NET Framework!

Watching Scott Guthrie's keynote at Mix07 right now. The word is finally out - and wow. Silverlight is not just a Flash alternative - it is a cross platform, cross browser .NET runtime and framework. C#, VB, any .NET language driving display in the browser, running on the client side, on other platforms.

Beta for 1.0 is out today, available on www.silverlight.net.

You can even debug cross platform with the .NET code running in a Mac browser. I think we are not far from stepping through the time space continuum now...

Administering ClickOnce Deployments whitepaper

I wrote a whitepaper on administering ClickOnce deployments earlier this year for the product team. It took a bit for it to get through the MSDN publishing process, but it is finally available.

 

You can check it out here:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnwinforms/html/admincodep.asp

This whitepaper covers handling tracking and authentication of users on the deployment server, as well as giving an explanation of what is going on under the covers during the publishing and deployment process.

Enjoy!

I love the smell of fresh hot bits in the morning...

If you haven't stumbled on the top link on the MSDN homepage in the last 24 hours... WinFX Beta 2 is out. Finally some fresh bits that are synced up between WCF, WPF, and WF.

There is also a Go-Live license associated with all the bits, so you can get the jump on the competition by putting apps into production right away with WinFX capabilities. If you haven't started looking at WinFX capabilities yet, now is definitely the time. One good way to do so is to attend our WCF Master Class. You can find more details at http://www.idesign.net/.

You can get all the download bits for WinFX Beta 2 here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/windowsvista/downloads/products/getthebeta/

Interface-based Programming example employing the Factory pattern
Just a little written explanation of a sample I usually give in our master classes that demonstrates the one of the benefits of interface-based programming. It demonstrates using a factory (in this case a generic factory that can load any type and return it through an interface reference) to dynamically load components that are expected to implement an interface contract, so that clients can be coded with no specific type coupling (other than the interface contract) to the components that satisfy the contract.
