It's long way to ... Dublin

Published 06 May 08 03:22 PM | despos

Coming to Dublin in just a few weeks (May 27) for a full day of public, 9-to-5, LINQ, LINQ-to-SQL from ASP.NET and Silverlight. Read all details here.

A pattern-oriented look at LINQ and LINQ-to-SQL from within Web and Silverlight applications

We'll start the day with a 10,000 look at LINQ. Hey, I can hear some of you complaining that it is just the "usual" boring stuff about LINQ being so cool etc. Things that you've probably heard a zillion times. Well, sort of. As Don Box told me once, it's all about perspective. So in the first module you'll hardly find me discussing how to group/join data. I'll focus on the architectural model and drive you naturally to understand the various flavors of LINQ. A full understanding of the IQueryable interface will open up a new perspective on LINQ-to-SQL and LINQ-to-Entities. 

In the end, LINQ-to-SQL is two-folded. On one end, it is a programming tool for a DAL, but if you know it well it can morph into a simplified, but not less effective, O/RM tool.

After due lunch, discussing data access strategies from ASP.NET and Silverlight with patterns. Which patterns? MVP and MVVM. And services. And data feeds.

It'll be fun. Don't hesitate to ask more information :)

Oz,

it was scheduled for this summer, but I just got notice that it's been canceled because of "low" interest. It's the downturn of the economy--they said

Thanks for "Real World" introduction to LINQ-SQL and the intro into the patterns used in Silverlight/WPF.  

It would be great to hear your thoughts on EF the next time your in Dublin.
