Speaking at Microsoft's Duth DevDays
Last week I had the pleasure of presenting two sessions at Microsoft's Dutch DevDays at Den Hague. On Tuesday I presented a sessions about how to implement real world RESTFul services patterns using WCF, WCF Data Services and ASP.NET MVC2. During that session I showed a total of 15 small demos that highlighted how to implement key aspects of RESTful solutions such as Security, LowREST clients, URI modeling, Validation, Error Handling, etc. As part of those demos I used the OAuth implementation created by my colleague Pablo Cibraro.
On Wednesday (March 31st ) I delivered a session that introduces a refactored version of the traditional Enterprise Integration Patterns from a cloud computing perspective. Specifically, I spent a lot of time explaining how the use of the Windows Azure Platform AppFabric Service Bus can change some of the fundamental patterns of enterprise integration solutions. I had a full house on both sessions and got a lot of interesting feedback and questions from a very enthusiastic audience.
This is first time presenting at Dutch DevDays and I was really impressed by the impeccable organization of the event and the energy of the attendees. Big kudos to Arie Leeuwesteijn and his team for putting together a great conference.
PS: The demos for my sessions will soon be available on this weblog.
