<p>Wed. Aug. 28, 2013, 10:15 AM - 11:30 AM</p>
<p><em>Meeting Room 5</em></p>
<p>PowerShell is one of those tools that gets a lot of attention from the IT administration side, but many developers think it's not a tool aimed at them. But trust me, PowerShell is an arrow that no developer's quiver should be without. Using real-world examples, come learn how you can find problems in your source code, uncover production bugs in your application, tinker with .NET libraries without having to create throw-away projects, and simplify production application updates. If you've never used PowerShell before, this is the session for you. If you've used it once or twice but aren't sure how to use it to simplify your development life, this is the session for you. Even if you're using PowerShell on a semi-regular basis, you may still learn a trick or two!</p>

<h3>Enjoying the Move from WCF to the ASP.NET Web API</h3>
<h2>Kevin Hazzard</h2>
<p>Wed. Aug. 28, 2013, 10:15 AM - 11:30 AM</p>
<p><em>Meeting Room 15</em></p>
<p>Using the ASP.NET Web API for callbacks on your client-facing web servers makes a lot of sense, especially if you're using Microsoft's MVC framework. But many developers are beginning to see the value in using the Web API in the middle tier, too. Reusing skills and code from the web in the development of core services is an alluring prospect. Making the leap from WCF to the Web API can be daunting, however, because the systems are quite different from one another. In this session, we'll compare the WCF object model and its conventions to the Web API, using code to draw comparisons between various features. When you've completed this session, you'll be "Thinking in HTTP" and ready to try the Web API to develop your application's core.</p>

<h2>Kevin Griffin</h2>
<p>Wed. Aug. 28, 2013, 10:15 AM - 11:30 AM</p>
<p><em>Meeting Room 9/10</em></p>
<p>In the beginning, we had static websites. Then we invented AJAX, and our websites became alive with dynamic content. Now we're getting to a point where we'd like to have our web applications work in cool asynchronous ways across all of it's connected users. The typically example would be a chat room. You send a message to the server, and the server broadcasts it to everyone who's in your room. In the past, in order to build a system like that took time and code. How about dynamically refreshing content in your application based on events that happen on the server? SignalR is a library that assists you in building real-time, multi-user interactive web applications. In this talk, we'll discuss the current state of the real time web, and then WOW you with quick, easy, and code-filled demos showing off the power of SignalR.</p>

<p><em>Banquet Room G</em></p>
<p>One of the main tenets of Agile development is to deliver business value to the production environment early and often. That's easy enough if you are delivering one small web app, but what if your application is composed of several web apps across multiple tiers with a large database and maybe even a few Windows services and scheduled tasks? Now you need a deployment system that is built to scale and allows you to automate all of these tasks to achieve consistency in your deployments. In this talk i will show you how to deploy a complex application to multiple environments with just the click of a button using TeamCity and Octopus Deploy.</p>

<h3>How To Optimize a Hierarchy In SQL Server</h3>

<h3>How To Optimize a Hierarchy In SQL Server</h3>
<h2>Louis Davidson</h2>
<p>Wed. Aug. 28, 2013, 10:15 AM - 11:30 AM</p>
<p><em>Meeting Room 4</em></p>
<p>One of the most common structures you will come across in the real world is a hierarchy (either a single parent "tree" or a multi-parent "graph"). Many systems will implement the obvious examples such as a corporate managerial structure or a bill of materials. It also turns out that almost any many-to-many relationship can be used as a hierarchy to find the relationship of parent rows to child rows (for example: the relationship of actors to movies they have been in). In this session, I will demonstrate several different implementations of hierarchies that you can use to optimize your hierarchy needs that you can put into practice immediately, with ready made T-SQL examples.</p>

<h3>In the Driver's Seat: How MSpec and BDD Will Make You a Better Programmer</h3>
<h2>Joe Leo</h2>
<p>Wed. Aug. 28, 2013, 10:15 AM - 11:30 AM</p>
<p><em>Meeting Room 14</em></p>
<p><p>Behavior driven development has been around for a long time. With the help of Dave Chelimsky (RSpec) it's been fully embraced in the Ruby community. As a long time Ruby developer I learned how BDD helps create expressive specs that lead to high quality software. I've since learned how to harness these practices and apply them to .NET development. Over time I've concluded that writing better specs does more than boost my coverage stats or make my code "safer" -- it makes me a better developer.</p><p>This presentation will teach you how to use BDD as a tool for better design and more expressive code. You will gain a deep understanding of the MSpec famework and learn the technique of writing "outcome first specs." You'll learn how to apply BDD to a variety of software projects. Most importantly, you'll learn how being expressive in testing leads to more informed design decisions and ultimately to better software.</p></p>

<p>"Did you ever have an idea for an electronic device that required more than just software - weather station, robot, automatic beer keg? Was that immediately followed with Dr. McCoy whispering in your ear, "I'm a software developer, not an electrical engineer!". If you thought that building something like this was beyond your capabilities then think again. Gadgeteer is a rapid prototyping platform that makes building physical devices as easy as plug & play. The platform takes care of the electronics and lets you concentrate on the software. In ten minutes, I'll show you how you can build from a working Internet of Things project that monitors sensors & logs data to the Internet as well as show you an assortment of other projects built using Gadgeteer. Come take part in the Gadgeteerin' revolution!" In order to allow as many people as possible to participate, the Gadgeteerin' lab requires that each team (1-3 people) arrive with a laptop with the prerequisite software already installed. Installation instructions can be found at <a href="http://blog.ianlee.info/p/devlink-2013.html">http://blog.ianlee.info/p/devlink-2013.html</a></p>

<p><em>Meeting Room 12</em></p>
<p>jQuery provides a very productive environment for client side programming in JavaScript and is used by a majority of major web sites today. It takes advantage of existing knowledge of CSS selector syntax to offer a powerful and efficient alternative to accessing elements. The use of operation chaining and implicit iteration lead to a very compact and productive syntax. The library is very lean at a mere 32K, yet provides a strong base and a great extensibility model which has led to a large number of plugin extensions to simplify web development. The session will review how to use the library for very useful features while avoiding browser inconsistencies, and making AJAX calls to the server. Several plug ins will be demonstrated which provide stunning client experiences with as little as 1 line of code! Learn how jQuery greatly simplifies client side development.</p>

<p>Google Packaged Apps are a new take on an established concept. Build native applications using HTML5. This has been an embraced paradigm on mobile for some time now, but what about the desktop? Version 2 of Packaged Apps brings access to native API's like the File System, Serial Communication, Networking, Identity and much more. As long as Chrome is installed, your application will run. Package your app once and reach any platform where Chrome is installed. It's not a web app, it's a packaged app. There are a few things that you need to know when building without a server. Certain patterns will serve you well and there are security implications to be aware of. Be prepared for packaged apps with this session and learn how to start building them today.</p>

<p>The most important part of a database is the data and the best way to make sure the data is useful is make sure it has integrity. SQL Server provides you with a number of tools to weave layers of defense to make sure that all stored data meets the base requirements set forth in the design. In this session I will demonstrate how to implement data protection using PRIMARY KEY, UNIQUE, CHECK and NULL constraints, and when constraints are not enough, triggers. Sometimes it may even be necessary to resort to stored procedures and client code for the primary data protection (and the ideal system will be so tight from the UI standpoint that these constraints are silent almost all of the time). Examples will include versions of foreign key, data formatting, range checks, value reasonableness, all using scenarios that go beyond simple mechanical examples of constraints.</p>
