Session abstract: Indigo is the next generation remote communications API for Windows. Once Indigo is released, you will no longer program specifically for web services, .NET Remoting, Enterprise Services, or MSMQ. You will just write your code to use Indigo and configure Indigo to use the appropriate communications channel/protocol under the covers. This opens up a whole new and much cleaner approach for connecting smart client applications to the middle tier and to other clients in a peer-to-peer fashion. This talk will introduce the programming model of Indigo and show how to use it to connect a smart client application to a back-end service using a variety of protocols. It will also briefly cover how to support peer-to-peer scenarios, as well as allowing the server to talk back to the client if necessary.

Monthly Presentation for November |
|
Date: Tuesday, November 22nd |
|
Session abstract: As demand ramps up for detachable, distributed smart clients, several coding patterns become more prominent. Examples include the Channel Adapter Pattern for handing multiple forms of data transport, the Observer pattern for updating UI elements automatically, and the Online/Offline pattern for dealing with the lack of a continuous connection. Each pattern will be illustrated in code and shown in the context of a complete smart client system. The Smart Client Application Block from Microsoft will be demonstrated as one way to satisfy the Online/Offline pattern.

NET, VB.NET Programming on the Public Beta, from Wrox Press, as well as numerous other books and articles on .NET.
