Sunday, April 06, 2008Perth .NET User Group: April Meeting
April’s .NET user group meeting, ‘Delivering on the Promise of SOA’ with Bill Poole, was another success with a great turnout (49 people).
After a quick introduction, Dave Gardner gave an overview of the library that we have put together, which now contains around 90 books. It's free for members use, and includes some great learning resources. As you can see, it was standing room only. [The empty chair was Stephen Liedig’s who took these photos!] Bill did a great job of covering a huge amount of material in the one hour session; I walked away with several ideas to consider and think over; I particularly liked his section on anti-patterns. If you were not able to make this session, Bill has kindly posted his slide deck here. We will hopefully get Bill back for another session to cover more of this important topic. Thank you to Bill for presenting this session and thanks to everyone who attended, and to everyone who helped make the evening a success. |
