A Primer on Distributed Event-Driven Architecture with NServiceBus

Presenter: Richard Cirerol
Time: 4:45 PM – 6:00 PM, Saturday, May 22, 2010
Location: Franz Hall, Room 217

Using a distributed message bus, we are able to decouple our distributed systems yet continue to add business value. In this session, we will discuss common enterprise integration patterns and real-world systems that utilize these patterns. We will build an extensible, event-driven, and distributed service layer using the open-source framework, NServiceBus. We will also briefly compare and contrast NServiceBus to MassTransit and the Windows AppFabric Service Bus.

Agile Architecture for Developers

Presenter: Rod Claar
Time: 3:15 PM – 4:30 PM, Saturday, May 22, 2010
Location: Franz Hall, Room 222

This session is a module in RippleRock’s Certified Scrum Developer course “Effective Scrum Developer”. This module is based on this user story: As a Developer, I want to create software components that are maintainable and efficient, so that the product will have a long life and adapt to new requirements easily. The topic of application architecture gets a lot of discussion in our industry. There are many dedicated and skilled software professionals that believe that the complete architecture must be known before a team should start work on the implementation. Rod Claar, Agile Practice Leader for RippleRock will discuss how much design is required at the beginning of the project and how developers can contribute to the development of a design that will last and be easy to maintain.

Amazon Web Services provides highly reliable, scalable, elastic infrastructure where you only pay for what you use with no up-front expenses or long-term commitments. In this session, we will discuss new ways to build architectures that leverages the AWS cloud. This session will provide prescriptive guidance to cloud architects (Concepts, Best Practices, Patterns) who are looking to either migrate an existing session to the cloud or build a new application with 21st century design It will focus on: • How to you architect future applications with cloud in mind? • How to migrate an existing web application in the cloud? • How to "spike-proof" your web application ? Auto-scaling ? • How to build a secure website in the cloud? • What are some of the best practices in building a highly scalable application in the Cloud ?
