Composite applications with MEF and Prism, a winning combination
Location: Franz Hall, Room 018
For a while now we've been talking about Composite Applications as a great approach for building applications that can evolve over time. To date, the .NET platform itself has provided very little support for such patterns. The void has been filled through the patterns & pracitces team with Composite UI guidance such as Prism. With the introduction of the Managed Extensibility Framework in .NET 4 and Silverlight 4 all that has changed. Wiht MEF, composability is now a first class member of the platform! MEF doesn't cancel out Prism they are a winning combination. Prism v4 leverages MEF under the covers to take composite applications to the next level. Come to this talk and we'll talk about MEF, Prism and the awesome chemistry they have when you combine them.
Portland Mayor Sam Adams and SAO President Matt Nees: A Conversation with Developers
Location: Buckley Center, Auditorium
Portland's Mayor Sam Adams will be at Portland Code Camp and SQL Saturday. Mayor Adams will be joined by Matt Nees, President of the Software Association of Oregon (SAO). Last December, the Mayor engaged with executives of regional software development companies at a 'Fireside Chat' sponsored by SAO. Now the Mayor and SAO are reaching out to engage software developers to continue an informal conversation about how the City of Portland can best support the Portland metropolitan area becoming one of the top regional venues for software development. Join the Mayor and Matt as they roll up their sleeves and dig in to find out about the needs and desires of the software development community. During this lunchtime session, the Mayor will discuss some of the City’s initiatives related to software. He will also respond to questions from software developers about the City’s plans to identify and expose resources that are available to engage the software development community. Do you have questions about what the City of Portland and SAO can do to enhance the regional software development community? Tweet your questions to #devsat-mayor before noon Saturday.
