Upcoming Meetings Summary
February 21, 2012 Grok Talk (5-10 Minutes): TBD Main Talk (Approximately 1 hour): Single page web apps using node.js and Windows Azure - Dennis Burton How often do you look at the tools available to you outside of your web framework of choice and your relational database? In this talk, we will explore creating a fully functional web site without the use of a traditional web server and without a relational database backend. Based on this exploration, you can see which of these tools can help you build applications more effectively. Bring your buzzword bingo cards because in this session we will cover the cloud using Windows Azure, node.js, backbone.js, and coffeescript. A light dinner will be served at 5:30, followed by the presentation at 6pm.

April 17, 2012 Grok Talk (5-10 Minutes): TBD Main Talk (Approximately 1 hour): Randy Pagels - A Sneak Peek of Visual Studio & Team Foundation Server 11 Microsoft’s application lifecycle management tooling is all about enabling teams to deliver great software. You will learn how to more effectively plan and track work by using the new web-based project management tools; how to bridge the divide between development and operations by utilizing IntelliTrace in your production environments; and how to help keep team members on-task and “in the zone”, no matter how much there’re randomized. See the new “My Work” experience for managing your active tasks and integrated code review features. In addition to making your team more productive, you will see how you can boost your overall code quality with new features such as code clone and an overhauled unit testing story in Visual Studio 11. With Team Foundation Server you will see the full gamut of collaboration improvements, from the newly revamped Team Explorer, to the version control & build improvements. Want to work offline seamlessly? Wish merging happened less frequently & was simpler when it did? How about find work items faster? Join us to see all this and more.
