| <strong>South Florida Azure Group</strong> | boca-fau | Take a sneak peek into the world of the latest cloud computing technology from Microsoft called code named "Dallas". The service is a new paradigm coined "Data as a Service". Whether you are a business owner or a software developer, this presentation will provide you with ideas of how to obtain revenue from cloud computing through the sale and consumption of various data sources. If you are in database marketing then don’t miss out on the opportunity to reach and extensive audience to sell your data sets. If you can imagine being able to automatically integrate various data feeds into your own CRM without the need to go through the tedious work of transforming the data to fit your application, then this preview of "Dallas" is something that will save you time and money. We will show you how to instantly obtain Business Intelligence information and analyze the data from public and private sources right through Excel. Then we will build an application in .Net on the spot that will consume data directly from companies such as InfoUSA, the AP press and the US government. We will talk about how you can take your own data and sell it directly through "Dallas" and have all the billing and analytics performed for you with out any additional effort. Come visit us at the FAU Boca Raton Campus on Thursday 6/17 at 6:30pm in the Desantes building.

| <strong>Ft. Lauderdale ArcSig - Changed:</strong> Developing with New Parallel Computing Technologies in VS2010 and .NET 4.0 - Jeff Barnes, Microsoft | ftl | <strong>Developing with New Parallel Computing Technologies in VS2010 and .NET 4.0:</strong> Multi-processor machines are now becoming standard while the speed increases of single processors have slowed down. In fact, most applications use just a single core and see no speed improvements when run on a multi-core machine.
The key to performance improvements is therefore to run a program on multiple processors in parallel. Architects & Developers will appreciate the new Parallel Computing capabilities now enabled with the .NET 4.0 libraries such as the .NET Parallel Extensions and C++ Concurrency Runtime along with the complementary tools support with Visual Studio 2010.
Learn how to really take advantage of all those processors at your disposal in today’s PC hardware profile… Windows Server 2008 R2 and the 64-bit versions of Windows 7 support more than 64 Logical Processors (LP) on a single computer.
Now you really can “Do More with Less!”

We will be starting with a simple Web Application Project (that uses "Classic" MVC) then walk through making our App MVC2-friendly so that it supports a dual MVC/WebForms architecture. We will then take a step further and demonstrate how to make use of the naturally built-in TDD support for MVC. Throughout our discussion, we will be touching upon technologies such as Linq and JQuery and quickly touching upon how they fit into the latest and greatest VS2010

WPF 4 and Silverlight 3 have now provided some easy to use mechanisms to start building upon this. In this session we will be looking at what has been provided for us in these technologies that allow us to take advantage of this concept. We will look at code demo's that show how to do things like movement, resize and gestures. We will also see demo's on how we can think of and use some of these concepts to provide functionality outside of the obvious intent. |
