Just Because I Can, Doesn't Mean I Should…

Just because you can build another couponing site, another local directory, another mobile ap, doesn’t mean you should does it? In working with entrepreneurs there are several things they often do based on what they see around them. • Build what is not immediately in front of them • Hire from their immediate circle of friends Neither of these habits is necessarily bad. However, if you don’t know that the marketplace is flooded with exactly what you want to build and much better funded than you and with an exceptional team, that could be a problem. Or maybe your best friend is incredibly supportive, but that doesn’t mean that you want them to be your business development director does it? A very successful serial entrepreneur friend says, “Fail fast.” Market research and feasibility can tell you if “this” is the idea to put your efforts to or maybe there could be a better choice.

Windows Azure in the Real World: From Idea to Production in a Few Months

I've been developing, speaking and writing about the Windows Azure platform since its first release. I thought I was an expert on the subject until a few months ago, when I decided to start working on what has become one of the biggest platforms running on Windows Azure. What did I learn? This session will explore the best practices, patterns and techniques that we've learned when building large scale, multi-data center Windows Azure applications in the real world. We will deep dive into some of the traditional patterns of Windows Azure applications such as data storage, messaging, caching, security, monitoring among many others. Additionally, we will cover some of the best practices and tools that you can use to streamline your Windows Azure application development in areas such as testing, continuous deployment, provisioning, etc. To keep things practical, we will provide a series of demonstrations that will clearly illustrate the patterns and techniques covered in this session.

Esoteric LINQ and Structural Madness

Like a mad scientist, or perhaps a profane philosopher, I cannot stop researching declarative programming and applying the query expression syntax to data structures and patterns beyond sequences and observers. Be forewarned: this talk is not for the faint of heart. I will immediately take you on a deep dive into the heart of what it means to be declarative, applying useful functions to gain you both performance and syntactic clarity, before moving into the application of query expressions to concepts like functions, graphs, and specifications. If there is time, I will take it to a more abstract level with monads and magmas. This talk will make your brain hurt, but in the process you will see C# through a new lens.
