Microsoft Developer Dinner Series for Partners
Wednesday, October 21, 2009 6:00 PM, Reston, VA
Join Marc Schweigert for a demo focused session over dinner on developing applications for Windows 7 using the .NET Framework. Windows 7 enables developers to create distinctive and intuitive applications that significantly enhance discoverability, usability, and sheer enjoyment. New methods of desktop integration put application functionality right at the user's fingertips, and Windows Explorer and Libraries provide easy access to high-value information. The Windows Ribbon control and Windows Animation framework make it easier to build interactive and appealing user interfaces. New touch application programmable interfaces (APIs) enable natural interactions through multi-touch and finger-panning, and manipulation and inertia APIs enable impressive visual effects.

DC ALT.NET Meeting - 10/22/2009 - MongoDB
Thursday, October 22, 2009 7:00 PM, Alexandria, VA
This month DC ALT.NET will once again move into the not often covered subjects
in the .NET world, in covering MongoDB with David James. There has been a bit
of discussion around non relational databases lumped under the name of NoSQL.
Later this month, I'm helping curate the NoSQLEast conference in Atlanta, GA
which may be of interest to some of you. This meeting, we'll dive into MongoDB,
one of the NoSQL solutions.
MongoDB is an open source document-oriented database written in the C++
programming language. Like other document-oriented databases, MongoDB is
designed for problems without heavy transactional requirements that aren't
easily solved by traditional relational databases, including problems which
require the database to span many servers. K. Scott Allen has a great writeup
on how to use MongoDB from C# that you can find here and is a great read at
https://odetocode.com/Blogs/scott/archive/2009/10/13/experimenting-with-mongodb-from-c.aspx. And yes, there is even LINQ support as well. Come join us and find out what NoSQL alternatives can do for you.
