Links from the Central Ohio .NET Developers Group May 2008 meeting:
The presentation was given by Jeff Hunsaker who works for Cardinal Solitions (thanks for the pizza) and is also one of the founders of the Central Ohio Application Lifecycle Management Group. Slides from the meeting are available on his blog.
The presentation was on Microsoft's (ADO.NET) Entity Framework. Jeff asked the audience about Object-Relational Mapping (ORM) and what tools they were using. The most common response was NHibernate. Jeff mentioned Subsonic and gave a brief demo. He also did a demo showing LINQ to SQL.
Also mentioned at the meeting was the upcoming Lansing - Day of .NET on June 21, 2008.

CI Server: Redefine Your Build Process with Continuous Integration
CI Server: Redefine Your Build Process with Continuous Integration:
LOL! ...but I totally get it. Just never heard that before. Now I want some pancakes.
It is a bad practice to perform dirty builds. It is even worse to perform a "sourdough" build. This is where you require a previous build be present in order to successfully build.

CONDG Meeting - April 2008
At this month's Central Ohio .NET Developers Group meeting Scott Walker and Bryan Demuth, who work at TDCI, gave a presentation on debugging production applications. The presentation had a few bugs, some intentional (it was a debugging demo) and some not. In spite of the unintentional bugs I thought Scott did an excellent job of introducing some debugging techniques that are more hard-core than stepping through code in Visual Studio. Bryan was good at the Man in Black thing and from the entry on his blog I take it some in the audience didn't know who Johnny Cash was. What's that got to do with debugging? Nothing really.
Scott's blog has a link to download the slides from the presentation (and the slides include relevant links). Here are a few links related to the debugging tools discussed at the meeting:
Troubleshooting ASP.NET using WinDbg and the SOS extension
How to use ADPlus to troubleshoot hangs and crashes
ADPlus
A blog by Tess that has some detailed debugging info.

COLUG Meeting - March 2008
I attended the The Central Ohio Linux User Group meeting yesterday. Rick German from Stoneware gave a presentation on their WebOS. In my over-simplified view, WebOS is a system that creates a virtual desktop within a web browser. The system is built around a set of Java applications running on servers that interface with a number of hosted applications including web services and Windows Terminal Server sessions. This provides a unified point of entry to multiple back-end services with single sign-on, and provides centralized control of who can run which applications and where. This looks like some pretty cool technology especially useful for organizations with a lot of users needing access to a limited core set of applications to do their jobs. Still there is something about the idea of the desktop within the browser within a host OS that makes me feel like this is only evolutionary. At some point that outer browser and OS should disappear like the legs on a snake.
Speaking of snakes, Python to be precise, Catherine Devlin announced PyOhio, a "daylong regional miniconference being planned for the summer of 2008 in Columbus, OH."
