I haven't blogged from a long time ........
Now after attending the PUG DevCon on 8-9 th August, I cant wait about writing what i learnt there.
A whole set of new technologies .....
DevCon (Developer Conference) was organised by PUG (Pune User Group) sponsered by Infragistics and INETA. It was an awesome event.
There were variuos sessions on various technologies by Professionals.
Let me open the PACKAGE for U all and tell U what I learnt ......
- AZURE CLOUD COMPUTING
- SILVERLIGHT 3
- RIA Business Application
- ASP .NET MVC
- JQuery
AZURE CLOUD CPMPUTING :
This is a nice technology from Microsoft to support the concept of cloud computing, The sessions were taken by Abhishek Kant (MVP Lead), Vikram RajKondawar and Monish Darda.
All of them cleared the concept about AZURE. All the doubts inmind about AZURE and CLOUD COMPUTING were cleared.
there is a lot of theorotical concept involved but seeing it practically or working on it LIVE is very nice experience.
U all can also visit Azure's WebSite and register for an account so that U can access the features of AZURE PORTAL.
I have also created a HELLO WORLD AZURE APPLICATION. U can visit it at http://aashishsinghnegi.cloudapp.net/
SILVERLIGHT 3 + SKETCHFLOW + RIA :
This is another latest technology from Microsoft. It all started with Silverlight 1.0 (XAML), then Silverlight 2.0 (XAML + C#) and now SILVERLIGHT 3.
Silverlight 3 can be said as a package of new features over the old Silverlight. You can download the latest Silverlight 3 Tools and Expression Studio 3 to make use of new features.
Expression Blend 3 + Sketchflow (Included In Expression Studio 3) comes with a new feature of SketchFlow.
Using Sketflow U can create a rough sketch of your application. U can manage the flow between the XAML pages. The rough SKETCH can be presented to the user and the suggestions of user can be saved and reviewed by the Developer.
Using RIA Services in the Silverlight 3 Application, we can create a business application very fast. It takes only 15minutes to create a database business application with built-in user management support.
Use of Domain Service makes it easy and fast to create a database rich application.
Vic Parmar (from Infragistics) showcased all new set of Silverlight UI tools. It was awesome.
ASP .NET MVC :
We all have been creating ASP .NET Web Applications and Web Sites. But now here we get a new feature MVC ( Model View Control ). Rahul Rajadhyaksha was the great mind to tell us about this. That was a little HiFi session for me but afterwards when i worked on it and created some Projects on it, it was very easy to understand.
I will blog about ASP .NET MVC sometime later when i get better hold of it.
JQuery :
This was also a HiFi session by Dhaval Faria. You can refer JQuery site to know more about it. I cannot blog about it right now as i haven't gone through it till now. What i think is that it will be nice using JQuery in our application to make it faster.
Thats al for now guys. I will be back blogging more on SILVERLIGHT 3.
Vikram Rajkondawar had one nice SILDE with him ...... WORDS OF WISDOM ...
" TECHNOLOGY has the POWER to ALTER REALITY !!! "
