Code for Boise Code Camp 3-16-2013

Data Caching Session

This example application is for the session, “An Approach to Real World Application Data Caching” can be downloaded below. Included in the download is the demo application, the Ocean 3 framework binaries, and the  PowerPoint deck.

This application demonstrates one solution to real world data caching.  I use the techniques presented here in production applications with many users.

In the future, I’ll write a full blog post on this and possibly post a video walkthrough. I’ll also post the Ocean 3 code, just have not had time to document and write a full example application.

Mole Session

A pdf of the Mole slides can be downloaded below.

Mole can be purchased or a demo of Mole can be downloaded at Molosoft.com.

Download

After downloading change the extension from .zip.DOC to .zip. This is a requirement of WordPress. You will also need to Unblock the file using the file properties dialog in Windows Explorer.

Download (Data Caching Demo w/Database (1.4 MB))

There is a database backup in the \DataCachingDemo\Database Backup folder.  You’ll need to restore this to a SQL Server 2008 R2 or SQL Server 2008 R2 Express. If you restore to SQL Server, you’ll need to change the connection string to point to your server.  Currently, the demo application points to SQL Server Express.

Speaking at Boise Code Camp March 16, 2013

I’m very much looking forward to the 16 March, 2013 Boise Code Camp. Speakers have signed up for some very cool and informative talks.

I’ve signed up for two sessions myself. The abstracts can be viewed here.

• An Approach to Real World Application Data Caching
• Using Mole for Debugging Visual Studio 2010 and 2012 Applications

In addition, I’ll release Ocean 3 as part of the associated session source code.

Windows Phone 7 – Seattle Silverlight User Group Meeting Code

On 8/3/2011 I did a presentation for the Seattle Silverlight Users Group called, “A Slice of Mango – Data Forms.”

This presentation was on data forms for Windows Phone 7.

The MangoForms demo application consists of a series of forms that each focus on a single aspect of a form such as, scrollability, type mismatch exceptions, validation, ICommands, IDataErrorInfo, sample data, design-time tooling, MVVM, etc.

I’ll try and publish a few videos that capture the teaching presented at the meeting.

You can download the code and deck from my Sky Drive here.

Note:  The deck is in the folder SiliconValleyCodeCamp and is for the Application Life Cycle training.  There is no deck for this presentation, just code.
