VBUG Coventry: Securing Web Services with WCF with Chris Seary
Date: Wed 9 July to Wed 9 July 2008
Topic: VBUG TECHNICAL SEMINAR
Overview: WCF offers a strong array of tools for adding security to all boundaries of your application. Chris will guide you through implementing WCF security, and also what sort of protection is the best choice for each scenario. When is it best to use message level security (WS-Security) instead of SSL? Why use application security instead of IPSec? How do you provide integrity? Chris has answered these questions for large scale enterprise applications in government, banking and defence. The session will go into deep technical detail, and offers plenty of sample code for your own implementations.
Chris Seary works as a Senior Developer for an IT and management consultancy, Charteris plc(http://www.charteris.com). He has worked with many different Microsoft technologies, and for the last few years has specialised in the security aspects of enterprise-level .NET systems.

VBUG Newcastle: F# with Oliver Sturm
Date: Wed 9 July to Wed 9 July 2008
Topic: VBUG TECHNICAL SEMINAR
Overview: Taking efficiency one step further - F#
Microsoft Research describes F# as "a scripted/functional/imperative/object-oriented programming language". Combining all those aspects in one language is certainly not an easy task, but they've done a good job of it. F# is interesting both as a language to actually consider for your projects and as a source of features that might make it into the mainstream .NET languages tomorrow. The session uses many examples to give you a good general overview of F#.
To complement the introductory session, Oliver is going to show some more advanced samples from his talk “Data Handling in F#” and there will also be room for Q&A as well as discussion.
Please arrive from 18:30 for a 19:00 start.
Venue: Castlegate, Melbourne Street, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE1 2JQ, GB
Start Time: 18:30

VBUG Bournemouth: Go With the Flow. Understanding WWF with Ben Lamb
Date: Tue 15 July to Tue 15 July 2008
Topic: VBUG TECHNICAL SEMINAR

The Windows Workflow Engine allows business rules to be modelled in a graphical environment, possibly by a business analyst rather than the developer, making changes easier to accommodate. This talk explains the concepts behind Windows Workflow Foundation and demostrates its use.
All code samples demonstrated will be making use of the .NET Framework version 3.0.

VBUG Thames Valley: How to spend more time at the pub (and other fun places!)
Date: Tue 15 July to Tue 15 July 2008
Topic: VBUG TECHNICAL SEMINAR
Overview: CSLA.NET is a business object framework that can help developers of all skill levels to build scalable, maintainable applications that adhere to industry best practices without extended delivery time.
Code generation is a technique for automatically creating sections of code to a consistent standard, usually through the combination of a generic template with a specific entity model.
Both techniques are beneficial in their own right but in combination offer a compelling method of quickly delivering high quality applications. In this session I will explain what CSLA.NET is all about and demonstrate how, by combining these two techniques you can free up time for other pursuits (or other projects).
If you want to explore an interesting technique that encourages good architectural practice or find out what code generation is and how it can help you with repetitive tasks then come along and join in.

VBUG Manchester: Where’s my data? An intro to Spatial Queries in SQL Srv 08
Date: Thu 24 July to Thu 24 July 2008
Topic: VBUG MANCHESTER TECHNICAL SEMINAR
Overview: It is reckoned that 80-90% of data has a spatial component to it. But what do we do with it now? At best, we constrain it to postcodes. Well, that would be great if we were delivering letters, but the majority of us aren’t. In this session we look at Spatial Queries in SQL Server to see how it works and what can be done with it.
Here's what Gary Short said about the session when he saw it: -
"Colin MacKay's Spatial Data talk last night really rocked! If you get the chance to see it you should."
