IVBUG, IVCUG, and .NET Architects Joint Meeting - November 2007

Dave Platt will be giving his 4 day Composite Application Block Workshop at Idag Ltd on 11-14/11/07. To register contact Sigal at 09-7747785 or by email at sigalm@idag.co.il today!

This month’s meeting will be another joint meeting for the IVBUG, IVCUG, and .NET Architects User Groups so that we can all participate in a lecture given by our special guest speaker – David Platt.

About the presentation:

Users think that today's software sucks. It's unsafe, unreliable and hard to use. These problems are not technical. We've been able to solve them for many years, but instead we've gotten a paper clip with eyebrows. Why? Software sucks because developers forget (or never knew) THE bedrock principle of software development: KNOW THY USER, FOR HE IS NOT THEE. For example, what do your customers come to you for? Hint: it's not software. For another example, do you think your users care about your application? They don't. Never have, never will. They care about accomplishing the task that it does. They don't want to think about you or your application at all. It's your job to care about them anyway. The talk will show good and bad examples from commercial software and web sites, those that understand and help their users, and those that treat users with contempt. For example, consider the ads for Microsoft Office that show non-upgrading users wearing plastic dinosaur heads. Developers fear looking like dinosaurs by not having the latest technology, but ordinary users fear breaking an installation that currently works, or having useless junk like dancing paper clips slow down their computers so they need to buy new ones. Your user is not you. We put this nation on wheels not by training the entire population as mechanics, but by improving cars so they didn't often need mechanics. The same transition needs to happen to the software industry. This talk provides sound design principles so that your software won't suck. Learn how blindness will improve your vision.

About the presenter:

David S. Platt teaches software development at Harvard University Extension School and at companies all over the world. He is the president of Rolling Thunder Computing (www.rollthunder.com), an education and consulting practice. He is the author of eleven books on software development. His Introducing Microsoft .NET, Third Edition, introduced thousands of programmers to that environment. Even today, four years after its last release, it is outselling Tom Clancy’s Every Man a Tiger on amazon.com, which tells you what kind of geeks buy their books there. His magnum opus, Why Software Sucks ... and What You Can Do About It, points out ways in which software MUST improve if it wants to accompany humanity into the twenty-first century. 

Dave is famous for his engaging presentation style. "He's the only guy I know that can actually make an article on COM's apartment threading model funny," said one student. Microsoft designated him a Software Legend in 2002.

Dave holds the master of Engineering degree from Dartmouth College. When he finishes working, he spends his free time working some more. He wonders whether he should tape down two of his daughter's fingers so she learns how to count in octal.  Dave lives in Ipswich, Massachusetts.

IVBUG, IVCUG, and .NET Architects Joint Meeting - October 2007

Note the special date of October’s meeting and the special registration requirements.

This month’s meeting will be a joint meeting for IVBUG, IVCUG, and .NET Architects User Groups, so that we can all take advantage of a special guest speaker - Michele Leroux Bustamante from iDesign Inc.  The meeting will have two parts – the first part is a presentation on WCF Security: 

The Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) is secure by default, providing numerous baked-in binding scenarios that initialize various combinations of transport and message-level security settings. You will almost always need to override the default binding configuration to provide the appropriate security constraints for your service boundaries. This session will start with the security basics: authentication, authorization, the difference between single hop and message-level security, and how to apply digital signatures and encryption. Then, we’ll explore several common deployment scenarios for services within an enterprise system, and the associated security configurations that would apply to those scenarios. By the end of this session you will be able to configure security for key scenarios without getting lost in the mire of binding configurations

The second portion of the meeting will be an open-ended opportunity to ask Michele questions and discuss specific options in her areas of expertise - “Ask the Expert – Ask Michele questions on WCF, Security, Architecture, and …

Do to the expected great demand and limited seating, you MUST register in advance for this event at  http://msevents.microsoft.com/CUI/EventDetail.aspx?EventID=1032356140&Culture=he-IL 

See you there !!
