Description:
Topic: Getting Started with SignalR
SignalR is an asynchronous signaling library for ASP.NET. It's designed to help you build real-time web applications without a lot of hassle. In the past, developers would have to wire up "real-time" applications as a series of polls to a webserver, waiting for it to receive data back that was useful. This approach usually cost more in bandwidth than we wanted it to. SignalR simplifies this process, and makes it more useful for the ASP.NET developer. In this presentation, Kevin Griffin will guide you through implementing SignalR into your applications, and how you can take advantage of everything it has to offer.
Presenter: Kevin Griffin
Kevin Griffin has been working as a professional developer since 2006, where his first job was working on components for the Symantec security suites. Now Kevin works as a Technical Evangelist for ComponentOne. As an Microsoft ASP.NET MVP and ASPInsider, Kevin spends a lot of time teaching and mentoring developers to learn new technologies and to be better developers. Over three years ago, Kevin started the Hampton Roads .NET Users Group and now serves as a Senior Mentor for INETA. You can find Kevin speaking at conferences, code camps, and user groups across the country.

Title
Building Applications on Windows Azure: Practical Approaches to Microsoft's Cloud Offering
Abstract
Microsoft Windows Azure has quickly become a major player in cloud offerings with its Platform as a Service (PaaS) product offering. Windows Azure provides a mechanism for developers to quickly deploy applications without having to go through the pain of purchasing new hardware and provisioning the server. While the Windows Azure provides a nearly infinite amount of compute resources, there are many different technologies available to developers within the Azure service offerings that can enhance any custom developed application. Come to Fox Valley .Net Users Group on February 8th and hear Aaron Hayon discuss the benefits of the Windows Azure Platform as a Service offering, as well as the many tools available to developers in the platform.

Description:
The Triangle .NET Users Group (TriNUG) presents:
SignalR is one of the new tricks in the Microsoft web stack. Think about the possibilities available to you in a browser when you've got constant, server-initiated conversations and real-time responsiveness from within the web browser (like chat, stock updates, publish/subscribe implementations, push notifications, and so on). Brady Gaster will introduce you to SignalR and will walk through the process of setting up an MVC 3.0 application to work with SignalR using both it's Hub and Connection methodologies. Using numerous practical and easy-to-digest demonstrations, this session will demystify SignalR and show you how to use it today in your application development. It may also inspire you to crack open and rewire some old applications and refactor them to support real-time functionality.
Presenter: Brady Gaster
Brady Gaster is a Windows Azure Technical Evangelist with Microsoft, and has been working with .NET for over a decade in numerous settings - government, education, consulting, gaming, and mobile. Brady's core competencies include middleware development, TDD, service orientation, and continuous integration setup and maintenance.
