About PCSUG:
The goal of the Phoenix Connected Systems User Group is to educate, evangelize and inform the community about the direction in which the Microsoft Connected Systems Division (and software engineering) is going, and how developers and architects of various, yet intersecting disciplines can start to prepare for what is ahead while serving the community through knowledge sharing and evangelism of current shipping technologies.

MSDN Events: Building an Effective Messaging Infrastructure with WCF

Rick G. Garibay - The more I learn, the less I kno — Tue, 18 Sep 2007 04:21:12 GMT

I will be doing a talk for MSDN events on Windows Communication Foundation. This is a level 200 talk that includes a combination of content from the MSDN team and my own. Even if you have seen my fundamentals talk on WCF, this session is guaranteed to include new content and code samples.


	Topic: Building an Effective Messaging Infrastructure with WCF Date: Wed., Sept. 26, 2007 - 1:00-5:00 PM Pacific Time Location: Microsoft Southwest Office - Phoenix, AZ

	Abstract: Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) brings tremendous power to developers and architects who are charged with creating distributed systems, but the many coding and configuration choices within WCF can be daunting. When faced with an almost infinitely configurable system, how can you be sure you’re utilizing WCF effectively? Learn how to solve the real-world technical problems that led you to WCF in the first place. This session will educate and inform both developers and architects about how to build and configure services in WCF using a variety of real-world scenarios as examples. After a brief review of WCF’s code concepts, we’ll explore techniques for building an effective messaging infrastructure, taking advantage of WCF’s many built-in services, including security, transactions, reliability and durability. You’ll learn: • How to build and configure services in WCF • WCF core code concepts • Techniques for building a rock-solid messaging infrastructure • How to maximize WCF services, including security, transactions and durability

Desert Code Camp 3 Session Content & Downloads

Rick G. Garibay - The more I learn, the less I kno — Mon, 17 Sep 2007 20:54:07 GMT

I have posted the deck and code for my DCC3 sessions (see original event detail posts below).

Thanks to all who came out, and a big thanks especially to Lorin Thwaits for doing yet another PHENOMENAL job organizing Desert Code Camp!!!

Desert Code Camp III: Building WCF Services for Deployment in Transiently Connected Networks

Rick G. Garibay - The more I learn, the less I kno — Sun, 26 Aug 2007 19:20:19 GMT

This is the second talk I will be doing at DCC III. It ties in nicely with the first article in a WCF article series I am doing for CoDe Magazine due out in the November/December issue, so if you are interested in a sneak peak, I hope to see you there.

Topic: Building WCF Services for Deployment in Transiently Connected Networks

Date: Saturday, September 15th, 8:00 am to 5:00 pm.

Location: University of Advancing Technology

Abstract:

Mobile devices (be it handhelds or laptops) are now prolific in the enterprise, and more and more users are relying on mobile connectivity so that they can remain productive anywhere and at anytime. So what happens when the network goes down, or a WiFi dead spot is encountered? Or asked a different way, how can you provide the user with the best connected experience based on the state of the network?

In this code-focused discussion, we’ll look at a line of business application built using WCF and Visual Studio 2005 that exposes HTTP, TCP and MSMQ endpoints so that that the client can use the most suitable connection based on the state of their network connection without compromising reliability.

Desert Code Camp III: Foundations of Windows Communication Foundation

Rick G. Garibay - The more I learn, the less I kno — Sun, 26 Aug 2007 19:15:38 GMT

I will be speaking at Desert Code Camp III on one of my favorite topics: SOA and WCF. This first talk is a great intoduction to SOA and SO applications and how WCF facilitates building them. This is definetely an introductory level talk so if you are new to SOA or WCF, you will feel right at home!

Topic: Foundations of Windows Communication Foundation

Date: Saturday, September 15th, 8:00 am to 5:00 pm.

Location: University of Advancing Technology

Abstract:

This session will provide an introduction to service orientation along with the fundamentals of Windows Communication Foundation (WCF), the new framework for building distributed applications in .NET 3.0. The WCF API unifies ASMX Web Services, .NET Remoting, distributed transactions and messaging into a single programming model that makes true service orientation tenable.

Austin Code Camp 2007: Hardening Security in ASP.NET Applications & Services

Rick G. Garibay - The more I learn, the less I kno — Wed, 11 Apr 2007 17:35:57 GMT

Thanks to all for coming out to the security talk. I am always pleased to see more than a handful of people to show up to talk about security. We had some fun and faced some challenges which we overcame!

Between my laptop going into hibernate, problems with our IIS 6.0 application pool identity, and forgetting to set the NetworkCredential on the ASMX proxy, we finished up just in time with a functional, full end-to-end solution that demonstrated how to implement the trusted subsystem security model in ASP.NET with Windows Integrated Security.

If anyone has any questions, don't hesitate to post. It may take me a day or two, but I WILL get back to you!

This is a popular session that I've done a couple of times at the Phoenix Desert Code Camp I & II and will be repeating at the Austin Code Camp 2007 event on May 4th (along with my Introducing the ABCs of WCF talk). Security is never the funnest topic, but I try to keep it lively and interesting by taking a progressive approach to securing ASP.NET applications and ASMX services using the Trusted Subsystem Model.

Date: Saturday, May 4th, 8:00 am to 5:00 pm.

Location: St. Edward's University Professional Education Center

Topic: Hardening Security in ASP.NET Applications & Services

Abstract:

All applications and services are inherently insecure. While there are multiple options for managing authentication and authorization on the Microsoft .NET platform, choosing the right security configuration for your application can prove to be a daunting task. This session will take an in-depth look at the various options available for addressing authentication and authorization on the .NET Framework specifically for ASP.NET client applications that interact with ASP.NET Web Services. (Level 200)
