November's presenter is an INETA speaker.  Due to travel schedules, we had to move to meeting to November 15th instead of the usual date.  Note that this is a Wednesday, and not a Tuesday.

Adding Response and Reliability to Your Solutions with MSMQ Triggers

One of the best ways to increase the perceived response and reliability of your .NET solutions is to incorporate MSMQ services into your implementation. In this talk you’ll learn how to create useful MSMQ-based services that use triggers to fire off custom workflows based on the message placed in the queue. The talk covers the basics of MSMQ and MSMQ Triggers; shows you how you can identify opportunities in your application to add MSMQ services; and how to manage and monitor MSMQ services during the lifetime of your application.

The talk includes a number of code samples and additional resources for leveraging MSMQ services on Windows XP, NT, and Server 2003 platforms.

An internationally known author and lecturer, Mike Amundsen has traveled throughout the United States and Europe speaking and teaching on a wide range of topics including .NET, the Internet, team development, and other subjects.

When he is not working, Mike spends time with his wife and three children at their home in Kentucky, USA.

Upcoming Webcast: November 6, 2006 at Noon EST

Heartland User Group Webcasts
Functional Programming and LINQ - Shifting your object paradigm.
Bill Wagner – Ann Arbor .NET Developers

Join us for technical presentations by experts from around our the user groups in Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky and Tennessee. In this webcast, Bill Wagner will demonstrate the new language extensions in C# and VB.NET called LINQ.

The language features added for the Orcas release of C# and VB.NET start moving those languages out of their Object Oriented roots into the realm of functional programming. It’s a different way of programming. Rather than designing classes with behaviors and data, you create functions that take data as inputs and produce different data as outputs. That radical shift can lead to much simpler ways to express your designs.

In this session, you’ll see the new syntax in these languages, and how you can leverage those additions to create more concise programs in less time.
