LightSwitch and Web Matrix Rapid Application Development (RAD) Tools
September 9 GCUG in Boca Raton
The Two Georges, Paul and George present on the exciting new
RAD developer
technologies that allow you to quickly generate applications. Whether
you are a pure Web 2.0 developer or one looking for more of a richer client
experience through Silverlight, these tools can quickly get you up and running, while allowing you
to add unlimited functionality to your applications.
LightSwitch makes it simple for developers to quickly build polished,
user-friendly custom business applications that work and look like an
off-the-shelf solution, for the desktop and the cloud. Built upon
Silverlight, the tool automatically handles routine code and lets developers
focus on the custom logic that makes their applications unique. As part of
Visual Studio (a new sku), LightSwitch gives developers the flexibility to build
practical, scalable applications that connect with their existing applications,
legacy systems and web services, letting them choose from a wide variety of
hosting, deployment and 3rd-party plug-in options.
WebMatrix is everything you need to build Web sites using Windows. It includes
IIS Developer Express (a development Web server), ASP.NET (a Web framework), and
SQL Server Compact (an embedded database). It streamlines Web site development
and makes it easy to start Web sites from popular open-source apps. The skills
and code you develop with WebMatrix transition seamlessly to Visual Studio and
SQL Server.

Exposing the Open Data Protocol (OData) by "Wild Turtle" Sam Abraham and "Smokin" Joe Homnick
October 14 GCUG in Boca Raton
The Open Data Protocol (OData) is a Web protocol for querying and updating data that provides a way to unlock your
data and free it from silos that exist in applications today. OData does this by
applying and building upon Web technologies such as HTTP, Atom Publishing
Protocol (AtomPub) and JSON to provide access to information from a variety of
applications, services, and stores. The protocol emerged from experiences
implementing AtomPub clients and servers in a variety of products over the past
several years. OData is being used to
expose and access information from a variety of sources including, but not
limited to, relational databases, file systems, content management systems and
traditional Web sites.
