We are excited to be hosting the next London .Net User Group on the 16th February 2011 (and the one after that).
Here is the info on the event (as plagiarized from Eventbrite)
There will be running two sessions from DDD9 running in parallel to give you a chance catch up on the ones you missed.
CQRS Fad or Future? with Ian Cooper
Command-Query-Responsibility-Seperation (CQRS) is the new 'hotness' but beyond a desire to use the latest 'fad' what might actually lead you to adopt this approach over a conventional layered architecture. We will look at the business drivers behind command and query separation as well as a technique known as event sourcing. We will also look at steps to begin moving your application to CQRS
A Primer to Raven Db with Rob Ashton
RavenDB is a relatively new document database written by Ayende Rahien as an open source .NET project.
This is quite exciting as it means a focus on being able to talk to a document database with your chosen .NET language and support for writing custom map/reduce functions in your chosen .NET language too.
This means up front queries written using familiar LINQ syntax, and the ability to write plug-ins for RavenDB in a familiar environment.
In this session, I aim to give an introduction as to what RavenDB is, how to use it, and give a brief comparison to the other popular NoSQL projects that have appeared on the .NET scene in recent times.
Date: Wednesday 16th Feb 2011
Time: 6:30pm kick off
Venue: EMC Consulting, Notcutt House, 36 Southwark Bridge Road, London, SE1 9EU
