On Wednesday 9th March 2011 we are hosting the next London .Net User Group where there will be 2 talks in parallel, one on CQRS and the other on integrated systems design.
Who: Ian Cooper
What: CQRS, Diving Deeper
Abstract: You understand the benefits of CQRS but now you want to implement it. In this presentation we will look strategies for implementing CQRS. We will delve into Event Sourcing, and understand how and when to implement this technique. We will also discuss NoSQL databases and show how they match up with our requirements. Finally we will look at what this means for your overall application architecture.

Who: Sarah Taraporewalla
What: How to decrease risk when designing integrated systems
Abstract: How often do you get to work on completely isolated systems? It is seemingly more and more common that your system needs to talk to another system to function, whether that be a legacy system, an external API or even one that has not been developed yet. Every system that you talk to adds risk to your project; technical risk, quality risk and delivery risk. But never fear - help is at hand.
Come to this talk and you will hear about how to design your system to decrease this risk, how to ensure the quality of the overall system and how to manage the successful delivery of the system. Not only that, but you will hear real-life cases, some success stories but also many failures and you too can learn from the mistakes I witnessed. Have questions around the integration points in your ecosystem? Fire them up, and lets see if we can work through them together.
