Microsoft Silverlight 4 Data and Service Cookbook [Review]

Andrej Tozon's blog — Fri, 02 Jul 2010 13:08:57 GMT

It’s been a while since Silverlight 4 was released by Microsoft and while we’re patiently waiting for a few other books to be released, I would definitely recommend the "Microsoft Silverlight 4 Data and Service Cookbook” by Gill Cleeren and Kevin Dockx. It’s not an advanced book on Silverlight, nor is it a reference book, it’s compilation of useful, hands-on recipes to get you started on data scenarios using Silverlight 4. If you’re new to Silverlight, you’ll definitely appreciate the way this...(read more)

Srečanje SLODUG v sredo, 30.6. - ponovitev dveh najzaželjenih predavanj iz NTK 2010

MihaM — Thu, 24 Jun 2010 06:24:00 GMT

Pozdravljeni,

Veseli dogodek bo v sredo, 30.6. na ustaljeni lokaciji. Tokrat bomo imeli ponovitev dveh najbolj zaželjenih predavanj iz letošnje NT konference (po glasovanju ne forumu).

Vsebina srečanja je sledeča:

17:00-17:15 Zbiranje

17.15-18:15 AJAX, JQuery in Visual Studio 201 (Dušan Zupančič, RRC d.d.)

Dogajanje na področju AJAX je v Microsoftu ravno v tem trenutku najbolj živo. Ob izidu VS2010 je v ASP.NET projektih v predloge že vključen jQuery skript. Na predavanju si bomo pogledali kakšno je trenutno stanje na področju Microsoft AJAX tehnologij (Microsoft AJAX Library in Ajax Control Toolkit), kaj se dogaja s Client Templates, kaj so jQuery Micro Templates in kakšni so najnovejši prispevki Microsofta v jQuery (jQuery Templates)

18.30-19:30 Tips & Tricks: Optimizacija podatkovnega nivoja in podatkovne baze za razvijalce (Dejan Sarka, Solid Quality Mentors)

V predavanju si bomo ogledali nekaj najpomembejših navodil za optimizacijo podatkovnih baz na SQL Serverju za razvijalce. Poleg logičnega modela je za performace pomemben seveda tudi fizičen model, predvesm indeksi. Pokazali bomo, kako lahko sorazmerno hitro odkrijemo manjkajoče in odvečne indekse. Pogovorili se bomo tudi o optimizaciji poizvedb.

19:30 - * Debata, pizze in pivo.

Se vidimo na Šmartinski 140!
