While all the cool kids are off in TO for "
The Game", and the mondo-cool kids are heading to Vancouver for "
The Teach", I find myself back once again in the Casa Nobura-Spafford in Winnipeg. What's the occasion? I'm actually going to be at the next iteration of the
Winnipeg .NET User Group.
Why? Someone asked. (Someone I can't say no to)
When? Thursday, Nov 22nd (two days from now and counting)
Where? 1700 Richardson Building 17th Floor, One Lombard Place (you know, the big old one)
Who? Well, you already know that one (me -- duh)
What? The technology formerly known as SubSonic (
soon to be known by its future Microsoft product name: Microsoft Convention-driven Toolset 2008 for the Microsoft MVC Framework System for Microsoft ASP.NET (tm))
Here's a clip from the official announcement. I really must have been drinking hard lately -- I cannot for the life of me figure out where that bio came from. I really have to meet that guy someday...
Kent Sharkey of Apptius Computer Solutions
presents
Subsonic - a toolset that helps a website build itself
Don't create data access layers because they're too much work, or are you just tired of writing the same code over and over again?
See how Subsonic ("The Zero Code DAL") can help you plug your data into your applications easier than ever before, without burying yourself in angle brackets.
The talk will show how/where Subsonic fits in your application, common (and a few uncommon) uses, and how it compares to a few competing products.
