.Net meets a multicore world by Steve Mylroie Agenda Not Set Yet Room Not Assigned The programmer free ride to ever increasing performance generated by ever increasing CPU clock speed has come to an end. In the brave new world, which is emerging, programmer will need to take advantage for the ever-increasing number of cores on the coming generations of CPU chips if they want to improve the performance of their applications. In the past creating programs, which took advantage of multi-core architectures, has been a very challenging task. In recent years researchers at Intel and in academia have created C++ libraries, which greatly simplify the task for many common type of applications. Microsoft developer having observed these effort have incorporated many of the better ideas for these efforts into .Net 4.0 as the parallel task extension. In this session the speaker will review the common pit falls associated this the classic multi-threaded approach to designing multi-core application and then demonstrate how the parallel task extension in .Net 4.0 allow C# programmers to avoid these problems while still taking full advantage of multi-core CPUs. While the task parallel extension eliminate much of the pain associated with developing multi-core aware application, live is "not still all roses". The speaker will therefore also discuss limitations on the types of application, which can benefit from the use of the parallel task extensions in .Net 4.0 and a number of pit falls associated with its use. The session will also include a discussion and demonstration of the tools for analyzing performance issue in multi-core application, which were added to the Visual Studio tool set in version 10. Discussion of the .Net 4.5 enhancement to the Task Parallel Library and Multi Core Development tooling in VS2012 will be added to this year presentation.

What to do when WPF is too slow or how create... by Steve Mylroie Agenda Not Set Yet Room Not Assigned Window Presentation Foundation (WPF) provides a powerful set of tools for rapidly developing sophisticated desktop user interfaces (UIs); however the power comes with an significant performance overhead. In this session I will focus on what a developer can do beyond using a background thread to solve performance issues without totally abandoning WPF. This presentation is based on work do for a project which need to include a real time display of status maps for water distribution system with up to 50,000 element in a WPF based user interface The presentation will focus on three areas: 1. The WPF performance monitoring tools 2. Use of the lower overhead visual host based WPF display element including tradeoff and limitation 3. Integration of DirectX generated graphic elements into WPF displays DirectX integration offers the high display performance and allows one to take full advantage of multi-core GPUs. For reasons that will be discussed during the presentation stock WPF application can only use GPUs in a single thread mode and therefore can not take full advantage of muti-core GPUs. The DirectX integration approach was the only one, which could meet the demands of the water distribution application. The implementation was based on the WindowsAPICodePackDirectX SDK, which is available from the MSDN archives http://archive.msdn.microsoft.com/WindowsAPICodePack , the Surface Queue Helper also available from MSDN archives http://archive.msdn.microsoft.com/D3D9ExDXGISharedSurf and a set of .NET wrappers for the Surface Queue Helper Library from a blog post by . The approach was originally discussed in a blog post by rob relyea of Microsoft which appears to be lost in the MSDN archives. The January 2012 link to blog entry is broken. I have corrected several bug in the original post and will be creating a Codeplex project with the libraries and a demo application project demonstrating the use of the libraries (not the water works apps which is proprietary code) for both 32 bit and 64 bit systems Additional interfaces added in Windows 8 allow developers of Window 8 store application and Window 8 phone application to use DirectX without the need for the Surface Queue Library. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/hh825871.aspx The VS2012 tooling for Window 8 however does not include C# wrapper for DirectX and the WindowsAPICodePackDirectX SDK does not offer support for Windows Store Apps or Window Phone 8 apps.

Designing a Beautiful REST+JSON API by Les Hazlewood Agenda Not Set Yet Room Not Assigned Designing a really clean and intuitive REST + JSON API is no small feat. You have to worry about resources, collections of resources, pagination, query parameters, references to other resources, which HTTP Methods to use, HTTP Caching, security, and more! And you have to make sure it lasts and doesn't break clients as you add features over time. Further, while there are many references on creating REST APIs with XML, there are many fewer references for REST + JSON. In this presentation, Les Hazlewood - Stormpath CTO and Apache Shiro PMC Chair - will share all of the golden nuggets learned while designing, implementing and supporting JSON-based REST APIs, using examples from a clean real-world REST+JSON API built with Java technologies. He will cover: -JSON-based data formats in a RESTful API -References to other JSON-based resources (aka 'linking'). -Resource collections and pagination -How to map (and how not to map) HTTP methods to Resource CRUD -Resource partial updates -Supporting HTTP Method Overloading for clients that don't support HTTP PUT and DELETE -API versioning strategies -Meaningful Error responses -Many-to-many resource relationships -HTTP Caching and Optimistic concurrency control. -Authentication and Security READ MORE Les Hazlewood is Stormpath's CTO and co-founder, Apache Shiro PMC Chair and a JavaOne Rockstar.

Self-Service Build and Deployment at Netflix by Gareth Bowles Agenda Not Set Yet Room Not Assigned Netflix customers stream their movies and TV shows via a Service Oriented Architecture made up of hundreds of fine grained services.

Unit Testing ASP.Net MVC by Craig Berntson Agenda Not Set Yet Room Not Assigned MVC applications are designed for testability, but out of the box ASP.Net MVC applications still have issues that prevent you from having good unit tests. Rather than taking the typical TDD approach, this session we will take an existing MVC application and modify the code to make it unit-testable. This method of learning reinforces unit test concepts which must be learned before tackling TDD. You will also learn about repositories, mocks, and dependency injection.

Get On The Bus by Chris Patterson Agenda Not Set Yet Room Not Assigned When learning about distributed application architecture, you have probably read about an Enterprise Service Bus, ESB, or message bus. And it's likely that the words "advanced, complex, or proceed with caution" were nearby. However, modern service buses are approachable, lightweight, and powerful, making it easier to build reliable and maintainable applications with only a working knowledge of messaging and asynchronous processing. In this session, I will show you how to use an open-source service bus MassTransit to build services that communicate via RabbitMQ and MSMQ. In addition to service, I will demonstrate how to build web applications that leverage back-end services via asynchronous messaging, resulting in more reliable and scalable web sites.
