May 9, 2007 - Ann Arbor .Net Developers User Group Meeting

The Ann Arbor .Net Developers user group meeting is quickly coming upon us. This months speaker is Keith Elder and the topic is Structure and Guidance for Organizing Application within Visual Studio. Heres an abstract:

Visual Studio is an outstanding tool when it comes to building applications on the .Net Framework. It can be confusing for users when trying to initialize a new software deliverable though. For example, how do you name your projects? Where do you put third party assemblies so they can be re-used? How do you set things up for an n-tier architecture? And the list goes on. I've given various talks throughout the US and it never fails that I end up in a conversation with multiple people on what are the best ways to organize projects within Visual Studio. This session should answer these questions and provide some proven guidance that works. In this session we'll cover some best practices on how to organize your projects and solutions. We'll also look at some tricks and guidance on how to map your folder structure to your namespaces. During the session we are going to build a new application from scratch and cover how to initially incorporate an n-tier design when initializing your project. Even if you are an experienced .Net developer this is one session you will not want to miss!

Hope to see you there.

I was reading Scott Hanselman's blog and he was pretty geeked about this video so I checked it out. It was very interesting and very fast, furious and intense. I liked the way it presented the past worked up to the present and showed the advantages of separating content from format. Check it out here: Michael Wesch, Assistant Professor of Cultural Anthropology at Kansas State University.
