CDNUG event #4


Last night we had 4th group event in the offices of Microsoft Cyprus with two very interesting sessions.

Our new member, Cosmin Onea, spoke about Rocky Lhotka's CSLA Framework and explained the way Rocky used to solve common problems we (developers of the distributed systems) usually have. His session gave me few ideas to think deeper about and try to materialize some concepts I had earlier in mind. Will blog about that later, once I have more real stuff in my hands.

The second session was about "Application Setting the .NET way INI, Registry or XML" where Chad went through the options available to developers for storing application settings.

From other news, Chad announced his leaving (going to work for Microsoft) by giving up the User Group presidential position to Evangelos and I've been assigned the vice-president of the CDNUG. Cosmin has been assigned secretarial position but we will share the work, at least at the beginning. Find more info here.
