PDC 2009 Plans

  • Artikel

Several new PDC sessions were published recently including one session that I'll be delivering.

Application Server Extensibility with Microsoft Project Code Name “Dublin” and Microsoft ASP.NET 4 by Nicholas Allen

ASP.NET 4 and “Dublin” provide new application hosting, tracking, and persistence capabilities. Learn the benefits of different hosting options and how to choose the right option for your scenario. Learn about custom tracking providers and how the built-in tracking system can be extended to meet your custom business data monitoring requirements. Learn about the new subsystem for managing durable application state using Microsoft SQL Server or custom application-specific stores.

Based on the description you might already be able to picture some of the content that you'll be seeing in this talk, but whatever you're imagining is probably wrong as both the title and summary of the talk need a lot of correction. This talk will not have any content at all covering ASP.NET and probably only very little that specifically focuses on Dublin. At the conclusion of the talk your custom business data monitoring requirements will not be met.

I will be spending a great deal of the hour though talking about durable application state and instance persistence in distributed systems. I'll be covering the what and the why behind how we built the platform that is used to adapt WCF messaging to communicate with long-running workflow applications.

The more concrete and practical side of this talk heads in the direction of workflow services covered by Mark Fussell.

Workflow Services and “Dublin” by Mark Fussell

Learn how to use Windows Workflow Foundation (WF) 4, Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) 4, and “Dublin” to build and manage scalable, reliable, and highly-available applications. Discover the power of WF to build and coordinate WCF services and implement logic on the middle tier. Enable sophisticated messaging patterns with correlation, enhanced transaction support, durable services, and config-based activation. Learn how "Dublin" makes it easier to deploy, manage, and monitor WCF and WF applications.

    Too bad none of theses presentations made it into the TechEd Europe agenda.
