    January 21st: Limited WIP Society Lunch Meeting Today Cancelled!

    On 10:12 AM 0 comments


    Your Organizer, Troy Tuttle, sent the following message to some members of Limited WIP Society of KC:

    With the continued winter weather today, we are cancelling our Meetup.  I was really hesitant to do so, as we had a large group planning to attend.  But it's not worth the risk of driving and walking on frozen surfaces.
    Stay tuned, as we will try to schedule a make-up event in the next week or so.
    Thanks!
    Troy

  • Open to anyone in the area who is interested in developing video games. In order to have a little structure, we'll try to do a couple things each week:
      Introduce new members. What have you worked on, game related or not? What do you want to work on next?
      Discuss this week's conversation starter. Some article, video or game that we can dig into a little.
      Members can present any games they're working on, for feedback or just to brag.
    Of course, it's all very informal. The main goal is interesting conversation(s) about our passion.
    Looking forward to it!

    Spotlight Talk: ASP.NET 5: What Happened to Session and AppSettings?
    Speaker: Carolyn Schroeder
    ASP.NET 5 is all about using only the services you need.  I will show you how to add the Microsoft.AspNet.Session service to Startup.cs.  I will also show how to add the Session middleware to Startup.cs.  One this is in place Session can be stored in a json string.  AppSettings can be retrieved by creating a constructor in the appropriate controller which accepts an object holding the AppSettings.  This is injected by runtime when creating the instance of the controller.  ASP.NET 5 is a departure from what we are used to but hasn’t lost features we are accustomed to.

    KC SQL Server User Group - So you want to be a data warehouse architect?

     

    Friday, January 29, 2016 from 2:30 PM - 4:00 PM
     
    The meeting this this month has been rescheduled for next friday (1/29) at 2:30pm.

    Frank Kearney will be presenting: So you want to be a data warehouse architect

    Topic: Most data warehouse and business intelligence developers strive to move to the next level of being a data warehouse or business intelligence architect. The problem is understanding if you are ready to make the transition. During this session we will cover the basics of making sure you have your architect toolbox is filled with the right tools as well as understanding the difference between a developer and an architect.

    This will be an interactive session as we evaluate data sets, how to model those data sets and what kind of questions we need to ask to make sure we fully understand the scope of the data warehouse project.

    **********

    We will also hear from those that have expressed interest in filling more formal positions in the user group for the coming year.  If you have not sent me an email ([email protected] or [email protected]) expressing interest please do so ASAP so that I can make sure we have time for you to speak at the meeting.   Look forward to seeing everyone there!
