Event Details

Join North East Bytes for our fifth event of the year.  Following on from the great events that started the year we've lined up another two great speakers who are delivering two very interesting sessions.  Register now, you won't want to miss this opportunity!

"The Need For Speed: A Developers Guide to Velocity (aka AppFabric)" with Phil Pursglove

AppFabric (formerly codenamed Velocity) is Microsoft’s distributed caching technology. In this session we’ll look at how to use it (and why you’d want to) and dig into some of the details like how to handle concurrency, and how we can integrate AppFabric into ASP.NET to share Session state across servers, prevent Viewstate from being transmitted to the client, and share output caching across servers.

Phil Pursglove is a Senior Developer with WSP Group based in Cambridge. Phil has been involved with the UK developer community for over ten years and was previously the East Anglia co-ordinator for the VB User Group. He has spoken at VBUG conferences and user group meetings as well as the DDD and WebDD conferences at Microsoft.

"Making Powerful use of PowerShell 2.0 Easily" with Jonathan Noble

With the launch of Windows 7 and Server 2008 R2, PowerShell became part of the core OS and added a bunch of 2.0 features. In this session, aimed at existing users of PowerShell as well as beginners, we'll cover some of the new aspects of PowerShell which IT Professionals can use easily to manage their Windows systems. This will include remoting, background jobs, advanced functions, script debugging and more. There are some deep concepts at play here, but this session will make them accessible enough for you to start working straight away. For those with no experience of working with PowerShell, there will be a quick on-ramp to get you going.

Jonathan Noble is one of the co-founders of NEBytes and a Microsoft MVP for Windows PowerShell with over a decade of experience in administrative scripting on Windows. When the first version of PowerShell was released, he was happy to drop VBScript like a stone and hasn't looked back. He suffers from tech addiction; particularly mobile devices. Jonathan blogs at http://jonoble.com and tweets at http://twitter.com/jonoble.
