  • Tuesday, January 27, 2009 7:00 PM: Caparea.Net - Introduction to F# - Matthew Podwysocki, Microsoft - You may have noticed a lot of talk lately around functional programming. As we start seeing more and more cores added to our systems, our traditional ways of dealing with concurrency are no longer as effective. Instead, we need to focus on managing our side effects for which functional programming is well suited, as it emphasizes the lack of state and side effect free functions. Microsoft has recently announced the inclusion of F# into Visual Studio 2010, which is a multi-purpose language with roots in functional programming and OCaml. Come learn about functional programming and F# and ways it can help you write more concise and rich applications.

  • Wednesday, January 28, 2009 6:00 PM: Microsoft Software + Services - Software + Services is Microsoft's approach for the next generation of computing. Central to the strategy is bringing together the best of cloud-based services and the software that resides on a world of devices. The power of local client or on-premises server software combined with the reach and always up-to-date nature of services in the cloud will be more compelling than software OR service only approaches. The Software + Service approach is a confluence of multiple industry phenomena including SaaS, SOA, and Web 2.0. While different vendors are evolving their offerings from different starting points, the entire industry is converging on the Software + Service approach. The speakers will share their views on Microsoft’s Software + Services, review Microsoft Azure Services Platform and applications with demonstrations, and discuss services requirements common to the services platform such as interoperability, identity, data management, and service management. IEEE National Capital Area is hosting the event.
