Hadi Hariri on CouchDB for .NET Developers on 03 May 2011

We’re very happy to announce that Hadi Hariri agreed to join us for doing a talk on CouchDB, showing us how to incorporate this excellent NoSQL document database into .NET applications. Last year, J. Chris Anderson already did an introductory presentation on CouchDB on the E-VAN. Hadi is going to expand on this, showing what CouchDB is all about and how to get your applications up and running using CouchDB and .NET in no time at all, also explaining how creating and maintaining applications that use this NoSQL thing from a .NET Developers perspective is actually very simple.  

Hadi Hariri is a developer, speaker, podcaster and Technical Evangelist at JetBrains. His passions include software architecture and web development. Book author and frequent contributor to developer publications, Hadi has been speaking at industry events for over a decade. He is based in Spain where he lives with his wife and two sons, and runs the .NET Malaga User Group. He is also a C# MVP and ASPInsider.

Robert Greyling on Spark View Engine on 12 April 2011

We’re very pleased to announce that Robert Greyling agreed to do a talk on the Spark View Engine. Spark is a view engine for the ASP.NET MVC and Castle MonoRail frameworks. The idea behind it is to allow the HTML to dominate the flow and the code to fit seamlessly.

For those of you who don’t know Robert, he literally eats, sleeps and breathes all things tech, and although his expertise lies mainly in the .NET space since the beta in 2000, he loves delving into all sorts of stuff, including functional and dynamic languages. He also has an avid passion for clean and efficient code that adheres to SOLID principles derived through intelligent application of proven patterns.
