IMPORTANT: Please note that our May Meeting falls on a Thursday (5/31) instead of the usual Wednesday!  Dani Diaz presents:   Mobile Cloud + Intro to the Async Framework MoCloud: Useful Cloud Patterns for Mobile Developers If you want to spicy up a resume with the latest tech scene buzz words, I can’t think of two better ones than “mobility” and “cloud”. We all know that both of these technologies will play a big role in the future of our industry. In this session, I will outline several popular design patterns for building powerful and scalable mobile applications. While all of the patterns shown are “cloud provider” independent, I will concentrate on Windows Azure using iOS, Android and Windows Phone as the mobile clients. Introduction To The Async Framework Asynchronous programing has been available to .Net developers since version 1. It is a technique use to maintain responsiveness of thread and not blocking it while an operation is being performed. Asynchrony preserves responsiveness while synchronous call blocks, until the result is returned. However the current async patterns available to ..net developers makes developer do funny things to your app code. In this session I will introduce the new Async framework available to Windows Phone, Windows 8 and .Net v.Next Bio Dani Diaz (@DaniDiaz), is a Microsoft Developer Evangelist where he helps developers understand Microsoft’s product offerings and strategy. His main focus area is Windows Phone development. Prior to Microsoft, he lead a team of mobile developers for a large consulting company in Philadelphia.
