CodeMash

I’ve been given the privilege of speaking at CodeMash 2009 in Sandusky, Ohio this coming January.

The presentation and discussion will cover the learning from implementations of Guerilla SOA and will include code and demonstration based on the WCF. It may change some minds about the default approach to the WCF programming model and open some eyes on how to build a truly message-oriented service oriented ecosystem.

Looking forward to a conference that comes highly recommended.

The submitted abstract

Title: Guerilla SOA for WCF
Track: Arch & Design
Level: Intermediate

Description:
This talk goes over the fundamentals of Guerilla SOA (a concept conceived in ThoughtWorks and championed by Dr Jim Webber) and how they are applied to WCF in both a SOAP and REST context.

Using principles from agile software development into an emergent architecture, particularly for services, the talk looks at an alternative approach to the usual usage of the WCF programming model which provides a true message-oriented approach (rather than the RPC hole almost every WS-* stack drives us into).

Drawing on real large-scale projects, we’ll touch on consumer-driven contracts, sensible XSD, alternate validation techniques, LINQ to XML, XPath, and a convention-based and MVC approach to web service implementation.

    Sounds very interesting, do you know if the session will be recorded and posted online?
