First INETA Speaker Bureau Gig coming up - Perth 6 Sep
The
site's not updated yet, but I'm happy to confirm that I'll be in Perth on 6 Sep to present my Code Generation in the Real World talk. The blurb for the talk is:
Real-world Code Generationby Nick Wienholt
There is a lot more to real-world code generation than simple spitting out a bunch of objects based on a database schema.What is the re-generation story?How are the generated objects extensible?How do I integrate custom stored procs?How do I return a collection with only a sub-set of fields populated?What is the performance like?How do I maintain source control on the database, the generated objects and the settings used for the generation?
This presentation will cover a code generation process using CodeSmith, .net Tiers and VSTS Database Professional that addresses all these points and more.The end result is a development process that can go from schema modification to full back-end regeneration in under 10 minutes.
The talk was well received when I did it at
SDNUG, and the great
Adam Cogan told me after the session it was his favorite session he seen so-far in 07.
I haven't been to the Perth User Group since Dec 04, and I'm looking forward to catching up with Mitch W and Nick R when I'm over there.
I'm flying out of Sydney on the day before APAC and coming back on the red-eye on the day of the start of the summit. Should be interesting.
Thanks to Sanjay and Sin from INETA APAC for making the trip possible by funding the flight.
