AFUG is pleased to announce that Alan Stevens, President of the East Tennessee .NET Users Group will be making our May presentation.

Ignorance is Bliss: Why You Don't Need to Know Where or How Your Data is Stored?

Persistence Ignorance means that an application has no intimate knowledge of where data comes from and how it is stored. Benefits of persistence ignorance include a more maintainable and flexible architecture able to support different data sources and deployment scenarios. We examine how we can best abstract the source of data from the logic accessing the data. We will use XML as the transport method for our data from a variety of backend sources including VFP tables, SQL Server and SQL Compact Edition. We examine the options for accessing our data repository through local objects, web services and COM+.

You will learn:

  • How to deserialize large XML streams using MSXML when XMLAdapter cannot
  • How to use a factory to create application components
  • How to use the CursorAdapters to connect to disparate data sources
  • How to create and apply XML DiffGrams with the XMLAdapter

LOCATION: KC Pit BBQ, Sandy Springs, GA
