Christchurch .Net User Group Architecture Chat

Today was the third CHCH DNUG Architecture Chat’s. Once again at the Bohemian Cafe.

We had seven attendees today, with a couple new faces.

Topics discussed:

  • Google Analytics, and general site performance feedback systems. Bryn discussed the power of monetizing the cost of down time on a production server, and using this to improve development processes.
  • Windows Workflow Foundation, I inquired weather anybody had any experience with it yet, Gary said he was starting to look at it, but had some useful articles from the web about others findings.
  • Office Ribbon and task oriented customization, we talked about the office ribbon, and about other methods of solving the task oriented activities. I was firmly in the ribbon makes sense, “let-go of your fear luke” camp.
  • SOA, followed on from the ribbon.
  • A little gadget wars.
  • And generally Bryn telling good tales from the dark places.

There was a standing in the door discussions also, where I partook in about TDD, and more WWF/WCF/DCOM architecture stuff.
