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.
