Hi All, It's that time again - time for another Auckland
Architecture chat.

Some possible topics I've come across in the last couple of
weeks:

• Get rid of those pesky programmers - why are these business
  types so eager to get rid of us programmers?
  
• Was Ruby the right choice - the meta programming usage
  graph interesting...
  
• Memory mapped files in .Net 4.
  
• Creative
  Commons stack overflow data on BitTorrent.
  
• Revision control as part of the language... sparked off by
  this Lambda
  the Ultimate post about Erlang.
  
• Windows 7 RC Training Kit for Developers.
  
• Newly revised MGraph
  Object Model document.
  
• The Wellington Code
  Camp was last weekend (wish I could've made it!) - presenters
  are starting to post stuff... just keep an eye on there blogs.
  
• • Andrew Tokeley - Building Solutions Using Microsoft Products.
    
  • JD Trask - Object Relational Mapping (blog1, blog2).
    
  • James Story (blog?).
    
  • Owen Evans - blog.
    
  • Ben Arps - Maintainable Code: one step further.
    
  • Kirk Jackson - blog.
    
  • James Newton-King - .Net 4.0 Code Contracts.
    
  • Matthew Hintzen - blog.
    
  • Ivan Towlson - blog.
    
  • Sky Sigal - blog.
    
  • James Hippolite - Microsoft Sync
    Framework.
    
  • John Rusk (blog1,
    blog2).
    
  
  
  
  
• Also I believe Owen is
  working through some code camp video footage which might find
  it's way online at some point, married up to slides etc. -good
  for those of us who couldn't make it down to wellington last
  weekend.
  
• Mono in Visual Studio 2010.
  
• Mono is getting a bit of a hard
  time (follow up here and here) in the
  Linux world, because of unclear licensing.  Microsoft want
  silverlight anywhere/everywhere - but there seems confusion
  around Mono on OpenSuse
  vs. other distros.
  

We'll be meeting at the usual time of 11:30am @ Garrisons, Sylvia
Park, Tomorrow (Thursday 18th June 2009) - and the topics above
are just there in case we run out of anything else to talk about
(which is rare).

For more details on the location and write-ups of previous
sessions you can consult the associated wiki.
