After a brief hiatus, the Auckland Architecture Chat is back again.

We will be meeting Thursday 17th June at 11:30am, Garrisons, Sylvia Park.

Some possible topics for this week.

• WebSharper - F# GWT equivalent.
• Awesome barcode hack
• Feature Oriented Solution layout (ala Ayende) - is this the new black for Project structure?
• Salt n Pepper - on corny
• Rest Versioning approaches.
• WiGig spec formalized. (7Gbps wireless networking backwards compatible with wifi).
• MVC Music Store - a new ASP.Net MVC2 sample app. (Let the bashing begin).
• How a Clojure pet project turned into a full-blown cloud-computing web-app - Clojure + GAE experience report - Lisp is finally practical from an infrastructure/hosting/deployment perspective.
• Documents 3.0 - How Wave+Google Docs are the future - Peter - this might be interesting to you specifically - and here's the official announcement.
• Cassandra by example - nice overview of Cassandra using twitter as an example - curious if anyone's had a play with this.
• SerialSeb finally releases OpenWrap - another .net package manager.
• How google builds API's... the templating and API exposure wizard is an interesting approach.
• Gen-i launches their "Cloud Hosting" service EC2 like service - except there's no API, you phone someone to get changes made (VM's spun up/down), The fee's are monthly and it takes a couple of days to provision a new VM.
• Reddit interviews Peter Novig (Google's Directory of
  Research) - I liked his comments on LISP vs. C++.
• SharpDOM - An internal DSL in C# for HTML. Nice example of what the new syntax improvements in C#4 allow you to do. Looks very smalltalk-y - a lot like the Seaside html internal dsl.
• Measuring Error Rates on forms - this is a cool example of a technique that I personally think should be built into every app framework - it's a great little indicator of usability problems.
• RavenDB from Ayende - now dual licensed, and has some quite attractive features for .Net Devs.
• Set based operations in RavenDB.
• Project Natal is now Kinect for xbox 360 - Microsoft's play for the casual gamer market.
• New xbox 360 - built in Wifi, no longer runs hot ... perhaps no more RRoD?.
• iPhone4 announcement.
• Course grained locks - I would be interested in discussing how people implement these etc.
• Jave Lambda syntax debate.
• Test Driven.Net 3.0 has been released.
• Teched 2010 North America sessions online.

The wave(s) this week can be found here and here.  FYI Google wave is now available to everyone, invites no longer required.  There is also a wiki with additional details about the Architecture chat.

Also - FYI - a couple of upcoming events.

• Tomorrow - Windows Phone 7 Metro developer event in Auckland.
• Next week - Citconf 2010 is being held in Wellington on June 25th 26th.

See you all tomorrow!
