Meeting Agenda

Thursday July 9 2009 at Microsoft

  1. Developing on the Google App Engine by Nathan Voxland of Intelligent InSites
  2. Developing with F# by Nathaniel Neitzke of LightHouse1

Google provides cloud hosting but requires you to develop under numerous conditions. Voxland created an application hosted with the Google App Engine and was featured on Apple's App store. Written in Python, he will explain what programming for Google's App Engine is like.

F# is a programming language that provides the much sought-after combination of type safety, performance and scripting, with all the advantages of running on a high-quality, well-supported modern runtime system.

Neitzke has been working with F# for a long time and will show why this .Net language is very popular.

Welcome Developers

The FM .Net UG is a free and easy way to see what others in your community are doing. This is a place where you can get ideas and talk about any coding problems.

We usually meet on the 2nd Thursday of the month. We alternate between presentation style meetings and round table meetings.

Presentation Style
When we have a presentation style meeting, we meet 6:30pm at Microsoft (directions). The meeting is located in the Vista building on the North side of the Microsoft campus. Enter on the North side of Vista, and we will gather in the waiting room. The meeting room has a window to the waiting area, so if you are late just dance and we'll let you in.

Round Table Meetings
When we have a round table style meeting, we meet 6:30 pm at a coffee shop or bar/resturant (usually at Pepper's on South University). This meeting style is much easier to just talk to your peers about whatever technology issue that has been bothering you. For example, we have been discussing cloud storage / cloud computing and how these technologies could impact our software design.
