Bing it on, Reactive Extensions!

Next Tuesday (May 14th, 2013) I will be presenting a small demo of how Reactive Extensions can help you out in a desktop application.

I’ll develop a small WPF app that will do internet searching via Bing.

Anyone in Bucharest is free to drop by and watch my demo or my colleague’s demo (Alexandru Gatej will be presenting “Aspects of plan caching and recompilation in Microsoft SQL Server”).

Location and time :

Beginning at 18:30 (Alexandru’s presentation will go first) at UBISOFT Romania ( <- click for map ), 2 Expozitiei Boulevard, district 1, Bucharest. Hope to see many people!

Efficiently serving binary content from SQL Server in ASP.NET MVC – local user group talk

This will be a local user group talk that I’ll be having, in Bucharest on Tuesday 13th of November.

Storing large binary objects (usually image files) in the RDBMS has been a blessing but for some is unconceivable. We will explore different ways to do this, from worse to best and we will take advantage of a new feature introduced by SQL Server 2012.

The location is TeamNet Int’l HQ – Sema Parc, Splaiul Independenţei nr. 319, clădirea RiverView, etaj 8
Except an ID there is nothing else that you need to bring in order to participate to the event.
Further geographical details.

The most popular way to get there is by taking the subway as there is a station right near the building.

The official announcement can be found on RONUA’s site.

See you there!

Later edit : It’s been great! Not too many people but keen to learn new stuff. Here’s two pictures from the talk. Notice a new generation of programmers forming 🙂

SQL Server 2012 local talk

Tuesday, July 10th, I’ll hold a small presentation on the new features of SQL Server 2012 for the database developer, consisting mainly of the sequences, new paging semantics and filetables.

I’ll post the code and slides soon after the presentation. I decided to drop (oh the irony) the slides.

Anyone close to Bucharest is more than welcome to come! Details can be found here.

The opening of the evening will be made by Alex Peta, presenting a cool notification system built upon JS and ASP.NET MVC 3.
