June 16th 2009 Meeting  

This month, we have 2 presentations

1. An Introduction to Winforms User Controls by Seth Spearman

In this presentation, Seth will cover the following on Winforms user controls:

  • What are they

  • How to make them

  • How to test them

  • How to debug them when they won’t open in the designer

  • Proper use of Events in them

Seth Spearman founded SpearSoft LLC and has been a self-employed contract developer for 10+ years. Most of that time he was developing professional/commercial grade Microsoft Access applications and has been doing .NET development for approximately 3 years. Much of his .NET experience has been spent writing CSLA business objects.

2. Domain Driven Development by Rick Casebere

Rick is going to cover the basics of Domain Driven Development. After explaining what Domain Driven Development is and why you would use it, he is going to show how you can use ECO (Enterprise Core Objects), a tool by Capable Objects, to create a .NET application directly from your Domain Model.

Rick first came to Greenville to work for Builder Marts of America (BMA). Many well known Greenville entrepreneurial startups trace their lineage to BMA. Among these are: Enterprise Computer Systems (now part of Activent), Tel/Man (bought by MCI), Corporate Telemanagement Group (now part of Qwest Communications), Ionosphere, and New South Communications (now part of NuVox). Rick was with each of these companies at their inceptions designing and programming their first computer systems.

Rick now develops custom .NET software applications for Vision Business Solutions and its Enterprise Resource Planning customers. He has a BS degree in Applied Science from Miami University in Oxford, Ohio.

On weekends you can find him at Lake Keowee, either in the water or playing 18 holes at one of the many beautiful golf courses there.
