January 2010 Meeting  

 At the January 19th GSP Developers' Guild meeting  John Spano will start the night with a mini presentation on .NET obfuscation and Joe Walling will follow with the main presentation, "Case Study of the Traffic Sponge". The case study will cover some of the design considerations, marketing plans, and lessons learned in developing this product. We will then discuss the technologies involved in building the application.

The application is a Winforms application that reads RSS feeds, provides online product registration services via WCF, and uses Click once to distribute the software. We will dive into the code showing how each of these technologies is incorporated into the product and some of the interesting issues encountered along the way. During this meeting we will spend a lot of time looking at the code and evaluating how and why it was done.

Feedback on the code will be welcomed. The online registration portion of the code will be made available to anybody that attends the meeting and wants it. This online registration could be used for any Winforms application where you want to allow your users to register from the application. ou could even set it up to allow them to buy from this form.
