Event Details

Writing a full-fledged Rich Internet Application presents a number of daunting challenges: forced n-tier, async, latency, validation, concurrency, and authentication. WCF RIA Services simplifies and streamlines the process with support for query composability, change-tracking and batch updates, attributes for presentation and data validation, shared code and async support. In this seminar Tony will pull back the curtain to show you how RIA Services performs its magic, and he’ll provide tools and techniques to reduce the time and effort required to build Silverlight business applications.
Anthony Sneed is an instructor and author for DevelopMentor, where he teaches numerous courses on C# and .NET. He has authored two courses: Exploring .NET, which surveys the principal pillars of .NET (EF/LINQ, WCF, WPF/SL , RIA Services, MVVM, MEF), and Entity Framework 4.0 with Data Services, which takes a deep dive into the latest version of Microsoft’s flagship ORM product.
Tony has over 15 years experience in software development, focusing primarily on distributed application architectures. Prior to joining DevelopMentor, he worked as a lead developer and architect for the Walt Disney Company, where he designed enterprise-wide services for application security.
Tony has appeared at Microsoft’s TechEd conference and is a frequent speaker at developer groups throughout the country. He has written articles for various technical publications, including MSDN Magazine, and shares his technical expertise on .NET via his blog. You can follow him on Facebook and Twitter.
