The O2 Architecture - SoC way down the Rabbit Hole
When:	Wednesday, 8/18/2010 at 6:30 PM
Where:	Microsoft San Francisco Office, 835 Market Street, Suite 700 San Francisco
Event Description
The O2 Software Architecture is an evolution of the way we think about objects in our systems. Built on ideas evolved from the ideas of Terje Reenskaug (MVC), Alan Kay (SmallTalk), Steve Russell (Lisp), Ole-Johan Dahl (OOP), Kristen Nygaard (OOP), Martin Fowler (DDD) and many more - the O2 Software Architecture suggests a different approach to Object Oriented Programming, though still within the context of C# and the CLR. Thomas Hansen, the O2 Architecture's inventor will talk about the O2 Architecture and also show an existing Open Source framework, Ra-Brix coupled with Ra-Ajax, implementing it for the Web on top of ASP.NET. After this session you will be armed with all the tools and know-how needed to significantly reduce the risk, increase your productivity and soar the re-usability of your code through-out your projects.
