What: Room 101 & More than just a UML ORM for .NET?

Where: The Forum, Norwich, NR2 1TF

When: Wednesday 5th February 2014 @ 6.30pm

Sign-up: http://www.meetup.com/Norfolk-Developers-NorDev/events/158376552/

Room 101

Following the success of the Software Discussion Panel, Norfolk Developers is going to try a software related Room 101 based on the BBC TV show. Three contestants will take part in three software themed rounds and offer aspects of software development that they would like to see put into Room 101. At the end of each round the host will decide which contestants suggestion to put into Room 101. The contestants will make their choices prior to the event. The categories will be:

• Languages
• Process
• Wildcard

In the wildcard round the contestants can offer up any aspect of software development to go into Room 101.

Our three contestants are:

• Adam Wilson
• Time Stephenson
• Chris Holden


More than just a UML ORM for .NET? 

Scott Price

Capable Objects ECO framework is more than just another ORM for the .NET Framework.  Having used this tool for many years, Scott will discuss some of the advantages that have kept it as a tool in his component-set for many years, since before the Entity Framework was at Version 1.  From speed of designing a business model, flexibility of back end database persistence support, communications opportunities, strong UML and OCL support and advanced features such as Object Versioning.  This may be a fast packed session to cover so many of the features, hopefully of interest to other .NET developers.

Scott Price had been experimenting with computers and software since early teens, and not surprisingly has ended up involved with software, databases and custom systems.

Having started much of his early work with languages such as Pascal/Delphi, Java, C/C++ and other older languages, most of the past decade has been spent utilizing the .NET Framework.

Whist most of his time is spent consulting and working with and on corporate customers projects these days, he has enjoyed previous presentation opportunties with other developer groups (generally around London), and is very happy to be able to present some of these topics in Norfolk.

It's great to be back at the ACCU Conference 2025!

By
Last week I was back at the ACCU Conference in Bristol, for the first time since I gave an opening keynote in 2019 . In March 2020, COVID hit the UK and I got out of the habit of attending and speaking at conferences. Plus the ACCU Conference, and the organisation in general, took a big step back towards C++ and that hasn’t been relevant to me for nearly two decades. It’s taken until now, 2025 for me to want to talk again, and I was really pleased to be accepted for the ACCU Conference again. It was just a 20 minute session and I only attended for the day I was speaking. There was enough varied content for it to be interesting to me and I’m hoping to be back for the full conference next year. I really enjoyed attending and it was great to catch up with people I hadn’t seen for years. I felt re-engaged and particularly liked being asked if I’d been to nor(DEV):con . Learning to stop writing code (and why you won't miss it) Daisy Hollman I should have read the summary of the openin...

I, Robot

By
The Foundation series has been my go to for a good, enjoyable read over the last two years, so naturally I moved on to Asimov’s Robot series afterwards. However, the short stories in I, Robot were mostly a disappointment. They feel self indulgent, with too much philosophy and science, Asimov showing off, and not enough story. The most enjoyable moments come from the stories featuring Gregory Powell and Mike Donovan. Their banter and the relationship between them provide some much needed amusement and were easily the highlight of the book for me. However, it did give me food for thought for the current potential issues with the rapid development of AI at the moment, and the many concerns around safety. I wonder if all we need is: An AI may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. An AI must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law. An AI must protect its own existence as long as such p...

Write Your Own Load Balancer: A worked Example

By
I was out walking with a techie friend of mine I’d not seen for a while and he asked me if I’d written anything recently. I hadn’t, other than an article on data sharing a few months before and I realised I was missing it. Well, not the writing itself, but the end result. In the last few weeks, another friend of mine, John Cricket , has been setting weekly code challenges via linkedin and his new website, https://codingchallenges.fyi/ . They were all quite interesting, but one in particular on writing load balancers appealed, so I thought I’d kill two birds with one stone and write up a worked example. You’ll find my worked example below. The challenge itself is italics and voice is that of John Crickets. The Coding Challenge https://codingchallenges.fyi/challenges/challenge-load-balancer/ Write Your Own Load Balancer This challenge is to build your own application layer load balancer. A load balancer sits in front of a group of servers and routes client requests across all of the serv...
