Using threads to increase application performance of high latency operations

Description:

Many modern IO APIs feature Asynchronous IO routines which can be used to increase responsiveness and throughput, but sometimes we have to use synchronous interfaces. I'm going to present a simulation of a real problem I encountered communicating with a peripheral device and demonstrate several incrementally improved solutions which result in overlapping much of the latency for each operation. Additionally I will present a special purpose message queue created for this purpose and demonstrate its benefits over other message queues in this application.

Speaker bio:

Nathan Moore (Zack's brother) currently works at Mercer Engineering Research Center (MERC) in the embedded software division. Before that he worked on firmware for Smart Grid devices.

The meeting will be in the Mercer University Computer Science building.

Topic:

Building Applications with jQuery Templates

jQuery has been one of the most successful and popular open source project. Microsoft's ASP.Net team has showed love by contributing support for templates.  In this session we will see how to format and render HTML strings from JSON in the browser. And how to take advantage of templates to build ASP.net applications that are rich, maintainable, responsive and interactive.

Bio:

Ritesh Kothari has over 11 years of professional experience and has assisted companies such as Unisys Corporation, Keane Consulting and BCD Travel in building large enterprise- wide applications. He focuses on high-end consulting in the Atlanta region and specializes in Microsoft technologies. At present, Ritesh is consulting with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as an Architect and Lead Developer building a highly scalable web-based solution.

Outside of work he is very active in local user groups, participates in GiveCamp, and has presented to Atlanta code camp, Gwinnett Georgia Microsoft User Group, Atlanta.net User Group and Microsoft Integration Architect User group on topics such as WCF, jQuery and ASP.net. He enjoys spending time with his wonderful wife and playing with 3 year-old daughter.

The meeting will be on September 20th at 7pm. There will be drinks and snacks.

Tell anyone and everyone that we'll be meeting on Mercer's campus in the Computer Science Building in Room 204.

See y'all there.

Location: Mercer Computer Science Building.

If you aren’t familiar with jQuery it is a very powerful and easy javascript framework.

Atlanta Code Camp is June 25, 2011

This is a great event covering a wide range of topcis, with local speakers.

I've been several times and I always get a lot out of it, and it is free.

But space is limited, so sign up.

Email me if anyone wants to car-pool.

Reminder that this coming Tuesday (17 May 2011) is the next .NET User Group meeting.

This month's topic is HTML5.

 So what is HTML5 and what's the big deal?

HTML is the language of the web and HTML5 is the next version of the HTML standard.

With the standard pretty much set and the latest version of all the major browsers now supporting it, HTML5 is poised to release a whole new wave of web sites that can rival anything written in Flash or Silverlight.

Meeting is at 7PM. in room 204 of the Computer Science building at Mercer University in Macon.

We have some HTML5 books and other items to give away as well as pizza and soft drinks.
