Distributed Computing with XML

International .NET Association Pakistan Chapter, IEEE NED Student Branch and NED.net User Group invites you to attend an hour long seminar on Distributed Computing with XML Web Services using .NET by Muhammad Saqib Ilyas on Saturday April 9, 2005 at 2 pm. Registration closed.

Venue:

Lecture Theatre, Department of Computer and Information Systems Engineering, NED University Karachi

Seminar details:

This seminar will provide a realistic, hands-on, comprehensive coverage of developing Web services using ASP.NET and C#. Web services are an evolving series of standards that enable programs on various computers to communicate with other programs on similar or disparate computers transparently over the Internet. The speaker will talk in detail the skills needed to program Web services using ASP.NET. It also examines the fundamentals of SOAP and WSDL essential for creating interoperable Web services. The discussion will include the various security issues and technologies in Web services such as Basic HTTP, HTTPS, (SSL 3.0), XML Signature, XML Encryption, XML Key Management Specification (XKMS), Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) and WS-Security.

Run MonoDevelop on Monoppix

In order to run MonoDevelop in Monoppix you need to do the following. Goto Start Applications, Quick Broweser, Root Directory, KNOPPIX, usr, bin and choose /KNOPPIX/usr/bin and select "Open In Terminal". In the console window write "monodevelop" without quotes to start the IDE.

I really like the IDE, still exploring it, but according to me its my Mono VS :). However I am still unable to compile and run applications, but will give it another try sometime later.

Country Leader Speaks at NED.net

I would like to take this moment to thank the attendants of our user group event which ws held on March 12, 2005 on Open Source Implementations of .NET where we discussed the various open source implementations of the CLI(Common Language Infrastructure), namely,
OCL from Intel, Mono from Ximian, DotGNU from the GNU project and SSCLI from Microsoft.

We also took a look at the components of the Mono project, namely, the mono runtime and JIT compiler, the mono documentation, and the XSP ASP.NET clone web server. In this event, I
showed the audience the RPMs for the project, and the source tarballs and gave a brief demo of how to install an rpm. I also displayed how to build and install mono-1.0.2 from source. Due to the complex nature of the system, I couldnt build the entire system from either RPM or source, which is fact of life when you are working on Linux, so some people were not very clear about it.

I also mentioned the Monoppix product, which is a free tool that has an ISO image which you can burn on a CD-R and boot your machine off it. It would boot into a gnome X-Window session with mono and XSP running. Due to the varied Linux skill level of the audience, I believe that the session was not universally equally useful. I once again thank you for your presence during the session and your feedback (both positive and negative). I am going to make sure that I
incorporate your useful suggestions in my future sessions and if you would like to make any other suggestions or criticism on email, please feel free to do so on our mailing list or directly to me here.

Unfortunately, I have had a nagging cough for the last week or so, so I was unable to quite effectively deliver the content as effectively as I usually do. I hope to get over that in the next session. I would also like to inform you at this time that I am planning a full-blown workshop on Linux basics in April. The workshop will be for beginners. It will not be free, it will have a very small token fee. The participants will be provided with a certificate of attendance. Those who are not so comfortable with Linux should watch out for that. The registration for that workshop will be on first come first served basis.

By,
Muhammad Saqib Ilyas.
INETA Pakistan Country Leader.

Open Source with .NET

International .NET Association Pakistan Chapter, IEEE NED Student Branch and NED.net User Group wants to invite you to attend a free seminar on Working with Open Source Implementations of .NET by Muhammad Saqib Ilyas on Saturday March 12, 2005 at 2 pm. Registration has been closed for this event.

Venue

Lecture Theatre, Department of Computer Science and Information Systems.
NED University.

Description

The Mono open-source .NET project is led by Linux and UNIX software firm Ximian. The group is working on an open source implementation of the .NET framework that you can use on UNIX and Linux machines, as well as Windows. Mono includes a compiler for the C# language, a Common Language Runtime (CLR) for the Common Language Infrastructure (CLI) and a set of class libraries. It also has implementations for both ADO.NET and ASP.NET. The goal is to provide a rich set of class libraries which are not only compatible to Microsoft .NET implementation but also provide much more functionality for the end user.
