Patterns for securing web services and web APIs
by Christian Weyer and Dominick Baier
The service pattern is pervasive – either operation centric (aka SOAP) or resource centric (aka REST). The security challenges are the same in both worlds – authentication, authorisation and secure communication. Common scenarios are direct authentication (like passwords or client certificates) as well as brokered authentication where the identity provider is external (at least to the application). This talk walks through those common scenarios and shows the architectural and technical approaches to design and implement those services in a secure fashion.

Because you suck at design patterns
by Gary Short
In this session we’ll look at a number of common mispractices and misconceptions that the speaker has seen in his 20 years of experience using design patterns. Together, we’ll examine them and look at fixes for them, so that, by the end of the session, you will no longer suck at design patterns. :-)

Parallel patterns
Herb Sutter famously coined the phrase “the free lunch is over” back in 2005, when it became clear that processor clock speeds were no longer obeying Moore’s law. If developers wanted applications to go faster they could no longer rely on greater clock speeds, they would need to think differently and restructure their code to take advantage of multiple cores in order to get better and better performance. It turns out parallelising all but the most trivial piece of code is challenging. .NET 4 attempts to assist the developer by providing support in the framework to assist parallelising algorithms through the use of parallel constructs like Parallel.For, and Parallel LINQ and a variety of concurrent data structures. The framework vendors would like you to believe that the free lunch is now back, but whilst they can deliver a moderate free lunch, if you truly want a gut-busting free lunch you will have to deploy a range of tricks for your algorithm to take full advantage of those multiple cores.

Entity Framework and the repository pattern
.NET 4 comes with a version of Entity Framework that is fit for purpose. Entity Framework is Microsoft’s ORM, their version of NHibernate. Entity Framework version 1 forced developers to be tightly coupled to Entity Framework, this goes against traditional ORM technology and creates problems for unit testing. Entity Framework 4 fixes this problem via POCO support. However it is still up to developers to work out how to utilise the technology to truly loosely couple application logic from business logic. This talk will take you through these new features and show how the repository pattern can be deployed with Entity Framework to provide a testable and loosely coupled solution.

Design patterns in depth [workshop]
by Allen Holub
Without good OO structure, Agile development, which mandates constant refactoring, fails. Design Patterns help by providing classes of solutions to common programming problems. Patterns, however, are usually presented in a catalogue format that gives you no feeling for how the patterns are actually applied in the real world, where the patterns interact in complex ways.
This class discusses both good object oriented structure and the most commonly used design patterns, using an in-depth analysis of real code that demonstrates how the patterns work in context. We’ll also cover interface-based design and the make up of a well-structured object and class hierarchy.
The extensive code examples are in Java, but they should present no problem to C++ or C# programmers.
