Next Meeting
We finally get out of the theory and object focus and into the User Interface (UI). I'm going to skip Chapter 14 (C# 3.0 Language Enhancements) for now so we can cover Chapter 15 (Basic Windows Programming) - and I want to spend a little time worknig on a utility.
After learning about basic Windows Forms UI, we'll create a utility that "crawls" through a durectory structure looking for log files. We'll make good use of recursion to make sure we don't miss any files. Each file will be opened and read for errors or any failures that might have occurred. All the issues we find will be placed in an XML document, and when we are done - we will open Internet Explorer to display the XML within. This will allow us to get a quick exposure to the FileInfo, Directory, DateTime, StreamReader, TextReader, XML Document Object Model, XmlTextWriter, and InternetExplorer objects

About The Speaker
Ken Koteles has over 23 years of experience in progressively responsible positions encompassing computer programming, management, operations, and engineering utilizing innovative and creative approaches to problem-solving and decision-making based on a solid and diversified technical background for companies including the United States Navy, General Electric, Combustion Engineering, Asea Brown Boveri (ABB), Vectra Technologies, Spherion Corporation, JM Family Enterprises, SpecSoft, Incepture, First Coast Service Options, TEK Systems, and Bank of America. After receiving a B.S. in Aerospace Engineering from the US Naval Academy, Ken qualified as Engineer on naval nuclear power plants, certified as a Senior Reactor Operator on civilian Boiling Water Reactors (BWRs) and began realizing the computer was a great tool that could be used to help solve engineering problems. From there, it was just a matter of time before he realized he could be home every night working with programming full time instead of being on the road in the nuclear engineering field. One of Ken’s current interests is Rocky Lhotka’s CSLA framework. Having worked as a mentor with junior developers, he sees an enormous benefit in using CSLA to minimize a developer’s learning curve in coming up to speed on the complexities of the .NET framework.
