CSI Application Framework Workshop

Join us for a full-day hands-on workshop on Misha Charrett's CSI Application Framework. 

The CSI application framework has been developed over the last ten years to provide a simple and easy-to-use framework for application development to handle some of the basic application "plumbing" common to most applications. The framework has also been extended to provide some general utility routines, classes, and components, and offers generic inter-thread messaging, generic inter-process TCP communication, and abstracted database access.

We will start the workshop by examining the rationale behind the framework, its key elements, and how the various components interact to provide the framework's functionality. After this we will undertake various exercises that will provide attendees with some understanding of how to make best use of the varied functionality built into the framework. Towards the latter part of the day we will create a couple of simple applications utilising the generic inter-process TCP communication module to illustrate some benefits of the framework. If time permits we can discuss the applicability of the framework to various types of applications, and look at ways in which the framework could be enhanced. By the end of the day attendees should have sufficient understanding of the framework to be able to integrate the framework into their own software development process.

We will run this workshop as a pair programming exercise. So if you can't bring your own notebook we will aim to set you up as the partner of another participant with a notebook. The venue can only cater for up to 14 participants. We will close registration as soon as 14 people have registered. Please register here.

Misha has 14 years experience in object-oriented development, 11 of those using Delphi. He presented at the inaugural ADUG Symposium in 1999, again in 2005, and is an occasional presenter at monthly ADUG meetings in Sydney.
