I presented a session on event-driven architecture (with examples using NServiceBus) at Boise Code Camp yesterday. I had a great turnout and great feedback. Thanks so much to those who attended!

If you attended and have any feedback/constructive criticism, please leave a comment!

For those who missed the session - or for those who would like to see it again - you will get another opportunity. I will be presenting this session at NETDUG (in April, I believe). I am also submitting the session to Portland Code Camp.

Session Assets

As promised, I have included, in an archive:

• The slide deck
• The solution as completed during the session (CodeProgression.BCC2010)

I have also included:

• The solution with which we started (CodeProgression.BCC2010.Start)
• A solution based on a MassTransit sample (from which I based the NServiceBus sample)

If you are planning on working the NServiceBus sample from scratch, don’t forget to add the NServiceBus.Host.exe as the startup program for each endpoint project.

For the MassTransit solution, you may need to update the references\masstransit\MassTransit.RuntimeServices.exe.config to point to your local database.

Here is also a list of resources I used while preparing for this session:
