Last Friday, september 16th, we had a meeting of the SDN user group. As always an enlightening experience.
The theme was integration Now the SDN is a user group of coders, but with the new tools there is not that much left to code. Take the talk on WCF
When it comes to WCF enabling your coding it is a matter of setting some attributes and filling in a configuration file. For the latter there are some wizards. One of the speakers jokingly described their IT staff as "Next, Next, Next, Finish" wizard magicians. With WCF and WSE programmers seem to be heading the same direction. The advantage of being a coder is that you are supposed to understand what is going on. So when you fill in your wizard you do know what you're doing. The talks on the meeting did help, but I do feel a little sad on the conclusion.
