The tooling enables single step deployment to one, or 5,000 instances, in various ways, with multitudes of networking options, traffic distributions, etc. At the end I demo a sample application, using several of the Enterprise Tools & Open Source Tools many .NET Developers use, I deploy an application live.

Tuesday, February 14, 2012 - 7:00pm - 8:30pm

Bellevue Linux Users Group (BELUG) general meetings are held on the second Tuesday of every month from 7:00 p.m. Meetings officially end at 8:30, but everyone is welcome to stay longer (and many do).

     

 

Meetings are informal. Activities include short talks/presentations, discussing recent news about Linux and other free software, answering questions about almost anything related to computers, helping attendees install Linux, providing advice about how to study Linux, networking and exchanging job information.

As is the case with Linux and other free software, the meetings are absolutely free. They are free both in a monetary sense (i.e., there are no dues or other charges) and with regard to use (i.e., a diversity of ideas, comments, suggestions and questions is most welcome).

Everyone interested in Linux and/or other free software is invited — including absolute beginners.

Meetings are held at the Barnes & Noble bookstore in downtown Bellevue:

 

Barnes & Noble Downtown Bellevue
106th Ave. NE, Bellevue, WA
(425) 451-8463
E-mail: bellevuelinux at yahoo.com

 

Plenty of parking is available, and Barnes & Noble provides free validation. Should you prefer public transportation, the store is just a short walk west from the Bellevue Transit Center. Refreshments can be purchased at the conveniently connected Starbucks coffee shop. Wi-Fi is available in both Barnes & Noble and Starbucks.

We look forward to meeting you.
