Sharp Architecture (S#arp)
Sharp Architecture is an ASP.NET MVC template which builds a specific web and file system framework that enforces concepts and patterns such as loosely-coupled components, Domain Driven Design, dependency inversion, mocking, and more. Sharp Architecture comes preconfigured with NHibernate, Castle Windsor, log4net, MvcContrib, NUnit, and T4 Templates for your objects. In this demo I'll walk you through the structure of the template and discuss some important features that make Sharp Architecture worth checking out.

Publish/Subscribe Messaging framework
A Publish/Subscribe Messaging framework can be a great way to have an event driven architecture that reaches outside of the machine boundaries. Such a messaging framework can be used for gaining a better understanding as to what an Enterprise Service Bus might look like under the hood.

We will be looking at a functional demo and diving into the code of an application that was used to manage real time scoring of a robotic sporting event.
