Coding Dojos

The coding lab will be in the style of a 'Coding Dojo'.

If you would like to understand what a 'Coding Dojo' is, David Flanders has kindly put together this video:

[Principles behind Coding Dojos]

Introduction

This lab will show you the ins-and-ots of the Microsoft Zentity platform. We'll be particularly focussing on the programmability and linked data aspects of this repository platform. A this is a Code Dojo, you'll be doing all the programming, so it should be a blast.

We will be investigating:

- How to deposit resources using .NET

- How to search for and pull back results using RSS and AtomPub

- How to visualise the linked data

You can read more about Zentity @ [1]

Note we will be using Visual Studio and C# for some of this, although we encorage participants to use their own preferred languages and tools. Please edit the list below to let us know what you like :)

- Visual Studio/C#

- .NET
