Do you miss the old Dev Days events? Do you wish that
you could attend a TechEd or PDC, but don’t have the time or budget to get
to one? Well, The Big Event is for you. Come spend a day with us as
we delve into developer and architect topics during the day. With a mix of
some your favorite local presenters as well as some from Redmond.
The day will begin with a keynote from the Microsoft
Patterns and Practices team. Peter Provost, a senior development lead
from P&P will join us to discuss what P&P has delivered and how you can get
started with their guidance.
The day's events will cater toward both developers and
architects, with tracks accommodating both audiences. For developers, Rob
Bagby will discuss exposing and consuming data using the Microsoft
stack. He'll explore new data services frameworks for developers to exploit.
Developers will also be able to learn how to use Office as a developer
platform and realize the power of integrating functionality within Office
applications themselves, using managed code! We've also brought in VB
developer extraordinaire Beth Massi from the VB team to talk about
what is new in VB9 for developers and some surprises you might not have
known about. This line-up is must see!
The architect track will examine topics such as why
user experience matters. Discussions around why we should be paying more
attention to the user experience and what mistakes inhibit application
adoption. Peter Provost from P&P will also discuss Agile Development
methodologies at Microsoft and how it has been adopted. Finally the Live
Platform will be examined. Live is much more than search and Virtual
Earth...this session will examine the whole Live platform offerings
available to architects.
This really is going to be a great day of
interaction! |
|
|
The
event is completely free to attend for anyone
(registration is required). More details at the registration
link above, we look forward to you attending! |
