Date: Thursday 16 June 2005
Overview: It’s been five years since Microsoft shipped SQL Server 2000. We’ve not been idle :-) SQL Server 2005 offers a real wealth of new features for the software developer. Come along to this session and see how SQL Server integrates the version 2.0 .NET Common Language Runtime enabling you to develop for the database in languages such as C and Visual Basic. Well look at what can be developed, how we go about doing it and how we make use of the bits we’ve developed inside of SQL. Location:Reading ASP .Net 2.0 with Dave Sussman
Date: Monday 20 June 2005Overview::ASP.NET 2.0 brings great benefits for the developer with the oft-quoted benefit of "70 less code". For many areas of development this is true, such as with the new security framework to handle membership and roles, master pages to provide site templates and simple two-way data binding. When faced with a new technology its easy to fall into new feature overload and try and use everything, but there are occasions when you need to rein in your enthusiasm, using the technology only where its appropriate. So in this talk Dave will cover not only the new features, but also when they should be used. Location:Coventry The A to Z of XML Web Services presented by Mike Taulty from Microsoft
