Ado.net Old (1.1) and New (2.0) & Preparing for ASP.net 2.0 presented by Piyush Shah and Phil Winstanley
Date: Wednesday 13 July 2005Overview: Part 1 presented by Piyush Shah, in which Piyush will present & discuss on what you can expect in the new forthcoming ADO.net 2.0, comparing with the what’s available today. Part 2 presented by Phil Winstanley outlines what you can do within your current ASP.NET 1.x applications to ensure a safe smooth transition to ASP.NET 2.0. Any current ASP.NET developers should come to this talk. Location: Shipley, West Yorkshire Visual Studio 2005 Express Editions with Stephen Turner of Microsoft
Date: Thursday 14 July 2005Overview: In this presentation, we will take a look at Visual Basic Express, Visual Web Developer Express and SQL Server Express, currently in pre-release form, and examine how you can use these tools to create compelling applications quickly and easily. We will look at some of the starter kit applications provided in the box and also show how SQL Server Express Edition can be a valuable stepping stone to the fully-fledged product within your organisation. Location: Bristol Add Web Reference Reconsidered: Implementing Web Services the Other Way with Christian Weyer
Date: Wednesday 20 July 2005
Overview: This talk will show the caveats of Web Services as they are used today, merely stamped by code centric & object
oriented wizards. Learn how to think / act in a contract first manner when developing Web Services oriented applications. The interface contract is the most important piece for
a communication and defines the message exchanges between parties: this is what matters. Experience some tools including an extension for VS.NET for modeling service interface contracts that really can make your life easier.
Location: Stockport Triple X (XML, XPath & XSLT) with Richard Costall and David McMahon
Date: Monday 25 July 2005
Overview: XML, XPath and XSLT are three independently defined standards but in reality are three closely associated technologies. This presentation will talk about each of these technologies, what they were designed for, what they are used for and how they relate to each other. The presenters will illustrate the talk with many demonstrations, showing how to develop an ASP.NET Web Site with a SQL Server database that will present richly styled Web Pages without an ASP User Control or ASP Control in sight! Whilst the talk will use Visual Studio 2005 Web Express (Beta) and SQL Server 2005 (Beta) for the demonstrations, this talk is very much about a technology you can use TODAY with the technologies you currently have at your disposal. The presenters use these technologies regularly in their daily work and at the end of the talk you will realise what a fantastically powerful and exciting toolset XML, XPath and XSLT can be, and how easy it is to manipulate a simple document to obtain professional and dynamic Web Pages.
