Psst! Wanna be where the action is? It is in LA this coming October.
But now is the time to get ready. This is one of the top technical events of the
year and I’m excited to be there Oct 27 to 30th at the LA Convention Center. It’s
your chance to connect with top architects and developers in the community, like
Ray Ozzie, Don Box, Ron Jacobs and many others.
Key Upcoming Technologies
You can explore “Oslo,” which will facilitate data-driven development and execution
of services and and applications. You can learn about the latest new technologies in
Visual Studio 2008 Service Pack 1 and .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1.
SP1 Features
Learn how to apply the IDE and tools to fully support SQL Server 2008 and the ADO.NET
Entity Framework. SP1 includes powerful new graphics features for client development
and rich data scaffolding, improved AJAX support, and other improvements for Web
development.
Where’s the Buzz?
There’s a lot of buzz sorrounding the ADO.NET Entity Framework and ADO.NET Data Services,
which simplify data access code in applications by providing an extensible, conceptual model
for data from any data source and enabling this model to closely reflect business
requirements.
Are you a speaker?
Maybe you are already up to speed on these topics? Maybe you’d like to speak about these
exciting new technologies? Are you town for the Microsoft PDC this October? Why not arrive
the weekend before and be a part of what should be one of the best-attended code camps ever!
