Get techniques for better searching, data validation, configuration management,
error trapping, code standardization, plugging in cool 3rd Party controls and any
other routine capabilities of data applications, with minimal code. See the end
result: a set of tools and techniques will super charge your next app.
Session 2
ASP.NET Whidbey is the current name for the next version of ASP.NET. Adam Cogan
will give a talk on: ASP.NET Whidbey overview, working with data, caching improvements
to significantly boost the performance of the next generation of ASP.NET applications,
master pages for consistent web sites, new membership features, and personalization.
Session 3
OK so you know about how the new powerful reporting platform from Microsoft
will change the landscape of enterprise reporting. Come see Sydney based SQL Guru
and MS Regional Director Adam Cogan show the developer features of this latest addition
to the Microsoft SQL Server family of products. You will see real world examples
of this server-based platform when used for creating, managing, and delivering both
traditional, paper-oriented reports and interactive, Web-based reports. Reporting
Services combines the data management capabilities of SQL Server and Microsoft Windows
Server with familiar and powerful Microsoft Office System applications to deliver
real-time information to support daily operations and decisions.
Session 4
Come see an advanced code packed session will show you how to extend the out-of-the
box features of Reporting Services. Everyone who has an Exchange Server 2000/2003
should be reporting on it but nobody does. Following this, we will explore the creation
of a real Reporting Services solution. You will learn about the important issues
of security, data access, rendering, and delivery. We will also discuss the deployment
issues of an application that requires Reporting Services. Sample code is provided
so you can use this useful solution.
Session 5
Using a hands on approach, this course takes you through some advanced programming
techniques for rapid development of high quality code in Visual Studio .NET such
as defining tasks; test first coding; re-factoring; spiking; automated testing and
automated builds. Let Adam take you on a fast-paced journey that will change your
coding methods forever.
