Eric Lee will be presenting - Introducing Team Foundation Server
We are very lucky to have Eric Lee, the Microsoft Product Manager for Team Foundation Server (TFS) presenting at the User Group this week. Eric has been Down Under for TechEd and is staying a few extra days.
Thanks to Andrew Coates and Adam Cogan (President of the Sydney .Net User Group and speaker at OzFox Lite earlier this year) we will be combining the VFP User Group with the .Net User Group for a special presentation from Eric.
This topic will be of great interest to anyone currently using Visual Source Safe, who are evaluating better options for source control plus all the extra features that TFS provides.
Users of Visual Studio 2005 will find this session particularly interesting as TFS extends the Visual Studio tool set into check-in policies, continuous integration and enterprise level source control.

Real World ClickOnce
Friday 1st September 2006
8:00am - 11:00am
ClickOnce is a technology that allows developers to write Windows Forms applications that utilise the powerful features of the client, yet are as hassle-free to deploy and update as a Web page.
ClickOnce provides a rich set of easy to use capabilities for deploying and updating smart client applications, including lots of options and ways of approaching things. Once you understand how to get your application out the door and updated, using the myriad of options that ClickOnce provides, lots of other questions arise, including how to make it more secure and how things will change in the future.
The problem for developers is that ClickOnce provides so much flexibility for getting your smart client applications into your users' hands. Come learn how to conquer the challenges of employing ClickOnce in real world enterprise environments. This session will quickly review the process of deploying an application with ClickOnce, focusing on what is placed where and what security mechanisms and configuration is involved. It will then cover how to move ClickOnce applications from development machines onto production servers including the server configuration required and the modifications needed to your manifest files.
Also covered will be how to version your ClickOnce applications to control who gets what version when, as well as how to tighten down security using trusted publishers and avoiding user prompting. (The goal being to take the "trust decisions" out of the users' hands and put them back into the control of your enterprise administrators).
Strategies for tracking application usage and restricting access to ClickOnce applications will also be discussed.

SQL Server 2005: Advanced Indexing Strategies
Friday 6th October 2006
8:00am - 11:00am
In this session we look at a fast-paced collection of indexing tips and tricks based on an already optimized base table structure. How you create your base table - as well as cluster it - has a big impact on that table's performance.
Once the base table structures have been defined and you have to further improve system performance, where do you look and how do you do this? In this session we will talk about targeting both the known and finding the unknown performance problems. Once you know where the problems are we'll go through numerous options to improve the performance using indexes.
