Sydney, 1st March 2002 - Adam Cogan, Regional Director of the Microsoft Developer Network and Managing Director of SSW, has announced a new series of breakfast seminars based on the Microsoft .NET platform. SSW has been holding technical breakfasts for 3 years and now the new ones are based on Visual Basic .NET, ASP .NET and XML Web Services. The seminars are held in Sydney once a month from 7.30am - 10.00 am to fire up delegates before the working day.

"SSW has been developing solutions and services in Microsoft Technologies for over 10 years and have been working with .NET for over 12 months now. We have had brilliant results in time and cost savings in delivering applications to clients that could never have been achieved with Microsoft's old COM model. With .NET, Microsoft has changed the development process, by unifying languages into a single framework. It is a unique set of developer tools, which has given our developers the ability to build systems that are far better than even 12 months ago - all our .NET clients have been extremely happy with the results". Cogan said.

".NET gives life to rich clients (using Winforms). One of the key unique benefits of .NET is that rich clients can connect to the same data source via web services - giving the best user experience. Applications will work on other forms such as PCs, mobile phones, hand helds."

The seminars are limited to 12 delegates to encourage interactive discussions and questions. Participants are both developers and managers of web services, who are interested looking deeper into the elements of .NET.

Each breakfast seminar costs $110 (incl GST) and kicks off with a hearty and healthy breakfast to get through the intensive sessions.
