John Hodgson will be presenting - Introducing Developer Features for Office "12" and Developing on the Office "12" System Servers

Introducing Developer Features for Office "12" The Microsoft Office "12" system is a breakthrough solution platform that includes clients, servers, services and tools. Built on XML and a set of new extensibility technologies, it gives you the solution building blocks you need to help to meet today's business demands more quickly than building from scratch. This session will walk through some of the new features for developers such as the XML file formats, Visual Studio Tools for Office v3 and the new user experience technologies such as Adaptive UI, Galleries and Ribbons.

Developing on the Office "12" System Servers - Part III of the Office "12" System for the developer; Using the Open XML Formats, the Office "12" System will offer a new set of servers and services to extend beyond the desktop and deliver productivity applications in a rich web based experience. In this session we will walk through some of these servers, such as Sharepoint Server 2007, Groove and Forms Server. It will discuss how to approach commonly requested tasks such as leveraging Sharepoint Server 2007 to access Office client applications like Excel through HTML

Also this month Peter Ward from Wardy IT Solutions will be presenting SQL Management Object

Do you find that day-to-day in your job you are 'fire-fighting' issues that could have been prevented if you had the time to perform proactive monitoring of the SQL Server instances in your enterprise; Or maybe that you would like to implement an enterprise management solution but are restricted by budget constraints. In this session, Peter Ward from Wardy IT Solutions will introduce SQL Management Object (SMO) and how applications and scripts can use this object to access the management features of SQL Server 2005. Peter will also demonstrate how SMO can be applied in the enterprise to assist in automating common administrative tasks as well as to extend the function ability of SQL Server.
