by David Hayden ( Microsoft MVP C# )
See you in Tampa on Thursday ( September 13, 2007 ) for the MSDN Event on LINQ, WCF and Silverlight.
Register.
Session 1 | New Thinking in Data with LINQ and Visual Studio 2008
In this session, you’ll learn the architecture of LINQ and the C# and Visual Basic extensions for writing queries within the development tool you’re already comfortable with. You’ll see specific scenario demonstrations including LINQ to SQL, LINQ to XML and more.
Session 2 | Building an Effective Messaging Infrastructure with WCF
This session will educate and inform both developers and architects about how to build and configure services in WCF using a variety of real-world scenarios as examples. After a brief review of WCF’s code concepts, we’ll explore techniques for building an effective messaging infrastructure, taking advantage of WCF’s many built-in services, including security, transactions, reliability and durability.
Session 3 | Light up the Web with Microsoft Silverlight
In this session, you’ll learn all about Silverlight from a developer’s perspective, including how to build rich, interactive applications using the developer IDE of choice, Visual Studio, as well as Microsoft’s powerful new designer tool, Expression Blend. You’ll also see how to create dynamic experiences with the Extensible Application Markup Language (XAML), how to manipulate the overall application or experience with code, and how to retrieve data and media from a Web service and incorporate it all into a Silverlight application.
