| Although not directly relevant to my current rich client work, was interesting. |
| Mark Dickens |
| Guy is a great speaker. With a great mixture of slides and demos he showed us just how powerful ADO.NET Data Services are going to be. I was able to make use of this new technology the very next day. Fantastic! |
| Adrian Pickering |
| Interesting event let down only by under-ordering food. I know at least three people (myself included!) managed a but single slice of pizza. |

It's actually called ADO.NET Data Services, but you try making a joke out of that. Formerly Astoria, but now ADO.NET data services, Guy Smith Ferrier, International Speaker, Author and Community Guy hops over to Cambridge to talk about this technology and how it will save developers 1,000's of lines of code and bring the big stick of power to Ajax and Silverlight Applications.
Plus we'll be taking a new devliery of pizza and hopefully they'll be a nugget!

Microsoft Codename "Astoria" |
The emergence of Web 2.0 technologies has brought new opportunities and caused us to solve old problems in new ways. AJAX and Silverlight applications need read/write access to data and business objects without performing full page refreshes and without dumbing down the data so much we are just left with primitives. Microsoft's answer to this problem is Microsoft Codename "Astoria". In short "Astoria" is a data access layer for client-size technologies such as AJAX and Silverlight. This session shows how it works, how you can write "Astoria" data servers and how you can customize "Astoria" to your applications requirements.

Windows Clippings ... |
| The other day Ben found the joy of Windows Clippings (http://www.windowclippings.com/). It is a great little application, just sits there and works. Ben will show what it can do and how it can make life easier. |
