Gave a great overview of ADO.NET Entity Framework, and its differences from Linq to Sql, so much so already looking to implement it into our projects.

Event: That's Entity-tainment!

Mike Taulty, stalwart of the UK Microsoft Developer Platform Evangelist (DPE) Group, has decided he needs a bit of sea air, and so is heading for the South Coast to mix it up with those enthusiastic chaps of NxtGenUG Southampton. It looks like Mike and Daniel Moth are trying to collect the full set of NxtGenUG regions! Mike tonight talks about the new Microsoft Entity Framework and NxtGenUG member and Ready Steady Speak! 'Hero' Neil Robbins delivers his second nugget this time on IIS 7.0. Rockin'!

If you are not a member of NxtGenUG, you are more than welcome to attend. We just ask you register on the site, to help us to plan numbers and refreshments. Once registered on the site, you can then register for this event from this page.

Event Breakdown

Mike Taulty	ADO.NET Entity Framework
ADO.NET Version 3.0 raises the level of abstraction at which we deal with relational data in applications by adding a new managed provider which uses a conceptual model which it maps to the actual tables and views of your database schema. This has the advantage of providing the Entity Relationship model that application developers want to code against whilst isolating the application code from the specific language (e.g. T-SQL, PL/SQL) and engine (e.g. SQL Server, Oracle) of the store. In this session we’ll take a good look at the Entity Framework from its mapping layer through to its EntitySQL language and on to its Object Relational Mapping capabilities and LINQ.

Neil Robbins	IIS 7.0
After his great session at Ready Steady Speak! Neil will deliver a nugget on IIS 7.0, but we can't tell you what the details are as he ain't told us yet! It'll be great anyhow ...
