| Member Quotes |
| Chris Bell |
| The astoria talk was well presented and covered all of the current knowledge on the subject, but still left tantalising glimpses at what could come. |
| Richard Allen |
| Guy was a fabulous speaker and will definitely be knocking on his door to get him in for another talk. |
| Neil Robbins |
| Shame about the elephants next door - but that couldn't spoil an excellent evening! |
| Neil Robbins |
| Very interesting keyword, hadn't come across the Full text index query stuff before, and could straight away see useful applications of this. I'd more than welcome seeing the full presentation with all 10 keywords. |
| Ron Watson |
| Excellent event especially considering that this was the first. If future events are as good as that one, I will be joining the NxtGenUG. |
| Steven Elliott |
| Very well presented. If the next one is as good as this, and an event in southampton becomes a regular fixture, I will become a paid up member. An enjoyable evening. |
| Steven Elliott |
| Very usefull. In fact, I found a use for containstable today :) |
| Adrian Sutcliffe |
| I had been meaning to look into Astoria for a while when Guy's talk came up. This really saved me a lot of effort. Guy covered the basics well and answered all questions. I wish I had Guy's knack of picking up a new technology quickly. Must be something that gets issued to MVPs. |
| Adrian Sutcliffe |
| I saw this presentation at SQL bits and as a non-SQL server user it was good revision. Dave's sessions are always fun and informative. Outside of the MS crew I think he sets the standard for speakers in the UK. |

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.
