Event Breakdown

Guy Smith-Ferrier	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.

Marc Gravell	The Generic operators in V3.5 nugget.
The standard .NET languages do not support the standard operators (+, *, etc) with generics. Unexpectedly, .NET 3.5 provides a simple (and fast) solution to this and a host of related problems, that works even for your bespoke types. This short session shows you how you can take generics to the next level in your .NET 3.5 applications.
