| "Practically Done" .NET Events |
|
Not everybody can take a week off from work to attend a technology conference that may be thousands of miles away and cost a fortune. Most of the time, those conferences cover technologies that won't be released for months or years, anyway. ASPSOFT recognizes the need for local, single day workshops that focus on current .NET technologies that you can apply to your projects today.
"Practically Done" .NET Events feature:
- Industry recognized speakers.
- Top quality facilities with tables and individual power outlets for laptops.
- Catered continental breakfast and lunch with snacks and beverages served throughout the day.
- Code samples provided on DVD when you arrive so that you can follow along.
- Frequent chances during and after the event to meet with the speaker and ask questions.
- The choice to attend on a weekday or on a Saturday.
- Prizes!
You get everything above and more for as little as $135 per person. We look forward to seeing you at an event very soon!
Data Access Done Right Speaker: John Papa Location: Orlando, FL
Data access is an integral component of an enterprise application’s architecture. Retrieving data, saving data, passing data between tiers, presenting data to a user interface, and managing transactions are all important pieces of a data access strategy. In this “Practically Done” workshop, Microsoft MVP John Papa will show you how to apply these techniques in your multi-tier applications today using Visual Studio 2005. The topics that will be covered in detail are:
- ADO.NET library
- Enterprise Library’s Data Access Application Block
- Building custom business objects
- Self-validation of business entities
- System.Transactions
- Presenting data to and from WPF, ASP.NET and Windows Forms .NET
In addition, John will give you a look into the future of data access through demonstrations of Microsoft's Entity Framework, LINQ and DLINQ technologies using Visual Studio 2008. This is one event that you don't want to miss! |
