About Presentation #01
Topic 1: Effective Web Farm Session State Management
Presenter: Joël Hébert, Microsoft MVP (ASP.NET)
Handling ASP.NET session state effectively can become a challenge. There exist scalability, performance and architectural bottlenecks associated with the various options that are available. This said there are numerous techniques and topologies that have been developed for web garden and web farm scenarios. Determining which option is best for your environment is key as no one technique is better than another; rather it is simply best suited. In order to determine suitability we will converse and demonstrate the various elements of each option and showcase coding implementations.
Topic 2: DO LESS. GET MORE.
Presenter: Wes MacDonald, Microsoft MVP (Team System)
This presentation will look at SharePoint 2007 in terms of user management, web parts, page branding and workflows. It will show you why you should be developing your applications on SharePoint 2007 and what you’ll need to get started.
Topic 3: Introduction to ASP.NET Dynamic Data
Presenter: Joël Hébert, Microsoft MVP (ASP.NET)
ASP.NET Dynamic Data is a web application scaffolding framework from Microsoft that can be used to build data driven web applications. It is packaged as an extension to ASP.NET and can be easily incorporated into a development project. This presentation will describe some of Dynamic Data’s key attributes and some of the scenarios in which it can be put to good use. We will also look at the ease with which Dynamic Data applications can be customized to meet your specific requirements.
