Microsoft ArcReady: Professional Patterns On The Job
Please Join Us For ArcReady:
Professional Patterns on the Job
You're smart. You deliver. What more could your company want from you? Why don?t they come to you for the big technical decisions? Why won?t they listen to your proposals? It seems like everyone has an agenda and they?re doing everything they can to kill your great ideas.
Join us this quarter as we focus on the soft skills that architects need to master. Learning these skills will boost your emotional intelligence and help you become a more professional, well rounded contributor. You?ll gain insight into the architect?s role as leader, influencer, and business professional and learn how to leverage your position to become a positive force within your organization.
Session 1: Mastering the Soft Skills In this session, we?ll discuss key interpersonal skills and how they can affect your projects and career. We cover how to positively connect with humans, how to participate in and influence the business processes you support, and how to transcend your technical role and maximize your connections with all members of your organization.
Session 2: Organizational Dynamics This session examines the dynamic nature of large organizations ? their structures, decision making processes, and political landscapes. We?ll discuss the goals of key business and technical decision makers and their influence on architects and software projects. We?ll conclude with some strategies for maximizing the soft skills from Session 1 to ensure successful outcomes for your projects and career.

.NET for Java Developers
Intertech?s Complete C# and the .NET Platform for Java Developers is designed to bring seasoned J2EE programmers up to speed on the C# programming language and the core APIs used within the .NET Platform. Here, Java developers will be provided with a concise treatment of how C# contends with the pillars of OOP, gain exposure to the .NET type system (delegates, generics, etc), understand the assembly format and examine numerous development tools.
Once the syntax and semantics of C# is understood, the remainder of the course will examine several core APIs, including LINQ (Language Integrated Query), Windows Forms and Windows Presentation Foundation (used to build .NET desktop GUIs), ADO.NET (.NET?s native database API), ASP.NET (the web development API of the .NET platform) and Windows Communication Foundation (.NET?s SOA implementation).
Who Should Attend:
This course is for proficient Java software engineers.
Prerequisites:
Students *must* be proficient Java software engineers with solid OO programming skills. No knowledge of C# or .NET is assumed or required.
Outline:
· Qualifying the Scope of the .NET Platform
· Understanding the Common Type System (CTS)
· Understanding the Common Language Specification (CLS)
· Understanding the Common Language Runtime (CLR)
· The Namespace, Assembly and Type Distinction
· The Role of Common Intermediate Language (CIL)
· Assemblies, Manifests and Type Metadata
· Paths to Managed Code: A Survey of .NET Languages
· The CLI: The Basis of .NET?s Platform Independence
· A Survey of .NET development tools

MSDN Northeast Roadshow
The 2008 Winter Northeast Roadshow
It?s time again for us to pack our computers, down incredible quantities of coffee, and return to the open roads to bring you our seventh Northeast Roadshow before (we hope) the snows of winter return to blanket the area.
Join us (code and road warriors Chris Bowen and Jim O?Neil) for a relaxed day of deep content for developers and architects, coming to six cities in December!
Four in-depth sessions, a lunchtime special focus, and you?ll get our senses of humor too, which we prefer to consider a good thing.
Register today and join us for a free, relaxed day of low-fluff, high-signal content for developers and architects!
THE AGENDA
8:15? Registration
8:30 - Morning Tech Update
Before we dive into the sessions, we?ll take some time to update you on the latest news, tools and technology from the developer world.
8:45 - Turbo Boosting for Web Developers: Using jQuery and ASP.NET 3.5 AJAX
Like things that help you go faster? Of course! That?s why we?re focusing this session on the powerful set of features that jQuery and ASP.NET 3.5 offer web developers. We?ll get up to speed with jQuery, a popular open source JavaScript library with powerful features, a concise syntax with chained commands, but at the same time is fully extensible via a plugin-based architecture. Microsoft will be distributing jQuery (as-is) with Visual Studio going forward, and offers IntelliSense support for jQuery as well. We?ll complement that with a look at the latest in ASP.NET 3.5 AJAX with Visual Studio 2008 to provide extra code-writing acceleration along the way. Like hitting ?Boost? in your favorite racing game, jQuery and ASP.NET 3.5 AJAX will have you speeding toward great rich internet applications in no time!
10:15- Workflow Foundation (WF) Steals the Show
As Shakespeare put it, ?All the world?s a stage?, and WPF and WCF love to bask in the limelight, but now it?s time for their cousin, Windows Workflow Foundation, to assume the leading role. We?ll go beyond the usual introductory demos to show that, despite lacking a third letter in its acronym, WF is a very powerful environment for building robust and scalable applications that capture complex and real-world business processes. From dashing good looks (a visual designer which you can even host in your own applications) to dazzling abilities such as new options for integration with WCF (both as a service provider and consumer), resumable programmable activities as building blocks, and built-in services for persistence, transactions, scheduling and tracking, WF is a standout performer for any application. We?ll have Hamlet saying, ?The Workflow?s the thing!?
11:30 - Lunch in the Lab: A Look at Tools & Tech from Microsoft ResearchGrab some lunch, get out your Bunsen burners and microscopes, and join us as we don lab coats and take a tour of the latest and greatest tools and technology from Microsoft Research. From developer tools that you can use today like CHESS and Pex, future tech like DryadLINQ, to the just plain cool of AutoCollage, Boku, and SecondLight, there?s a lot for us to experiment on. We promise not to set anything on fire in this lab, well, unless you ask nicely?
12:30 - Deeper into Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF)Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) has a rich set of features to create visually appealing, high-performance applications on the .NET Framework with declarative markup. And perhaps you?ve seen the ?hello world? demos and get the general idea. But you say ?Great! What else can I do with it?? Funny you should ask, because that?s exactly what this session is about. After a brief introduction to WPF, we?ll dive into the host of new features that .NET 3.5 Service Pack 1 has brought ? enhanced 3D capabilities, Visual Studio designer improvements, and more. We?ll cover important WPF topics such as interoperability with WinForms and achieving reuse via resources, templates, and user controls. Finally, we?ll round out the talk by showing the new WPF Toolkit, including new WPF controls like Calendar, DatePicker, and DataGrid. Now, aren?t you glad you asked?
2:00 - Adventures in Data with Silverlight, WCF REST, and ADO.NET Data ServicesYou?ve heard that REST is the talk of the town (well, the really geeky part of town) these days, but what does it mean to you, someone who needs to get work DONE? Get ready to improve your Silverlight skills, because this session features a practical, code-based focus on the use of the new WCF REST Starter Kit, ADO.NET Data Services (formerly Astoria), and databinding techniques to tap the power of RESTful services. A from-scratch implementation will be created, using Silverlight to build a data-centric application covering concepts such as the WebClient and HTTPWebRequest objects, syndication formats, cross domain policy, and data binding in XAML.
3:20 ? Wrap up, Evaluations, and Giveaways
