Here are the Sessions briefs so you can determine better which session you want to attend:

Sessions Briefs: 

Applications today are expected to expose their data and consume data-centric services via REST. In this session we discuss ADO .NET Data Services or “Project Astoria” and see how we can REST enable your data. Then you will learn how to leverage existing skills related to LINQ and data access to customize the behavior, control-flow, security model and experience of your data service. We will then see how to enable data-binding to traditional ASP.NET controls as well as Silverlight Then switching gears we will look at consuming of REST services from any platform (including Ruby on Rails) using Visual Studio and the WCF REST Starter kit. We will conclude with a discussion on developing offline applications with the ability to sync back to the online data service. This is a very demo intensive session.

Adding Automation Support to .NET Applications using PowerShell
Mitch Denny
In this session Mitch Denny will show you how to extend your application so that you can expose management automation interfaces to system administrators and support staff so that they can integrate support for your application into your existing processes. In addition Mitch will show you how to host PowerShell itself within your own application to add a macro-style scripting language so that your customers can extend your products in interesting ways.

Topics covered will include:

 

Advanced Team Development Practices with Team Foundation Server
Mitch Denny
In this session Mitch will show you how to tackle some of the more practical aspects of team development using Team Foundation Server and the Visual Studio client tools. The session will cover:

1.       Establishing a source tree.
2.       Automating the build process using Team Build and MSTest.
3.       Linking builds using dependency replication for complex projects.
4.       Branching strategies that work in Team Foundation Server.
5.       Automating the deployment of builds from Team Foundation Server.

Data Access Hacks and Shortcuts
Stephen Forte
Struggling with Data Access? Who isn’t? Come and see some Data Access hacks and shortcuts that will make your life easier! In a high energy demo-only session, Stephen shows: how a mere mortal can pass a custom .Net collection to a stored procedure, improve your LINQ (to SQL, Entities, and 3rd party ORM) queries by eavesdropping on the server and understanding deferred execution, making complex data models easier to manage in the Entity Framework, creative Sliverlight databinding, and transforming your database back end to get enormous performance and productivity enhancements no matter what data access methodology you use. This is data access for the 21st century! Stephen will also provide guidance along the way about ORMs, LINQ to SQL, and the Entity Framework and will encourage Q&A.

Demos:

·  ADO.NET: Passing a Custom Collection to a Stored Proc
·  LINQ: Using SQL Server Profiler for eavesdropping on the conversation between your data access components and SQL Server
·  Entity Framework: Model Complex Relationships with Views
·  Astoria: Binding to Sliverlight
·  Database Architecture: Transform Data for Faster Performance

Happy BizTalk to you (Level: 400, Code: 02B03)
Mohammad Yousry
In this session we will take a look at the EAI patterns. We will show step by step how to implement some of these patterns in BizTalk orchestration.




Framework Design Guidelines (Level: 200, Code: 01V02)
Mohammed Meligy
Learn about guidelines that have helped the Microsoft .NET Framework grow as it is now in ten years of use! This session offers you the guidance learned from different Microsoft books and Patterns & Practices teams as well as independent consulting firms focused on framework guidance and OOP principles. The target is how to write maintainable code that is easy to use by different teams and projects in real life projects.



Managed Extensibility Framework: Overview (Level: 200, Code : 02F01)
Mohammed Meligy
The Managed Extensibility Framework (MEF) is a new extensibility model in the .NET framework that provides a simple declarative model for application developers and extenders to build openly extensible applications. This session is an introduction to the framework focused on those who need to develop open-ended applications that can easily be extended both internally and by third-parties. It moves from introducing typical Dependency Injection style libraries to the import/export/parts model that MEF uses for achieving interchanging extensibility.


Silverlight 2.0 Deep Dive:
Build High Performance, Localized, and Accessible Rich User Experience (Level: 300, Code: 02B02)
Yasser Makram
Building Rich UX applications demands features beyond beautiful graphics and impressive animations, including high performance, localization, and accessibility. In this session we will explore some Silverlight techniques to build beautiful graphics and animations, besides techniques to optimize performance, localize applications, add Arabic language support, and improve application accessibility.




C# 4.0, Is C# becoming JavaScript? The Tale of How Static Came to Peace with Dynamic (Level 200, Code: 02F03)
Yasser Makram
We are seeing convergence between Dynamic and Static languages in C# 4.0, beside some other exciting new features. In this session we will explore the new dynamic features of C# 4.0, and the potential benefits of them. We will also explore other new features including the parallel extensions, and using the compiler as a service.




Microsoft Visual Studio Team System Database Edition Overview (Level: 200, Code: 01V01)
Hosam Kamel
Visual Studio Team System (VSTS) Database Edition enables developers to apply agile practices to the database tier. VSTS takes "One Version of the Truth" for database objects and moves it into source control. See how it interoperates with external data sources like MySQL, Oracle, IBM DB2, and Microsoft SQL Server 2008.


.NET Universe (Level: 100, Code: 01F01)
Remon Zakaria
.Net Universe is the name that has been moving around in the air about the next generation in .net. that would include Visual Studio & Team System 2010, C#4, Oslo, the .net services & the live services which helps the developers create rapid business applications in no time & use the time and knowledge spent by Microsoft into their products to increase their productivity and provide more business value.

 

 

NAV+VSTO+WPF+MOSS=OBA

Marianne van Wanrooij
A simple sum or an advanced solution? Office Business Applications are powerful solutions to help information workers do their job more easy. Providing the information where and when they need it. This session, which consists mostly of demos, Marianne will show you how you can use information from a line of business application (Microsoft Navision) into a Office Word document, presented in a rich user interface using Windows Presentation Foundation, Visual Studio Tools for Office and LinQ to SQL. Of course we will use SharePoint as repository.

 

 

Integration of  VSTO add-in with SharePoint Content Types
Marianne van Wanrooij

Microsoft Office Sharepoint Server  has a lot of possibilities on document management. You can use document libraries and create your own content types. The data in the columns of your document library can be reused in the document as content In this session Marianne will show you how! You can also create custom field types if the metadata on a document provided by MOSS is not sufficient. But if you use custom field types you have to consider a couple of disadvantages. In this session Marianne will show you how to tackle these disadvantage using VSTO and integration of VSTO in MOSS.
