{Heroes Happen Here} Community Launch - 6 sessions in May 2008

  • Article

After a full Launch event on the 10th of March and a sold out TechDays event on 12th and 13th of March, some of you were unable to register and participate.

The good news is the Visual Studio User Group is planning 6 sessions around the new Visual Studio 2008, partly a re-delivery of TechDays sessions. Register now as places are limited. You have the choice between three different sessions being delivered each of them at two locations. Easier for you as you can assist to a session closer to home.

Here is the list of sessions with the corresponding dates.

In this session we will look at building services with WCF, getting our hands dirty through building a service live, in front of your eyes. After this session you should have a clear understanding of the development life-cycle for WCF, the advantages of using WCF and how to proceed with it yourself.
