AGENDA:
1:1 - 2:15pm - Building Rich Internet Applications with Silverlight
Microsoft® SilverlightTM is a cross-browser, cross-platform plug-in for delivering the next generation of .NET based media experiences and rich interactive applications for the Web.
2:15 - 3:15pm - Windows Live Platform
This session provides a comprehensive look at the Windows Live collection of services, capabilities, software, and APIs, etc., as well as examples of how the various services can be incorporated into solutions.
3:30 - 4:30pm - How Does Design Impact Architecture
For the past few years Architecture in the IT industry has largely focused on data centers. While it is important to get these operational items right, none of them have ever closed a deal, made an important business decision, or created a new market. As these IT architectures mature, it is time to return the focus of architecture to where it can have the biggest impact and greatest value for the business: the user.
3:30 - 4:30pm - How Does Design Impact Architecture
Attendees will get a hands-on chance to explore Microsoft Popfly, a new mashup that will help ground all of the early sessions.
7:15 - 8:15pm - Microsoft Keynote: Software + Services
The future business application landscape is a combination of local software and Internet services interacting with one another. Software makes services better and services make software better. And by bringing together the best of both worlds, we maximize choice, flexibility and capabilities for our customers .
