Here's some news I'm very excited to share and want to disseminate before too long. In conjunction with Microsoft, several of the local .NET community leaders have been planning a brand new event for May 18th, 2005 called Betas 2005 Unleashed.
This event will focus on the up and coming technologies from Microsoft (Visual Studio .NET 2005 and SQL Server 2005) and will have a respective track for each. This FREE conference will focus on the technologies and will not (I repeat NOT) simply be a conference of fluff and PowerPoint. Each of the presenters will be diving right into the technology and will use it to drive their presentations.
In the Visual Studio .NET 2005 track we'll be discussing topics such as
- Web Development Platform - ASP.NET 2.0 (presented by yours truly)
- Smart Client Development Platform - Windows Forms, Mobile Development
- Visual Studio Team System
The SQL Server 2005 track provides the following
- SQL Server Developer Platform - SQLCLR, TSQL Enhancements
- Business Intelligence Platform - Reporting Services, Analysis Services, Data Warehousing
- Infrastructure Platform - Availability, Management, Database Mirroring
The conference venue will be the Miller Free Enterprise Center in the SLCC-Miller Campus in Sandy, Utah (9750 South 300 W). The full day event will be on May 18th, 2005 from 8:30 AM - 5:00 PM (breakfast will be provided at 7:30 AM).
Come one and all to what will be a fantastic event!
Registration is open to everyone!
