LINQ   Advanced LINQ - Taming the Query from Hades!
with Joe Mayo, Microsoft MVP,
author, instructor, consultant, speaker
         LINQ to SQL is Microsoft's recent technology for working with SQL Server data. If you've been using LINQ to SQL for a while, you'll know that it is very sophisticated, but with that sophistication comes complexity.
     In this presentation, Joe Mayo will address some of the more advanced features of LINQ to SQL and help you bridge the gap between the simple queries you see in quick demos and the reality you live with every day in Visual Studio 2008. You'll quickly move from a simple query to more sophisticated scenarios with groups and joins.
     Joe will discuss architecture and show you the pros and cons of different approaches for using LINQ to SQL in your applications.
     A portion of the presentation will be dedicated to helping you understand concurrency and the flexibility available to you in resolving conflicts.
     To round out the presentation, Joe will also show you a practical application of lambdas, expression trees, and extension methods that will bring you closer to understanding the internals of how LINQ to SQL works and give you insight into how you can solve more challenging problems on your own.

Xiotech
    Xiotech-VMWare-Web Services and You
with Rob Peglar, VP Technical Solutions
         IT organizations and solutions vendors are embracing an application model that supports and encourages interoperability – across systems, platforms and languages:
          o  Reporting
         
o  Trending Analysis
         
o  Automated Provisioning
     Web Services removes proprietary roadblocks to building automation
     Web Services represents a platform on which you can automate your infrastructure to meet the demands of your business applications
     Xiotech has met these challenges by introducing web services as the platform its storage subsystems are managed by. This makes it easier for you as the developer to automate and customize your OS, application and storage interaction requirements.
     Visual Studio is one of the Microsoft labs utilizing Xiotech Storage.

Dynamic Data  

Dynamic Data
with Steve Dzilvelis, Senior Sales Engineer

     Dynamic data denotes information that is asynchronously changed as further updates to the information become available.
     The opposite of this is static data, which is literally a snap-shot of information at a particular point in time. Dynamic data is also different from streaming data, in that there is no constant flow of information. Rather, updates may come at any time, with periods of inactivity in between.
     More information about this lab on Dynamic Data to come...
