Introduction to PowerShell |
| Presentation Overview:
|
PowerShell goes far beyond DOS command line programming and allows developers to use .NET objects from command line scripts. PowerShell is available for Windows XP/Vista/2003/2008 and is included in Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2. PowerShell is the preferred mechanism for handling certain tasks that are not performed in the standard GUI tools provided with many Microsoft and 3rd party products.
This presenation will start with an overview of PowerShell to explain the power of this scripting language and its use to automate many Windows tasks. Then we will look at the developers perspective and why you might choose to use PowerShell in your projects. |

A Look at Visual Studio 2010 from Redmond Product Team |
| Presentation Overview:
|
Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate provides new UML and DSL designers and architectural discovery tools to enable architects and developers to improve their systems and better plan architectural changes to their systems. In addition, we have a breadth of extensibility features that will enable partners, teams and customers to create new features that leverage the power of the modeling capabilities in Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate. In this session you will see first–hand how the extensibility features work under the covers, how to build an extension, and how extensions can add to the overall product experience. |

Intro to Touch and Multi-Touch in WPF and Silverlight |
| Presentation Overview:
|
Touch and Multi-Touch are quickly becoming a cool and efficient human-input interface concept. WPF 4 and Silverlight 3 have now provided some easy to use mechanisms to start building upon this. In this session we will be looking at what has been provided for us in these technologies that allow us to take advantage of this concept. We will look at code demo's that show how to do things like movement, resize and gestures. We will also see demo's on how we can think of and use some of these concepts to provide functionality outside of the obvious intent. |

Working Effectively with Distributed Teams |
| Presentation Overview:
|
As technology improves, and developers are forced more to specialize, we often find ourselves working with teams that are not physically located together. Distributed teams bring challenges in terms of meeting times, locations, languages, etc. Come learn what challenges distributed development teams face, what models have been used by Microsoft and others to meet this challenge today. We will discuss how changes to organizational models, work distribution and developer tooling can provide you the keys to success in working with distributed teams. |

The Managed Extensibility Framework for Line of Business Applications in .NET 4.0 |
| Presentation Overview:
|
With the release of Visual Studio 2010, the Managed Extensibility Framework (MEF) became a first-class citizen of the .NET 4.0 Framework. It is the same system used for extensibility and plug-ins within Visual Studio 2010 itself. Learn the ten reasons why you would want to use the Managed Extensibility Framework in your own applications and how MEF can assist you with building dynamic, modular, extensible, testable applications faster than ever before. This deep dive will cover advanced MEF topics included strongly typed meta-data and custom export providers as well as how MEF differs between Web, WPF, Console, and Silverlight applications. |

LINQ Scalability |
| Presentation Overview:
|
When LINQ arrived in 2008, we were given a new declarative model to perform set based operations. As we begin to use it more in our applications we start to see the performance implications of using this model in our applications. This session will look at options we have to improve our performance by improving our code, using hash tables with I40, scaling up with PLINQ, scaling out with Dryad and asynchronous operations with Rx. By the end of this session, you should have an understanding of when to use each of these new and emerging technologies to improve your LINQ code. |
