OOP for Today and Tomorrow
Deborah Kurata, InStep Technologies
OOP's .NET is here. This workshop will deliver the ultimate crash course on object-oriented programming for Visual Basic.NET developers. You'll learn how to use OO techniques to architect, design and develop great Windows and Web applications. We'll show you how to use parameterized constructors, function overloading, static class data, and inheritance-based polymorphism. We'll also explore how and when to use implementation inheritance and interface inheritance. Nine hours of straight talk and OOP immersion promise to launch your skill set to the next level, guaranteeing you'll be ready for tomorrow's best OO practices.

Create Killer Apps with Microsoft Web Services and ASP.NET
Chris Kinsman and Yasser Shohoud, Deep Training
Web-based applications are rarely an island unto themselves. They need to communicate with customers, vendors, suppliers, and others to be effective in today’s fast-changing environment. We will focus on the new tools in the .NET Framework used to create these applications: ASP.NET, ADO .NET and XML Web Services. We will take a fictional company and build an online e-commerce presence for it using ASP.NET. The e-commerce site will use XML Web Services that we build to send orders to suppliers and check the status on orders. We will also look at UDDI as a way to publish and dynamically locate services that you need to consume.

Become a Master of Web App Design in .NET
Rockford Lhotka, Magenic Technologies, and Mike Amundsen, Independent Consultant
The .NET platform supports the two major architectures used when designing n-tier Web applications: data-centric and object-oriented. Attend this workshop and you'll get more than a solid understanding of these architectures and their fundamental differences. You'll get the tools to decide where each approach is most appropriate, as well as show how each can be implemented in detail, using .NET technologies such as ASP.NET and VB.NET. You'll discover how the two architectures can be used to generate different application implementations from the same design specifications, and complete the day as an expert .NET Web developer skilled with decision making power and knowledge.

XML and SOAP Jumpstart
Brian Randell and Ken Getz, MCW Technologies
Using the .NET platform, you'll learn how to integrate XML and SOAP into your solutions. We'll start with core XML, including XSD (XML Schemas), followed by the XML DOM--the key API for programming XML. Then we'll explore how to transform XML with XSL, and to query XML with XPath and get our arms around the new XML features in Visual Studio .NET, including XML class libraries and designers. Finally, we will investigate how SOAP delivers the underlying technology for Web services, and how to build and consume XML Web services (and about UDDI) both using VB 6 and Microsoft .NET.

Writing Great Web Apps in C#
Jeff Prosise, Wintellect
ASP.NET is part of Microsoft .NET, the revolutionary new computing platform that promises to change software development as we know it. And it's the component of Microsoft .NET that makes writing high-performance, scalable Web applications easier than ever before. This all-day tutorial begins by introducing the Web Forms programming model and moves on to cover Web controls, ASP.NET application architectures, Web services, and more. You'll see numerous demos and live code samples, with every single line of code written in C#! At the end of the day, you'll know enough about ASP.NET and C# to judge whether to commit to them and also know enough to go back to work and start writing code. Don't miss this workshop if you want to see what the future of Web programming looks like.

Build a Complete App with C# and .NET
Brent Rector, WiseOwl Consulting
In just one day you can gain the skills for building a complete app with C# and .NET. Join us for an analytical look at the .NET platform from bottom to top. In this workshop we'll show you what private and shared assemblies are, how the CLR manages code and data in assemblies, how the new type system supports language interoperability, and how the new code access security model works with demonstrations in C#. We'll get into how the runtime provides support while using existing code via the Platform Invoke and COM Interoperability services. What should you make of the new "APIs" built on top of the .NET Runtime? How about the new data access classes, as they pertain to data base access and XML processing? How has the Web changed with .NET, especially regarding ASP.NET functionality and the .NET Framework's support for building Web services? These mysteries and more will be solved, and you'll gain the confidence you need to face this brave new .NET world.
9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Become a .NET Data Access Guru in One Day
Bill Vaughn, BetaV Corporation
Spend a demo-packed day wading hip-deep into the swamps and bayous of the ADO.NET architecture. We'll start with a discussion about COM-based ADO and how much of this code you can expect to import into the .NET Framework. We'll talk about the available SQL Server (SqlClient), OLE DB (OleDb) and the new ODBC (Odbc) ADO.NET managed providers. We'll open connections and get ADO.NET to open them and manage them for you, too. Low-level operations used to fetch data quickly and high-level methods to construct updatable and bindable DataSet objects will become clear. You'll see what new roles Visual Studio plays in making the process of creating ADO.NET code, stored procedures or ad hoc queries easy. We'll finish up by discussing performance, exception handling, update methodologies and concurrency management.
9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Take VB.NET 2TheMax
Francesco Balena, Wintellect
Now that you know the basics of Visual Basic.NET, the real fun can start. Regardless of whether you plan to work with Win32 clients or ASP.NET server-side code, in this full-day workshop you'll see how to create elegant, concise, high performance code that leverages the .NET framework, while using multi-threading, data structures, advanced OOP capabilities, custom attributes, and regular expressions. We'll show you how to precisely control garbage collection, access API functions, use COM Interoperability for a smooth transition to .NET, and so much more.
9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
The VB Insider's View of the Common Language Runtime
Ted Pattison, Subliminal Systems and Doug Turnure, Aggelos Inc.
Wonder what's really happening underneath Visual Studio.NET? This full-day seminar is your chance for that in-depth look at the architecture of the CLR from the perspective of the Visual Basic programmer. How does the Visual Basic.NET language map to the common-type system of the CLR? How is code deployed, configured and versioned in terms of assemblies? We'll get into all this as well as discuss the concepts and syntax involved with advanced language features such as attributes, reflection, delegates and threading.
9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Build and Maintain Highly Scalable Database Systems with SQL Server 2002
Michael Hotek, Independent Consultant
Get ready for a complete tour-from design through implementation-and learn how to deploy flexible and highly scalable database systems. We will cover all aspects of the development lifecycle-from analysis through database design-to demonstrate the underpinnings necessary to meet scalability objectives. We will discuss performance trade offs and optimizations within your designs. We'll also discuss database coding for applications to achieve rapid development without sacrificing performance and scalability. Together we will move on to high-end optimizations of your code along with how to analyze an application to target performance problems. Finally, we will cover the one area that causes more system failures than any other: management of your system through deployment and the subsequent maintenance of that system.
