Welcome Time: 12:30 PM
Session #1: Exploring the System.Net Namespace in the .NET Framework 2.0
Developers are increasingly being asked to create applications that interact with common network services. So, it’s a good thing the .NET Framework 2.0 enables you to write connected applications with less hassle and fewer lines of code. This session will delve into the System.Net namespace, including:
• How to create applications that detect network availability and connections
• Sending SMTP mail and transferring data via HTTP and FTP
• How to use the HTTP Listener class to write a simple Web server
Session #2: Windows Communication Foundation Exposed
Windows Communication Foundation (formerly code-named “Indigo”) is a set of .NET technologies for building and running distributed systems. WCF is a new breed of communications API that unifies previously disparate communications mediums and offers one single API for coding. In this session, we’ll explore:
• How WCF extends the .NET Base Class Library and builds distributed connected systems
• Where WCF fits into the larger WinFX world and how to use WCF to build distributed applications
• Enabling services that communicate across multiple boundaries and transports
• How to optimize for platform or performance
Session #3: Building the Next Generation of Web Applications with ASP.NET “Atlas”
Tired of postbacks taking precious seconds away from your Web app’s performance? Do users complain about slow-loading pages? Are you wondering what the AJAX buzz is all about? Learn how you can take advantage of ASP.NET 2.0’s new AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) framework – code-named “Atlas”– to build next-generation Web applications. This session will cover:
• The Atlas architecture, including scenarios associated with the AJAX programming model
• How to apply Atlas to enhance new or existing ASP.NET applications
• Applications that incorporate AJAX, Web services, and rich DHTML-based user experiences
