Learn all about the the basics for building Smart Client applications that leverage the portability and power of the Tablet PC platform. In this session, Frank La Vigne introduces developers to the hardware, software, and development options available to building out Smart Client solutions on the Tablet PC. Adding Ink functionality can dramatically add value to existing applications without adding significant amounts of code and we will see just how easy it can be to take an existing application and add support for Digital Ink, handwriting recognition, and document recognition.

Great Food and Prizes!
It's Spring again...Oh my...It's Spring again. And what a way to kick off the new season than with Frank La Vigne and the Tablet PC! Fresh back from the Microsoft MVP Summit in Seattle, Tablet PC MVP Frank La Vigne is chalk full of goodies and nuggets on all that is Ink. There is nothing quite like scribbling all over the front of a perfectly good laptop. If you've tried this at home, you know that you need just the right type of sharpie. Well, if you are utterly confused by all of this then you had better come on out to our March meeting!
I hope to see you there!
