Event: DevCares (May) – Visual Studio Codename "Orcas"
Each month DevCares brings you the insight into the latest technologies coming out of Redmond. Through the generous support of our partners (Crowe Chizek, Information Management Group, Clarity Consulting and Inacom), we have now expanded to 6 cities and 3 states in the Midwest district.
This month we take a look at the upcoming release of Visual Studio Codename “Orcas”:
Visual Studio code name “Orcas” delivers on Microsoft’s vision for application development by enabling developers to rapidly create connected applications that deliver the highest quality rich user experiences. This next version of Visual Studio enables developers to rapidly create more secure, manageable, and more reliable applications that take advantage of Windows Vista and the 2007 Office System. This session will provide insight into the exciting new features coming in the next version of Visual Studio Code Name “Orcas” and we’ll dive deep into the new programming features “Orcas” delivers such as those found in the Language Integrated Query (LINQ).
- Session 1: A Lap Around Visual Studio “Orcas”
- Session 2: Data and Programmability in Visual Studio “Orcas”
Each attendee will have a chance at winning a Zune. Who knows, it may even be the recently released Pink Zune!
