Abusing C# for fun (but probably not profit) |
| For the most part, C# is a sensible language. That doesn't mean it has to be used sensibly, however. As the language has become richer with features like anonymous types and iterator blocks, so the opportunities to abuse it have grown. This session is "not safe for work" in that none of the code presented should ever go anywhere near a production codebase - but it's fun to stretch things to their breaking point every so often... |

Windows Phone 7, the developer story |
| Later this year the first Windows Phone 7 devices will be released worldwide, sporting an integrated Marketplace portal with the potential to expose your applications to the whole of this new market. We will start this session with an introduction to the phone, the design principals and key user experiences, then move on to show how simple it is to code and test applications using the Visual Studio 2010 tools and extensions. We will also consider the new online services such as location, notification and how to go about deploying your application into the Marketplace. |

Playing the Lottery with Stephen Fry, Pimms and Windows Azure |
| By now you've probably seen the demos of Azure? You've probably got some idea of the functionality? In this session we'll take a look at why and when you should move to the cloud, or even if you should continue on your merry way as your doing just now. We'll look at what Windows Azure brings you and what it doesn't bring you. |

OData – What, Why, When and How? |
You may have heard of OData recently. At the PDC 2009, Microsoft put a big focus onto OData, launched odata.org and released OData under the Open Specification Promise. In this session we’ll explore what OData really is and what it might mean for your data-centric services and clients. We’ll poke around in the protocol a little and we’ll then take a deeper look at what technologies Microsoft has on both the client and server side for both producing and consuming OData services. We’ll work in Visual Studio and C#.

F#, in the tone of C# |
| F# introduces a new language to VS 2010 that allows developers to use a functional style of programming, whilst still gleaning the benefits of an object oriented, imperative style, and the functionality in the .NET Base Class Library. This approach has huge benefits for the development of some types of software. The session will introduce functional thinking using F#, explained in the context of C# and go on to look at the features of F# such as: pattern matching, asynchronous, and reactive programming. |

Building extensible frameworks with MEF |
| Come to this talk where we will take a deep dive into building frameworks which can easily extended by third-parties. For the first part of the session we will learn about what MEF offers for framework authors as we build a small extensible library which leverages it. Then in the second part we'll dive into several OSS frameworks that are utilizing MEF for extensibility. We'll also leave plenty of time to answer any deep questions you have on MEF. |

REST, It's more than Data |
| Today it’s very common to simply throw some data over the wire and call it REST. But REST as Roy Fielding described it is much, much more. Come to this session and we’ll explore the tenants of a RESTful system. We’ll start with looking at traditional web services, then we’ll remove the SOAP shackles and explore what we can achieve as we get closer and closer to HTTP. We’ll also look at various frameworks both within and outside Microsoft for achieving REST Nirvana. |
