Software Architecture on the Edge: Moving Beyond SOA
John deVadoss, Director, Architecture Strategy, Microsoft
May 17, 9 a.m.
The software landscape is rapidly changing, and the need for a new architecture to accommodate these changes is rapidly emerging. The emergence of the software as a service (SaaS) paradigm has created opportunity for development of powerful applications that operate on the edge as we as within the cloud. The business and social models that drive software and commerce are changing as well. All of this means that software architects have to take a step back and think about what lies over the horizon. To move beyond SOA means finding a way to connect the Edge to the existing services infrastructure. This talk will take a look at a new architecture to address this issue.
ASP.NET and “Atlas”
Andres Sanabria, Lead Program Manager for ASP.NET, Microsoft
May 17, 2 p.m.
Come and see the power that ASP.NET codename “Atlas” brings to Ajax development. “Atlas” is a new cross-platform/cross-browser framework for building rich, client-centric AJAX-style Web applications. During this demo-heavy presentation you will see how to enhance your existing ASP.NET Web site with the “Atlas” client & server controls and seamlessly access remote application services. You will also see how the unique blend of “Atlas” client and server side components can help enhance any application on the Web.
Double Technical Session:
Modern Web Development from Mash-Ups to IM-Based Bots
Scott Swanson, Group Product Planner for the Windows Live/MSN Messenger Platform, Microsoft
May 17, 10:30 a.m.
Tentative description / New session under development:
Use the skills you already have as a Visual Studio-developer to leverage emerging Web-based technologies. Create interactive bots built atop instant messengers, integrate virtual maps with IM. Learn what opportunities Windows Live opens up for VS users. Take a cruise through the MSN Messenger Activity API and learn how you can build interactive peer to peer applications in Messenger. The Activity API enables you to take advantage of MSN Messenger’s communication infrastructure to interact with IM conversations and pass data between MSN Messenger clients without having to worry about the normal Internet connectivity issues of crossing firewalls, NATs, proxies, etc. The Activity API enables you to build rich interactive applications for an audience of 170 million MSN Messenger users world-wide.
