I Wanna Be A Rock Star! by Stephen Fulcher
This session will be a deep
dive into the caves of the ASP.NET runtime. We’ll watch a request go all
the way through the ASP.NET pipeline from IIS back to IIS again through the
bowels of the runtime – talk about your coffee bar conversation piece
… you can’t Google this! This is essential knowledge for the
aspiring ASP.NET expert. We’ll travel across processes and threads
through queues, runtime events and HttpModules into the happy object and
HttpHandlerFactories and HttpHandlers and request filters and out again to the
other side. It will be a ride to remember!

Using the Composite Application Guidance for WPF by Claudio Lassala
Abstract: This presentation covers an overview of the
Composite Application Guidance for WPF (codename Prism), its architecture and
Composite Application Library (CAL), and how applications are be built on top
of it. If you build any application that goes beyond "Hello World",
it's likely that you create composite applications. Prism allows for
applications to be built with proper separation of concerns, promoting loose
coupling, extensibility, and testability. It also helps with WPF's goals of
allowing developers and designers to collaborate more easily on the same
project. The presentation also cover some dependency injection and
Model-View-ViewModel patterns.

Featured Speaker CHANGE!!! - Using ASP.NET Url Routing with existing ASP.NET applications by J Sawyer
Abstract: ASP.NET Url Routing is a
new feature of .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 that is the magic glue behind the clean
Url's in both ASP.NET MVC and Dynamic Data. But did you know that you can use
this in your own applications without using MVC or Dynamic Data? In this
session, we'll explore ASP.NET Url Routing, what it is and how it works. We'll
also add this to an existing ASP.NET application, allowing us to clean up and
standardize existing page URLs to make them more bookmark and search engine
friendly.
Bio:J Sawyer is a Microsoft
Developer Evangelist. J's blog, Ruminations of J .Net, can be found at http://blog.microsoft-j.net/.
