PDC 2008 will feature more than 160 sessions covering a wide range of topics including a number of <A href="https://sessions.microsoftpdc.com/public/sessions.aspx" mce_href="https://sessions.microsoftpdc.com/public/sessions.aspx">great sessions from the ADO.NET</A> Team, such as:</P> <P><STRONG>Developing Applications Using Data Services</STRONG></P> <P>Presenter: Mike Flasko</P> <P>In the near future, applications will be developed using a combination of custom application code and online building block services, including data-centric services. In this session we discuss advancements in the Microsoft development platform and online service interfaces to enable seamless interaction with data services both on-premises (e.g., ADO.NET Data Services Framework over on-premises SQL Server) and in the cloud (e.g., SQL Server Data Services). Learn how you can leverage existing know-how related to LINQ (Language Integrated Query), data access APIs, data-binding, and more when building applications using online data.</P> <P><STRONG>Offline-Enabled Data Services and Desktop Applications</STRONG></P> <P>Presenter: Pablo Castro</P> <P>The ADO.NET Data Services Framework (a.k.a. Project "Astoria") introduced a way of creating and consuming flexible, data-centric REST services. By combining data services with the Microsoft Sync Framework, learn how to create offline-capable applications that have a local replica of their data, how to synchronize that replica with an online data service when a network connection becomes available, and how replicas can be used with the ADO.NET Entity Framework. Also, hear us talk about our plans, see the tools that help client- and server-side setup, and discuss the runtime components and APIs.</P> <P><A href="https://sessions.microsoftpdc.com/public/sessions.aspx" mce_href="https://sessions.microsoftpdc.com/public/sessions.aspx"><IMG style="BORDER-RIGHT: 0px; BORDER-TOP: 0px; MARGIN: 0px 10px 0px 5px; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px" height=149 alt=clip_image002 src="http://blogs.msdn.com/blogfiles/adonet/WindowsLiveWriter/PDC2008LosAngelesCAOct.2730_E626/clip_image002_3.gif" width=244 align=left border=0 mce_src="http://blogs.msdn.com/blogfiles/adonet/WindowsLiveWriter/PDC2008LosAngelesCAOct.2730_E626/clip_image002_3.gif"></A></P> <P><STRONG>Entity Framework Futures</STRONG> </P> <P>Presenter: Tim Mallalieu </P> <P>The next version of the Entity Framework adds scenarios in the areas of&nbsp;&nbsp; model driven development, domain driven development, simplicity, and integration. See a preview of production and prototype code for the next version of the Entity Framework as well as a candid discussion with members of the development team.</P> <P>See you there!!</P> <P>Elisa Flasko <BR>Program Manager, Data Programmability</P><img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=8945657" width="1" height="1">Entity FrameworkADO.NET Data ServicesPDC
