Belgium Dev & ITPro Days: Tell us what you want ...

Hi guys,

We're now preparing the content of the Belgium Dev & ITPro days. I appear to have the ownership of the content together with Rudi Larno. Please tell us what you want to see and what you want to learn!

Topics can go over: Visual Studio.NET 2005 (what aspects of it?); ASP.NET 2.0 (caching, design, ... ?); Sql Server 2005 development, administration, integration, business intelligence features, reporting services; Infrastructure Security; Software Deployment; Software Release Management in VS.NET; Modeling features in VS.NET; Operating the data center; Applying patches; or anything else!

I'll galdly receive your comments, requests, feedback about that and I guarantee that I'll use that to prepare the content. Be as precise as possible in your expectations.

Looking forward to seeing you there!

# re: Belgium Dev & ITPro Days: Tell us what you want ...

When and where are these days?
Can we, as in students, come?

I'd prefer .net 2.0 (don't care whether it is VB.NET/C#/ASP.NET/...)

# re: Belgium Dev & ITPro Days: Tell us what you want ...

1) Visual Studio Team System: what can we expect exactly and when. Would it be possible to get a (short) demonstration illustrating the most important aspects of continuous integration: source code control (is it as bad as Source Safe?), build, unit testing, packaging, documentation, etc.

2) What about "White Horse" and model-driven development? How can it be useful when designing Web Services? What are the building blocks it provides?

3) SQL Server 2005 as a platform for Web Services: http end-points, soap calls, CLR integration, XML data type. Is it possible to consume a SQL Server web service directly from InfoPath, for example? (look Ma! No VB, no C#, no nothing: just plain T-SQL code).

That's a start ;-)

# re: Belgium Dev & ITPro Days: Tell us what you want ...

1) Almost all SQL Server installations use DTS for exporting/loading data. This tool has undergone a total rewrite for SQL Server 2005 but very little is known about the new version. We always hear about how it will be possible to write stored procedures in managed code but the first thing that people will do when migrating to SQL Server 2005 is upgrading their DTS packages. A session about this new ETL tool would be very usefull (maybe for a SQL Server day ?).

2) And a vote together with David for a session on VS Team System.

Gert,

As fir any other event at Microsoft, students are always welcome. I encourage you to get in touch with Mieke Geertrui at Microsoft. She will tell you everything you need to know.

The Davids ... this is great news and a great community effort. We will sure take your comments into account.

Stefaan, your DTS comment is very "to the point". We'll investigate how to put that on the agenda.

Thanks for this info and keep up feeding us.

We'll have to have a final agenda by the end of this month so, don't wait too long before submitting your wishes.

# re: Belgium Dev & ITPro Days: Tell us what you want ...

Well I would like to see some of the following thing:
- Visual studio Team systems and how to set it up :-)
- How to : Test Driven development, How to write atomic tests for the data acces layer.
- How to create a build server for the Visual studio 2003 and how to incorporate autotmatic unit testing, fxcop or others


With Regards Ben

# Dev-ITPro Days 2005 Feedback

Friday, September 24, 2004 7:25 PM by Bernard Vander Beken

# re: Belgium Dev & ITPro Days: Tell us what you want ...

- Show how VS.NET 2005 can help improve the software development lifecycle: think end-to-end by demonstrating the different project roles. The more agile MSF 4 could be used as background against the technical solutions provided by the new toolset.

Possible topics: unit testing, refactoring, the build process,
continuous integration (?).

Other nice-to-have topics:
- ASP.NET
- SQL Server 2005
- .NET on the road (ASP.NET and mobile devices)

Best regards,

Bernard

# re: Belgium Dev & ITPro Days: Tell us what you want ...

Excellent feedback guys.
We will start today building the final program.
From now on, I can't garantee that I'll be able to put your wishes in the program but those who have responded ... will be heard! ;-)

# re: Belgium Dev & ITPro Days: Tell us what you want ...


I like to see more about Team system and specially waht is related to msf, and msf agile.

I also want to see some "birds of a feather" kind of discussions. The BOF sessions I went to at Tech-ed were a real blast.
I think it would be great to have some (BOF) discussions about project managment (XP, MSF, ...)

Dev-ItProDays could be the wrong place, but I think a session by the McCarthy's (SoftwareForYourHead) woudl also be very nice.

# re: Belgium Dev & ITPro Days: Tell us what you want ...

A nice topic would be about "automatic building" of a multi-layered application. Currently, you can, in your project, link to debug and release versions of assemblies. All this information (reference paths mainly) are stored in user files, project files etc. These files remain in Source Safe. However, automatically building a debug and a release version of multi-layered applications is not easy. Which methodology should we use? Use a separate build server? Which tools do we need (eg. BuildIt)? How many solution files do you need for one application? How do you change reference paths automatically? You probably get my point ;-)

My vote also goes to the VS Team System!
