hey there!
It's coming next Friday when our little office in CT hosts - DigiGirlz Day. What an amazing team effort it has been and what a great day we have planned. We'll have lots of footage!
Speaking of best days...the next set is on April 22-24, 2008 when we host our Health and Life Sciences Developer and Solutions Conference in Atlantic City, NJ. Are you in? We do have a ton of great technical content but someone decided that we needed to have a game night and a charity poker tournament. So yes, it is on!
Over the next few weeks, we'll spotlight a session or two from our conference to tease the undecided. Today's spotlight is on...
Communications is central to the way we build relationships, access information and make critical decisions in our professional life. In this session, we’ll explore how to use the Microsoft Unified Communications Platform to integrate communication in the software we use every day. Build human-to-human communications into your mission critical systems by launching IM, voice and video calls directly and integrating application context. Leverage machine-to-human communications in your business workflows to reach decisions makers quickly using IM or voice to drive to drive the workflow to completion efficiently and securely. Provide human-to-machine communications to allow secure access to enterprise data via IM and voice quickly and securely anywhere and any time. Office Communications Server (OCS) 2007 and Exchange Server 2007 provides the infrastructure for enterprise communications including e-mail, voice, video, IM, conferencing and unified messaging. Building on this infrastructure, the UC Platform APIs provides a platform that you can leverage to build communications into your solutions adding incredible value to your users.
Web applications with sound, animations, and video have become the rule and not the exception these days. But as a developer how do I get started in an area that previously meant learning entirely new tools and technologies? This session will get you up to speed on how to use the latest web technologies from Microsoft including Silverlight DeepZoom, Expression Blend, Expression Encoder and Silverlight Streaming that leverage your existing .NET Skills and integrate seamlessly with ASP.NET. You’ll be amazed at how easily you can start adding great user experiences to both your new and existing applications today!
