Smart Clients: A Revolution in Client Applications with Visual Studio 2005
Attend ISV Community Days and learn how you can start developing your smart client solution today. These one-day, demo-driven ISV technical events will focus on smart client solutions you can build today-as well as highlight what is up and coming. We'll show you the ins and outs of smart clients and drill into building smart client applications on the Microsoft® Office System. Come meet technical gurus and developers from your city.
By running locally, smart clients deliver the most powerful way to visualize and interact with data. They take advantage of client-side hardware and software resources to boost performance and functionality, and they deliver a richer user experience. Smart clients can be applications that run on Windows® PCs or on Windows Mobile™ devices, or they can be built on the Microsoft Office System, which runs ubiquitously throughout many enterprises.
Better yet, smart client applications make your software more useful to more people. A smart client application can be developed to work without any interaction with the network, and becomes even more powerful when network resources are available.
Register today for a Microsoft ISV Community Days in Dallas our Houston. Learn how you can harness the power of XML, Web services, and the Microsoft Office System to develop smart clients: applications that combine the rich functionality and performance of desktop applications with the ease of deployment and management of Web-based clients.
