Indigo is the code name for Microsoft’s new foundation for distributed computing and service-oriented applications. This presentation provides an introduction to Indigo, describing what it is, how it works, and how it fits with existing technologies like ASP.NET web services, .NET Remoting, and Enterprise Services. While some familiarity with .NET is assumed, the target audience includes anybody who's interested in how software development will look in the coming service-oriented world.
Where and When
Working in conjunction with the North Dallas .NET User Group, Microsoft is bringing this special event to the North Dallas area of the DFW Metroplex on Thursday, April 21, 2005 at 6:00pm. Location details coming soon!
