WeFly247 Webcast Monday 5/18/2005 11:00 CST - 12:15 CST

genewebb — Fri, 15 Apr 2005 15:47:00 GMT

I am a big fan of the .247 series. I think it is one of the best examples of how to and best practices out there. This Monday they will talk about WeFly247 and have invited everyone to join in a web cast to talk about it.

I highly encourage you to get a look at this.

We are pleased to announce that shortly we will be releasing the follow up to the highly successful Football247 and WeRock247 projects titled WeFly247.

As per our previous projects we will release a multimedia training DVD that will contain over 60 hours of audio recordings and coding labs on Visual Studio 2005 and developer technologies and full source code to the entire WeFly247 suite of applications.

The WeFly247 scenario focuses on a fictitious airline company and contains everything that a developer needs to know about building applications with Visual Studio 2005 beta 2.

The applications for WeFly247 scenario are broken down into 3 areas covering all areas of development, including Windows Mobile, VSTO, Smart Client, and InfoPath and much more.

Pilot: Pre-flight inspection of the aircraft and in-flight monitoring of key systems.

Passenger: Entertainment system for in-flight entertainment.

Crew: Management system for managing passenger requests.

As we get ready for the launch of the DVD and sample code, throughout April we will be running a series of WebCasts to highlight the technologies we have used in the WeFly247 solutions and give developers previews of the solution which we will release in April.

18 April: 5pm – 6:15pm GMT

WeFly247 Application Walkthrough and Technologies

Come and learn about the WeFly247 project, learn about the technologies used to build the solution and the architecture design.

This session will give you a chance to get an understanding of the entire project and see all the applications working together as well as hear from the developers of the applications that built each application.

AGENDA:

WeFly247 Application Overview

WeFly247 System Architecture

Building the Pilot applications (Windows Forms, VSTO)

Building the Passenger application (ASP.NET 2.0)

Building the Crew application (.NET CF)

This is a scrap from Rob Caron’s blog (http://blogs.msdn.com/robcaron/Rss.aspx)

Day/Date/Time	Title	Level	Abstract	Presenter
Monday 04/04/2005 09:00 AM PDT	Introduction to Visual Studio Team System [LINK]	200	Microsoft Visual Studio Team System solves problems facing enterprise-level teams, increasing the predictability of success. Team System extends Visual Studio from a tool for writing and debugging code into a set of deeply integrated tools that support the complete software development lifecycle across the team member roles of manager, architect, developer and tester. This webcast details an end-to-end software development lifecycle scenario that demonstrates major components of Team System and illustrates the value to the team of having a customizable integrated process in breaking down silos of information and providing friction-free flow of data between team roles.	Anand Iyer
Tuesday 04/05/2005 09:00 AM PDT	Drill Down into Visual Studio Team System: Team Architect [LINK]	200	Microsoft Visual Studio Team System solves problems facing enterprise-level teams, increasing the predictability of success. Team System extends Visual Studio from a tool for writing and debugging code into a set of deeply integrated tools that support the complete software development lifecycle across the team member roles of manager, architect, developer and tester. This webcast covers the tools and technologies available to support the Team Architect in their role. We examine the Distributed Systems Designer, Logical Datacenter Designer and the System Definition Model in detail. We also look at how the Architect can begin the code generation process by using the Class Designer tools.	Geoff Snowman
Tuesday 04/05/2005 10:00 AM PDT	How and Why Process Guidance Matters in Visual Studio 2005 Team System [LINK]	200	Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Team System (VSTS) allows teams to select a process template to shape how the team works together. This session will help you understand key considerations in selecting the template best suited to your team and the project you are working on. Learn how process templates affect the way VSTS works and why it is important for your team to select the appropriate process for your projects.	Bindia Hallauer
Thursday 04/07/2005 09:00 AM PDT	Drill Down into Visual Studio Team System: Team Test [LINK]	200	Microsoft Visual Studio Team System solves problems facing enterprise-level teams, increasing the predictability of success. Team System extends Visual Studio from a tool for writing and debugging code into a set of deeply integrated tools that support the complete software development lifecycle across the team member roles of manager, architect, developer and tester. This webcast will detail the tools and technologies available to support the Team Tester in their role. We look at best test case scenarios and unit tests, and show how to check for code completeness with the code coverage tools. We also examine the various types of reporting that are available in Team Test.	Anand Iyer
Thursday 04/14/2005 10:00 AM PDT	Visual Studio 2005 Team System: Enterprise-Class Version Control [LINK]	200	Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Team System (VSTS) provides a completely new, highly scalable and robust version control system.

Thursday 04/28/2005 11:00 AM PDT	Test-Driven Development Using Visual Studio Team System [LINK]	200	Why test-driven development? Although developers have been unit testing their code for years, tests are typically performed after the code is designed and written. As a great number of developers can attest, writing tests after the fact is difficult to do and often omitted when time runs out. Test-driven development attempts to resolve this problem and produce higher quality, well-tested code by putting the cart before the horse and writing the tests before we write the code. This webcast demonstrates how you can use Microsoft Visual Studio Team System to implement test-driven development in your organization. Jim Newkirk, author of "Test Driven Development with .NET", will be discussing how you can use Visual Studio Team System to implement test driven development in your organization.	Jim Newkirk
