| EMB202 | What a desktop developer needs to know to develop for Windows Embedded | 200 | One of the best features of Windows Embedded operating systems is that they use the same API (Win32/MFC/.NET), the same languages (C++, Visual Basic ,NET, and C#) and even the same tools, (Visual Studio) as the desktop. These similarities make it simple for desktop Windows developers to move to Windows Embedded. But if you try coding an embedded system the way you code on the desktop and you’ll end up producing a brick! This session will teach you the strategies and techniques needed to leverage your desktop skills to develop great applications for Windows Embedded operating systems. Come learn how to “cross over to embedded” in this informative talk. | Doug Boling |
| EMB304 | Windows Embedded: from sensors to servers | 300 | The industrial and automotive solutions are nowadays merely a matter of software. The software retrieves data from sensors, analyzes the data, drives actuators, allows entities of the industrial or automotive system to communicate and synchronize with each other, runs visualizations and monitoring allowing interaction with the operator, talks to servers, databases and services,... as a desktop or enterprise developer or as an IT Pro you will be surprised how much your skills will transfer to this domain and enable modern and exiting solutions. During this demo packed session, you will see how Windows Embedded technologies, fitting directly into Microsoft development tool chain, can be used to develop real time distributed industrial systems and services. | Olivier Bloch

| EMB310 | Windows Embedded: "Demos only" | 300 | This demo packed session will present all sorts of devices, tools and technologies used in today and tomorrow's embedded projects. If you want to learn how Windows Embedded can be used to build stunning devices or if you are just a geek, you can't miss this session | Olivier Bloch |
| EMB301 | Technical introduction to the new Windows Embedded CE 6.0 R3 | 300 | Discover a set of new features for Windows Embedded CE 6.0 packaged in a release called R3, bringing things like performance enhancements, anew browsing experience, a new UI rendering engine, and Office document viewers. These features will give Windows CE 6.0 the ability to sustain the competition and to provide customers with the technologies they need waiting for the next major release of Windows Embedded CE. This session presents new features, tools, and technologies available in the R3 release of Windows Embedded CE 6.0. | Pierre Cauchois
Dion Hutchings |
| EMB307 | Windows Embedded CE6.0: Tools and Techniques to Face the Embedded Development Challenges | 300 | Embedded developers have to face very specific challenges like memory of CPU limitations, real time constrains and 24/7 robustess. These constrains exist in other software domains but an embedded device will have to meet all or most of them, knowing that your target computer is a tiny headless device with an instruction set your PC doesn't know about may even be considered as a extra challenge. Windows Embedded CE 6.0 offers the tools and techniques to achieve ambitious projects, the presentation will focus on techniques that help you understand and solve typical problems including: Error Reporting, ToolHelp API and even building your own Emulator. | Thierry Joubert (Theoris) |
| EMB201 | Windows Embedded CE and Connectivity | 200 | Today, almost every embedded system needs to communicate with local networks and/or the Internet. Windows Embedded CE provides a great set of features that enable the embedded developer to easily and quickly communicate with other systems. From its NDIS-based network drivers, to web service support, and its network discoverability protocols, Windows Embedded CE makes it easy to communicate with the outside world. In addition, the Windows Embedded CE 6.0 Release 3 adds a Communication Manager which assists embedded applications in deciding which of multiple connections to use based on connectivity, cost, speed, and more. Come learn how Windows Embedded CE helps applications communicate in this example-filled talk. | Doug Boling |
| EMB305 | From Expression Blend to Windows Embedded CE: build the UI of next generation devices | 300 | Windows Embedded CE R3 is the latest release of Windows Embedded CE. One of the main features available in this released is a XAML-based rendering engine that allows to develop the next generation of user interface for device. Think of it as Silverlight for devices. This session will digg into this rendering engine and will show you how to build a shell for an embedded device from its desing into Expression Blend to the native C++ code that runs the business intelligence. | Dion Hutchings |
| EMB303 | Windows Embedded Standard 2011: How to Embed Windows 7 into Devices | 300 | Windows Embedded Standard 2011 fuses the power and functionality of Windows 7 with the flexibility and workflow needed for the embedded developer to make his or her device come to life. Demonstrations underscore the two distinct development experiences Windows Embedded Standard 2011 offers while exploring the workflow around creating an embedded device with Windows Embedded Standard 2011. Come join us and get an in-depth look at the future of Windows Embedded Standard 2011. | Randy Rockinson And Parag Garg |
| EMB309 | Create a Multitouch and Gesture Aware Device Using Windows Embedded Standard 2011 | 300 | The future release of Windows Embedded Standard 2011, formerly code name "Quebec", will be based on Windows 7. This means the cool features of Windows 7 will be usable to build devices. This session shows you how to build a device supporting these new user Interface features in a demo-centric way. | Shabnam Erfani |
| EMB308 | Componentisation Architecture in Windows Embedded Standard 2011 | 300 | Wndows Embedded Standard 2011 introduces new concepts of feature sets and feature packages. In this session we provide an in-depth look at "Quebec" componentisation architecture; from the basic building block Embedded Core (E-Core) to key technologies such as Windows Internet Explorer, Windows Media Player, Microsoft .NET Framework, etc. | Randy Rockinson And Parag Garg |
| EMB306 | Using Windows PowerShell on Windows Embedded Standard | 300 | Windows Powershell is Microsoft's new command line interface leveraged to manage VISTA and Windows Server 2008. Learn how to unleash the power and flexibility of this new technology on Windows Embedded Standard devices as well. This might be great to use synergies in existing VISTA and Windows Server deployments, but also has huge benefits when it comes down to manage just the Windows Embedded Standard system. Alexander shows You how to integrate Power Shell into your custom image and how to use it for common management tasks. | Alexander Wechsler (Wechsler Consulting GmbH & Co. KG
