Enhancing Your Applications with Windows Server 2003
Take advantage of what Microsoft provides in the OS and focus on making your applications better

Join us for this one day demo-driven technical Roadshow and find out how you can enhance your applications with Windows Server 2003.

Microsoft .NET is deeply integrated into the Windows Server 2003 family and enables an unprecedented level of software integration using XML Web Services.

You can write less code and still use the programming languages and tools you know by utilizing the application services (ASP.NET, transaction monitoring, message queuing, and data access) built into Windows Server 2003's process monitoring, recycling, and built-in instrumentation to provide reliability, availability, and scalability for your applications.

Windows Server 2003 and the .NET Framework provide you with the most scalable architecture available. Coupling these features and the standards they are built on, you can integrate applications and still achieve highly-scalable applications using them.

Plus, when you attend, you'll receive the following:

•        Microsoft Visual C# .NET Standard Edition (Not For Resale version)
•        Microsoft Connected Systems Technical Resource Kit DVD including tools, training, and testimonials.
•        Windows Marketplace Brochure
•        A cool Microsoft .NET t-shirt
