DevLink – August 5th-7th
I will be at http://devlink.net in August from the 5th – 7th, 2010. I will be speaking on Windows Communication Foundation.
Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) has gone through two major releases and is now ready for prime time but many enterprise developers are still holding onto ASMX web services. In this session we are going to learn why moving to WCF is a good thing and much easier in .NET 4.0. We’ll also look at many new features in WCF 4.0 such as simplified configuration along with multiple site bindings introduced with the latest release of .NET 4.0.
SQL Saturday Baton Rouge, LA – August 14th
I will be doing a full day track on .NET. It is a great way to get started with the platform.
This seminar is for anyone who is starting at ground zero with .NET and wants to dive into the platform starting from scratch. It is designed for developers experienced in at least one other language, and starts with the basics of . NET and covers Microsoft Visual Studio, writing code in C#, and how to build applications in various technologies of the platform such as Windows, Web, Microsoft Silverlight, and Windows Mobile. If you are new to writing applications on Microsoft .NET this track is for you!
This is a free event, but you MUST register at http://sqlsatbr2010.eventbrite.com/.

In this episode we sat down shortly after SQL Server 2008 R2 was released to MSDN to discuss this major update for SQL Server. With this release, SQL Server is moving away from being just a database and starting to be an information platform. New features like StreamInsight, improved reports and updated BI tools make this a release that is very exciting for all developer in the community.

In this episode, Woody sat down with Mike Flasko at MIX10 to chat about OData that was announced on the second day of the conference. OData is an open protocol for sharing data. It provides a way to break down data silos and increase the shared value of data by creating an ecosystem in which data consumers can interoperate with data producers in a way that is far more powerful than currently possible, enabling more applications to make sense of a broader set of data.
