7:15 C# Ninjitsu
C# Ninjitsu
Synopsis: C# has humble beginnings as an object oriented language of the purest kind. It was class-based, it was imperative, and it was component-oriented. For many years, the classic object-oriented design principles served class library designers well. But C# is no longer a purely object oriented language. It is no longer an imperative, class-based, component oriented discipline. It is also a generic, declarative, functional discipline. I will reexamine the object-oriented principles and introduce new principles. I will then introduce new refactorings as we move toward a more declarative, fluent world.
About the Speaker: Chris Eargle is a Microsoft Most Valuable Professional – C# and INETA Community Champion from Columbia, SC, USA

6:30 Windows Phone Metro: Why Design Matters
7:00 Announcements
7:15 Getting Started with SharePoint and Office 2010
Windows Phone Metro: Why Design Matters
Synopsis: Windows Phone is more than a technology. It is also a philosophical shift for Microsoft from concentrating on functionality to concentrating on user experience. "Metro" is the design grammar used in Windows Phone. Think of it as a style guide – but it is much, much more. It is a new way of thinking about building software. In this presentation, we will go over the design grammar of Windows Phone 7 and use it as a teaching opportunity about design concepts that will help you build more interesting applications in any technology.

WCF Data Services – Making Data Accessible to Everyone
Synopsis:
WCF Data Services completely rewrites the rules when it comes to creating web services. In this session you will hear from a hardcore SOAP fan why the WCF Data Service bits + the OData protocol is a better choice for breaking data silos.
This session will go deeper than just the mechanics of creating a Data Service (we'll do that too). We'll spend time talking about Atom and AtomPub, Projections, Feed Customization, Server Driven Paging, Data vs. Operation Semantics, and the Model Browser. Understanding these features is key to understanding why OData is the future of web services.
