These Webcasts will be delivered by seasoned developers with experience in the Public Sector. I invite you to seize the opportunity to acquaint yourself with the exciting new technologies in the comfort of your own environs. Schedule Introducing Internet Information Server 7 (IIS 7) for Developers Summary: Learn about new developer features that help make Internet Information Server (IIS) 7 the most flexible, extensible and customizable Web server on the planet. Microsoft has rebuilt the extensibility model for IIS7 to be more modular and customizable. We'll cover the new extensibility architecture in IIS7. In IIS7, the core IIS web server functionality is implemented using the same platform that you will use to build your extensions to the server. See the new distributed configuration system and how easy it is to deploy applications, including IIS configuration, through simple XCopy deployment. You'll learn about improved support in IIS7 for common Web programming languages like PHP as well as how to develop applications using the best of PHP and ASP.NET. Date & Time: February 20, 2008, 14:00-15:30 Eastern Time Registration: Please register here <http://msevents.microsoft.com/CUI/EventDetail.aspx?EventID=1032366128&Culture=en-US> to attend this webcast Building Workflow Services (WF + WCF) with Visual Studio 2008 Summary: Communication Foundation and Workflow Foundation are two very relevant technologies within .NET 3.x for Public Sector applications. WCF represents a total unification layer for building connected systems and WF provides a powerful foundation for process reengineering. Combine them and you have an unbelievable set of capabilities for building robust enterprise applications that involve both process automation as well as human and machine to machine workflow and process communication. Come learn the basics of how to build WCF services using workflow foundation in the upcoming release of Visual Studio 2008. Date & Time: February 22, 2008, 14:00-15:30 Eastern Time Registration: Please register here <http://msevents.microsoft.com/CUI/EventDetail.aspx?EventID=1032366132&Culture=en-US> to attend this webcast Microsoft Robotics Studio - an Introduction Summary: Microsoft Robotics Studio (MSRS) is a Windows-based environment for robot control and simulation. Technologies comprising MSRS are applicable to a wide range of domains, including command and control, sensor networks, financial transactions processing, server management and many others. With Microsoft Robotics Studio, robotics applications can be developed using a selection of programming languages, including those in Microsoft Visual Studio® and Microsoft Visual Studio Express (C# and VB.NET), as well as scripting languages such as Microsoft Iron Python. Third-party languages that support the Microsoft Robotics Studio services-based architecture are also supported. This session will provide an overview of MSRS, its application model and Visual Programming Language as well as peek under the hood at the MSRS technology foundation - Concurrency and Coordination Runtime (CCR), and Decentralized Software Services (DSS). What you will learn: a.. How to get started with Microsoft Robotics Studio b.. How to easily create services for a wide variety of robot hardware using the Visual Programming Language c.. How MSRS makes Asynchronous Programming easy with the Concurrency and Coordination Runtime (CCR) which simplifies programming to handle asynchronous input from multiple robotics sensors and output to motors and actuators d.. How the Decentralized Software Services (DSS) application model makes it simple to access, and to respond to a robot's state, using a Web-browser or Windows-based application thereby allowing real time monitoring of robotic sensors and response to motors and actuators.

This platform delivers an infrastructure that enables the flexible and secure reuse of infrastructure and business services and the ability to orchestrate existing services into new end-to-end business processes. This session explores the rationale and techniques used to build an ESB on the Microsoft platform as well as demonstrating its core components in action.
