07h00 - 08h00 Registration
09h00 - 17h00 Pre-Conference Pragmatic Application Design With William R. Vaughn This series of sessions is designed to take a developer, architect or database administrator through the fundamentals and many of the more technical details of designing applications using the .NET Framework, Visual Studio and SQL Server. This workshop is not about future or expected versions of Visual Studio or the unreleased tools and platforms you hear so much about—it’s about how to use the existing, stable and trusted versions of the .NET Framework, Visual Studio and SQL Server. The sessions talk about real-world and practical solutions to the problems most companies face—especially smaller companies or smaller departments in larger companies that have to interface with existing data stores of all shapes and sizes. William Vaughn has been mentoring, teaching, consulting and writing about .NET since its inception and about SQL Server since it was first brought to Microsoft by Sybase in 1989 about 16 years ago. His 11th and 12th books focus on these very subjects—Hitchhiker’s Guide to Visual Studio and SQL Server (7th Edition) and Hitchhiker’s Guide to SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition—each attendee will receive a copy of the 7th Edition. WPF at Work in the Real World Windows Forms technology has been officially “dead-ended” by Microsoft and its replacement is Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF)! This full day, pre-con gets you up to speed quickly in a content-intensive presentation of WPF. During this training you will see the iPhone™ user interface recreated from scratch using WPF and running under Windows on your laptop . We find using this practical (and fun) example helps students understand WPF concepts better as they see them implemented in a real-world user interface. By MVP C# Kevin McNeish Design and Optimization Best-Practices with SQL Server 2005 Learn how to develop high-performance databases with Paul Nielsen. The Design and Optimization Best-Practices Seminar details each layer of optimization theory, so you'll know exactly how to develop, refactor, or tune databases for high-performance. I've packed all my favorite database design and development techniques into this intense practical seminar. By Paul Nielsen

In this session we will show how developers can easily work with SAP data using K2 Connect. K2 Connect functionality provides a deep integration point between K2 and SAP that allows designers to build K2 service objects that surface SAP data for use in any process-driven application without having to write code. Service Objects built with K2 connect for SAP can be used to not only surface SAP data within your applications but can also update data directly in SAP that has been modified as part of any of your process applications.

Through the use of better tools both from with in SQL Server Management Studio and Third Party Vendors the ability of the DBA to monitor all the activities of a SQL Server makes the role of the DBA more pro-active.
