My Schedule for TechEd Europe
My schedule at TechEd Europe:
Tuesday: 18:15-19:30 [CHT010] Design Choices in Distributed Applications
There are many choices with the design of distributed solutions: should I use a DataReader, or the DataSet? Should the communication to the components be done by using .NET Remoting or ASP.NET Web Services? Or the old protocol DCOM? For the user interface, what are the advantages of using Windows Forms compared to ASP.NET? There is not a clear choice that you should always prefer one technology to another one. Every technology has advantages and disadvantages that will be discussed here, so you can select the technologies that fit best for your solutions.
Friday: 16:15-17:30 [DEV404] Creating a Klingon Culture - More about Globalization and Resource Management
.NET has great built-in support to internationalize and globalize applications. More than that, .NET allows extending the localization support. This session demonstrates how the localization support can be extended using the Klingon culture. You will see how to adapt a calendar, create a custom resource reader to read resources from the database, define a custom format output for your classes, and more. You can use the techniques shown here to create a new culture that is not part of the framework, and create sub-cultures for small local regions. Looking at how to extend the Framework you will also see the relationships of the different classes so you can work with globalization and resource management very efficiently. This session also covers .NET 2.0 features for globalization and localization.
Here is the schedule of the Thinktecture sessions (including Ingo and Christian).
See you there!
