My ASP.NET MVC, Chart Control, and SSRS Talks at DevConnections

I will be presenting 3 sessions at DevConnections November 1-4, 2010 in Las Vegas (in addition my being the conference chair for the Microsoft ASP.NET Connections show)...

1. ASP.NET MVC for Web Forms Programmers
Wedesday, Nov 3 at 8:00 AM
Are you comfortable creating ASP.NET Web Form applications but even a little curious about what all the fuss is about MVC and test-driven development? In this session, Web Form junkie Paul Litwin will take a critical look at the world of ASP.NET MVC, but not from any expert point of view. Instead, Paul will share his experience as a Web Form developer who decided to take a closer look at this radical new approach to ASP.NET development. Come hear what Paul learned and whether he thinks there’s anything good to come out of ASP.NET MVC.

2. Bring Charting to Your ASP.NET Sites with the Chart Control
Thursday, Nov 4 at 9:30 AM
The ASP.NET chart control ships with Visual Studio 2010 and has a number of advanced capabilities for producing flexible and informative charts. The control is based on the same charting package that’s part of SQL Server 2008 Reporting Services, but unlike the Reporting Services charts, this control can be programmatically manipulated at runtime. In this session, you will learn how to get started with the Microsoft Chart Control to create visually compelling charts from within your ASP.NET applications.

3. Creating Report Subscriptions in Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Reporting Services
Wednesday, Nov 3 at 4:30 PM
In this session, learn how to set up standard and data-driven subscriptions using Report Manager. We discuss creating file-share, email, and null subscriptions; and how to deal with potential issues with parameters and security. We also demonstrate a sophisticated Microsoft ASP.NET-based application that creates subscriptions by calling the SSRS Web Services API.
