Open Call for Speakers - .NET Developer's Association

Are you an expert in the .NET Framework? Has Visual Basic .NET got you all excited? Does your knowledge of VSTS scare the average passer-by? You should come speak at our User's Group!

The Redmond/Seattle .NET Developer's Association is looking for speakers. We have a meeting each Monday at 7:00 PM on the Microsoft main campus. We are in need of speakers through the rest of the year (see our schedule). Each month we have a meeting for Web Developers, Beginners, Database Developers, Visual Basic Developers, and a general meeting. You can speak at any one of these. Just contact the Event Coordinator. While we can't pay you, we can honor you with free pizza and a beer or two (after the meeting).

ASP.NET 2.0: Building Data-Driven Web Sites (Slides and Demos)

Last night I gave a presentation at the .NET Developer's Association in Redmond/Seattle. Following is a description of the session, and a link to download the slides and demo code. All code is using Visual Studio 2005 Beta 2 build.

ASP.NET 2.0: Building Data-Driven Web Sites

This session discusses the fundamentals of data access and how to render data in a Web site using the new data-source and data-bound controls in ASP.NET 2.0. Topics covered include binding to a SQL database; performing sorting, paging, update, insert, and delete operations; building data access and business object layers; rendering customization using templates; and improved performance through caching.
