Presentation Topic:
Live Mesh and Other Clouds
Speaker: Eugene Chuvyrov

Cloud Computing has become the phrase du jour," says Gartner. In this 60-minute presentation, we will explore how the concept of "cloud computing" has the potential to alter the set of decisions and tasks facing software architects. We'll review the current entries into the "cloud computing" arena, including the Live Mesh and SQL Data Services offerings from Microsoft. We will then walk through a few short scenarios of architecting applications for "the cloud", and discuss the new challenges this new model of working with information presents for the architect.

Speaker Info

Eugene Chuvyrov is a Software Developer/Architect in Jacksonville, Florida. Having turned programming hobby into a full-time job over 10 years ago, he has yet to look back. Although he is passionate about many aspects of software development and architecture, most of Eugene's time at the moment is spent translating business processes into UML diagrams, and eventually into the C# language.

Topic: Adding Custom Field Types and Custom Content Types to your MOSS Installation

Ever wished you could use a MOSS List as a mechanism for storing business data, but found yourself limited by the built-in WSS field types?

In this session, Dylan will walk you through creating and deploying custom field types and content types.
