May 8th - A look ahead
This is a real late thank you. Thanks to Dylan Phillips for coming out to the JaxDUG ASP.NET SIG meeting. He did a presentation on “Adding Mapping Services to your Application”. He discussed pros and cons of utilizing Google Maps or Microsoft’s Virtual Earth. It was a twist on the all too familiar CRUD apps we are all used to dealing with.
For those that were looking forward to the presentation on ASP.NET Profiles by Jonathan Bates, I am working on getting a commitment from him to present at the May 8th meeting.
You can store any object type in Profiles; information that is specific to the identity of a user but does not drive authentication nor authorization. The Profiles feature in ASP.NET does have a place in modern business web development. Customers nowadays respond well to a website that remembers them and personalizes their experience whether it be favorite colors, preferred shipping or billing information, which news sites to aggregate, which city to show weather for, or which stocks to show the up-to-date prices for.
Still on the look out for another May presenter. Some of the attendees have been showing real interest in AJAX related topics. Can you do a 45 minute presentation on AJAX (whether it is intro or advanced)? If so, let me know.
Even if you do not wish to present, let me know what AJAX topic you would like to see discussed. I will be sure to pass that information on to the next presenter.
