exploring the new HTML5 specification with some freshly baked code and trying to glean the future of Web.

I’ve talked a bit about mobile mojo here before, so I am looking forward to this event.

XAML is a declarative XML-based language that defines objects and their properties in XML. One of the focuses of the XAML syntax is defining the user interface for both the Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) and Silverlight. It is therefore separate from the application code behind it and facilitates separation of design and development. XAML also allows for better cooperation between the developer and the designer in a way that has not been available with previous technologies. XAML is not just used for display technologies such as WPF and Silverlight. It is also used by other .Net technologies such as Windows Workflow (WF). This session will give you an introduction to XAML, the tools used to work with XAML, and how it relates to the technologies that rely on it.
Lunch will be provided by McWane Center for an additional cost. You may order a lunch from McWane for $10 or bring your own. The cut-off for ordering a lunch is Tuesday, July 31 at noon.

The Power of Flex in Rich Internet Applications

The Web is no longer a simple system used for exchanging hypertext-based documents. Today the Web is a plaform for delivering sophisticated applications as well as rich media including video and instant messaging. While building rich web-based applications with traditional HTML/Javascript is possible, there are many challenges to using this toolset; however, with the relatively recent release of Flex by Adobe Systems, it is now easier than ever to build both beautiful and robust web-applications that take full advantage of rich media as well as the ability to push data to clients for real-time updates. Using Adobe Flex also obviates many of the cross-browser compatability issues faced by many developers by providing a uniform interface to application layout etc. This presentation will discuss the benefits of building software using this paradigm and demostrate some examples of its use.
Harris Reynolds is a software architect with The Midnight Coders (TMC) and specializes in client/server integration between Flex-clients and server-based applications. At TMC he’s been responsible for delivering both the initial .Net version of WebORB as well as the port to Ruby on Rails. WebORB is a presentation server that simplifies the development of Rich Internet Applications by providing infrastructure software to integrate Flex clients with custom server applications.
Lunch will be provided by Jason’s Deli for an additional cost. You may order a lunch from Jason’s Deli for $10 or bring your own. You may also pre-purchase a parking token for $2 with your lunch.
