<b>Information Overload and Managing the Flow: Effectiveness and Efficiency</b>

As developers, we are asked to absorb even more information than ever before. More
APIs, more documentation, more patterns, more layers of abstraction. Now Twitter and
Facebook compete with Email and Texts for our attention, keeping us up-to-date on
our friends dietary details and movie attendance second-by-second. Does all this information
take a toll on your psyche or sharpen the saw? Is it a matter of finding the right
tools to capture what you need, or do you need to unplug?

Testing web applications has always been a manual and tedious process. With Performance

<p>
<b>Examining Model-View-ViewModel (MVVM)</b>
<br />
MVVM is a design pattern for building rich clients in both Silverlight and WPF. Frankly,
there's a lot of buzz around this idea, but why should you care about it (other than
to pad your resume)?<br />
In this session I'll be making the case both for and against using MVVM. I'll go over
what it is, show how you can use it, and will be including plenty of examples. I'd
also like to discuss some of your concerns for why you may want to avoid it, and lastly
examine some tools that make it easier to use.
<br />
Even if you don't currently use WPF or Silverlight you should still attend this presentation.
At the very least you'll leave with an understanding of MVVM such that you'll be able
to comfortably discuss it during your next job interview.

<strong>Principles of Silverlight Animation</strong>
<br />
Come and learn the fundamentals of Silverlight animation. We’ll start at the beginning
with a review of storyboards and keyframes, and then break free from storyboards and
explore procedural animations. This is where the rubber meets the road and your objects
come to life – vectors, frame-based animations, collisions, particle systems, and
VR objects.

It must be Summer! That means Rick is in town and ready to present some of his <b>great</b> content!

<p>
When Rick presented on jQuery to us last year, we were still about a month away from
Microsoft's announcement that they would ship it with Visual Studio. Let's catch up
and expand on that presentation!

<strong>Using jQuery with ASP.NET</strong>
<br />
jQuery is a compact and powerful JavaScript library that greatly simplifies JavaScript
and HTML DOM manipulation. jQuery's appeal lies in its compact implementation and
flexible and elegant use of selectors to select document elements and manipulate them
using jQuery's flexible and intuitive functions in a browser independent way. From
AJAX functionality, to easy DOM manipulation, to simplified event handling, to simple
effects, this compact library provides many ways to make client scripting much easier
and… actually fun.<br />
Additionally a vast community of add-in authors have added hundreds of extremely useful,
easy to use and free plug-ins that provide many common useful features to common client
side tasks.<br />
In this session I'll show a quick review of jQuery's core client side features, but
the main focus of this session will be on integration of ASP.NET server side functionality
for AJAX callbacks. We'll look at various ways to interface with ASP.NET with jQuery
via manual implementations in WebForms and MVC applications as well as using ASMX/WCF
to handle callbacks. We'll also look at several examples that demonstrate how to effectively
manage client side and server side operations in a maintainable way to minimize code
and layout duplication by using client side templates and wrapping jQuery functionality
via server side components.

It must be Summer! That means Rick is in town and ready to present some of his <b>great</b> content!
</p>
<p>
When Rick presented on jQuery to us last year, we were still about a month away from
Microsoft's announcement that they would ship it with Visual Studio. Let's catch up
and expand on that presentation!
</p>
<p>
Check out his <a href="http://west-wind.com/weblog/posts/872230.aspx">post</a>, too.
