Try Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 in a virtual lab and learn more about accessing relational data using Language Integrated Query (LINQ) to SQL or how Visual Studio 2008 integrates with .NET Framework 3.5. Virtual labs are simple, with no complex setup or installation required. http://technet.microsoft.com/virtuallabs/visualstudio2008 http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss Tue, 29 Apr 2008 09:44:31 -0700 Tue, 29 Apr 2008 09:44:18 -0700 FeedForAll v2.0 (2.0.2.9) http://www.feedforall.com After completing this lab, you should understand how the Microsoft GeneriCo implementation achieves integration through a Service Oriented architecture, uses contract-first development principles via XML Schema, uses ASMX to implement the service layer, and uses BizTalk to implement orchestrations and workflow. http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=8787522 4C41B36F-FCDE-4767-9AD7-DA7291E6F02E Tue, 29 Apr 2008 09:42:19 -0700 After completing this lab, you will be better able to use LINQ to SQL to implement a resource access layer that interacts with an existing Microsoft SQL Server database, use the LINQ to SQL Designer to create LINQ to SQL entity classes and associations (relationships) based on tables in a database, manage the DataContext and how to use where clauses, perform joins, order the results, and handle conflict detection. http://msevents.microsoft.com/CUI/WebCastEventDetails.aspx?EventID=1032376015&EventCategory=3&culture=en-US&CountryCode=US 779B3E03-9DA7-4C58-A2D2-0A0D2C360240 Mon, 14 Apr 2008 15:16:44 -0700 After completing this lab, you will be better able to create and configure a WCF service that uses JSON serialization, consume the WCF service from client-side code, including ASP.NET AJAX controls and JavaScript that you write. http://msevents.microsoft.com/CUI/WebCastEventDetails.aspx?EventID=1032376017&EventCategory=3&culture=en-US&CountryCode=US 7CD9BA5E-1B68-47E4-9A33-D5842DE39B51 Mon, 14 Apr 2008 15:16:27 -0700 In this lab, you will explore the new features of Windows Communications Foundation (WCF) as you expose and consume both RSS and ATOM syndication feeds. http://msevents.microsoft.com/CUI/WebCastEventDetails.aspx?EventID=1032376018&EventCategory=3&culture=en-US&CountryCode=US 25E165FA-EF2B-41DC-A2CD-2BA79EE19857 Mon, 14 Apr 2008 15:15:36 -0700 In this lab, you will use Expression Design and Visual Studio 2008 to build a monster factory web site. In this lab, you will learn how to use the Expression Design to create a XAML picture, and consume XAML pictures using Silverlight and Javascript from a web site. http://msevents.microsoft.com/CUI/WebCastEventDetails.aspx?EventID=1032373840&EventCategory=3&culture=en-US&CountryCode=US E14D224D-4391-4238-AC62-04BC0E476537 Mon, 14 Apr 2008 15:14:58 -0700
