WPF and Silverlight: Creating designs that will Captivate not Intimidate users In
this session, Paul Dawson from Conchango, one of Europe's leading web design agencies
will explore the shift that WPF and other technologies will place on the expectations
of consumers; but also how when given powerful design tools, it's important to make
sure that your design is always on target for your audience, and you're not designing
for the sake of it. He'll look at some techniques and tricks to use to make sure
that design in WPF is always on target, in part by looking at the different ways
in which designers and developers work together with WPF and Silverlight.

Web Standards and IE7 |
People working with the Web know that IE7 has improved CSS support. This makes for
an exciting time, but how do we successfully design sites that not only tap into

In this session, you'll learn about each improvement to IE7 and how to manage compatibility
issues as well as encouraging progressive use of CSS for all site design.

then move on to show how major newspapers and publishers are changing the reading
experience forever using new tools from Microsoft's Advanced Reading Technologies
group, and how consumers and advertisers alike are reacting to it.

Exploring Ajax Patterns |
This session takes a deeper look at the AJAX paradigm by discussing key development
patterns. It demonstrates implementing them using a combination of out-of-the-box
features and as well as features built by leveraging the extensibility of the platform.
Patterns covered range from fundamentals such as networking, search optimization,
navigation, and unobtrusive script attachment to user interface usability techniques
such as visual notifications, and customization. The demonstrations are illustrated
in the context of a simple scenario, but are designed to be applied directly to
real-world applications.
