2:00 - 3:10 | Building "composite" applications
More and more applications today are created by combining services from other applications. These "composite" applications combine data from multiple sources into mashed-up views that provide additional insight and more engaging experiences for the user. While this sort of data aggregation has been common inside data warehouses in the past, new technologies improve this process even further. See how our Software+Services patterns assist in the development of this new class of applications.

3:30 - 4:40 | Extending the reach of your applications
In the past data contained within an application was only available through a limited number of predefined interfaces. Contrast this to the scenario today where users demand to see data in a myriad of formats and want to use it where it makes the most sense for them. At times this will be through a web site, a dedicated client application or provided as a data source for another application altogether. Come to this session to learn about mechanisms to surface data from within an application and some useful design patterns that assist in this process.
