One of the biggest issues related to deployment is an inability for IT professionals to assess and to know exactly what problems the organization will have, once the new Office is deployed. Fear, uncertainty, and doubt sometimes are a larger issue than the real incompatibility itself. It is also difficult today for developers to pinpoint portions of the code that will not function properly once the application is used with Office 2010. The Office 2010 Application Compatibility program is designed to help customers and partners to assess the environment pre-deployment of Office 2010 and to help identify compatibility issues within their applications code. Come to this session to learn about new tools to help assess the Office environment and identify potential issues in documents and code that may become a migration barrier as you decide to migrate to Office 2010.

Even Microsoft MVPs, who are privileged to product information earlier than most, were surprised by the release of the new search engine. Well, Bing really does seem to be holding its own and even standing out above other engines in many ways. But part of the great thing about a search engine is the ability for us to leverage them from beyond just the Web browser -- to access their services from our own applications. Bing exposes a great API to do just that, and not just the simple ability to perform text searches, but also image, video, and many specialty searches. In this session, learn how to access the Bing API and perform all its great functionality from within your own applications, by using another great Microsoft technology, Windows Communication Foundation (WCF).

As an application which demands high levels of the "-abilities" (availability, reliability, scalability, etc.) and stringent resource demands, the sizing process is critical to ensuring a healthy production environment. Sizing Exchange 2010, which introduces a new replication and resiliency model (DAGs), a personal archive as well as dramatic I/O reductions, radically changes the approach to storage design. Enhancements and new functionality hosted in the client access server, support for role consolidation on a single server and optimization for software + services models bring similar challenges when designing servers. This session addresses sizing and performance tuning methodology, and a time-tested approach for applying this methodology to your environment. The session covers key enabling hardware advancements, such as x64 architectures, multi-core processors, SATA, SAS and SSD disk technology, and how these technologies will play a key role moving forward with Exchange 2010. Finally, the session provides rules of thumb, based jointly on HP characterization testing and HP / Microsoft best practices, for sizing the key server roles and technologies associated with typical Exchange 2010 deployments.

Powerful and useful as the Recycle Bin is, however, there is more to it than a bit of clicking and dragging, as there is no Recycle Bin GUI built into R2 -- the only in-the-box way to make use of the Recycle Bin is a set of PowerShell commands. (There ARE third-party GUIs for the Recycle Bin, though, as you learn in this talk.) How long can something stay "dead" before it can't be revived? Must we reboot our domain controllers to un-delete things? Is there a way in an R2 domain to delete something and ensure that it CAN'T be revived? Find out in this fast-paced, comprehensive look at the new Active Directory Recycle Bin, presented by Mark Minasi, author of some of the best-selling books on Active Directory around!

C++0x, the next C++ standard, is almost upon us and it contains the most important updates to the language since the mid-90s. It even accepts the existence of multiple threads for the first time in the history of the language. Needless to say, these new features bring more expressiveness and power to the native C++ developer. Visual Studio 2010 has added support for some of these key features in order to enable these modern programming techniques. This session clarifies what features are in Visual C++ 2010 and what is yet to come.

Why not? Because most developers are classic left-brain thinkers. They are skilled at procedural logic and deductive logic, and they hone their left-brain capabilities every day by writing code. However, user interface design, particularly in the era of advanced UI technologies such as Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) and Microsoft Silverlight, requires right brain skills too: visual sense, pattern matching, and empathy with users. The ideal UI designer marries the best of both sides of their mind. In this session we look at the importance of right-brained thinking in UI design, and suggest strategies for left-brain-tending developers to learn to tap into right-brain skills.

Microsoft Test and Lab Manager enables testers to collect more detailed diagnostic data during a test run leading to higher quality bugs that provide more insight to the developers on what actually went wrong when the bug occurred. With the addition of Test Strips, testers can generate automation as an artifact of their test runs helping to not only increase coverage of the application, but reducing the time it takes to manually test the application. Finally, we show how Test Impact Analysis helps developers test the right automated tests from within Visual Studio, while testers know what the right set of tests to prioritize and run are given recent changes introduced by the development organization.

Come one, come all, and learn how to add a new tool to your kit to find and kill bugs faster. Watch as Brian fires up Microsoft’s new Visual Studio Lab Management 2010 with Team Foundation Server 2010. He’ll use this to create a virtual test environment on top of Hyper-V that mimics a production environment. Something you can do too—whether for an in-house configuration or for your customers. Using the Build features of Team Foundation Server 2010 with Team Lab, you can automate the deployment of a single virtual machine or an entire virtual domain, and Brian shows you how. Then you can execute automated tests in this virtual environment to increase your automated test coverage. In addition, your testers can use the virtual environment to run manual tests. Finally, the best part of all of this is that if a bug is found, they can snapshot the virtual environment and provide that to a developer so they can ferret out the bug right where it reared its ugly head. Brian shows you this, too and why you’ll want to create your own virtual test lab and manage it with Visual Studio Lab Management.

Have you ever spent three days working on a long and complex query, wondering if there might be a better way? Good news: The OVER clause, first introduced in Microsoft SQL Server 2005, can be used to quickly and easily solve a number of problems that were previously very difficult or seemingly impossible. In this session, learn to leverage aggregations and windowing operations to gain insight without losing information, enabling you to answer a number of interesting business problems with ease. Several demos are shown to highlight the utility of the OVER clause for solving a large number of difficult--yet common--query problems, including custom paging schemes, data de-duplication, "top-N" problems, and complex statistical calculations. You also learn how to creatively apply the feature to help with performance optimization of certain classes of tough queries. If you're tired of writing queries that just don't seem good enough, attend this session to get to the next level.

They all want answers. Many questions are easy enough to deal with: "Did someone drop my view?" Others are a bit trickier: "What was the previous value of this row?" And some are seemingly impossible: "Who selected the data from this table over the past week?" For many DBAs, the answer to some or all of these questions is often "Umm..." But don't blame yourself; getting this information in SQL Server has never been especially easy—until now. SQL Server 2008 ships with several new technologies designed to help you track and report on exactly what happened, who did it, and when. In this session, learn about SQL Server 2008 features: Change Tracking, Change Data Capture, and SQL Server Audit, each of which provides a distinct set of capabilities and has specific strengths and weaknesses. Looking at each of these technologies in turn, you will see how they work and where you might want to leverage them in your SQL Server infrastructure. If you're used to saying "Umm..." get ready to say "I'll be right back with the answer."
