Come in as jQuery zero, go out as jQuery hero by Gill Cleeren

Download PPT of this session here.

Session Abstract :

jQuery
is the web developers’ new favorite. This lightweight JavaScript library has
developers writing JavaScript code again, and loving it! What previously needed
20 lines of code can now be done in just 3 lines. Who wouldn’t be enthusiastic?
Microsoft showed its love for the library by fully integrating it in Visual
Studio. I dare to ask: should you stay behind? In this session, we’ll take a
look at jQuery and we’ll teach you what you need to know to get you on your
way. More specifically, we’ll look at selectors, attributes, working with WCF,
jQuery UI, and much more. You could easily walk out of this session wearing a
sticker: “I love jQuery”!

Open Data for the Open Web by Scott Hanselman

Session abstract :

There is no shortage of valuable data being generated by applications, reports,
tools, Web sites, etc. Unfortunately, this leaves many of us wishing we could
programmatically access the data and logic behind an app, report, or Web site.
To break down data silos and increase the shared value of data and its
associated business logic through the Web, Microsoft has recently announced the
Open Data Protocol which enables exposing any data source as a Web-friendly
data feed. Join this session to understand what the Open Data Protocol (OData)
is and how it adds end-user and developer value to many of Microsoft's leading
products and services (such as SharePoint Server 2010, Microsoft Codename
"Dallas", Windows Azure, SQL Server Reporting Services, SQL Server
PowerPivot for Excel, Visual Studio, .NET, Silverlight, AJAX, etc.), as well as
being accessible from a range of platforms such as Java and PHP. "
