Your second chance to meet the IIS team this November will be in sunny Barcelona! TechEd Developer is also next week (11/7-11/10) at the Centre Convencions Internacional (CCIB) in Barcelona Spain. Eric Rudder, the SVP for Technical Strategy, is giving the keynote speech on how the launch of Windows Vista and Office 2007 is ushuring in a new wave of technologies that will enable Developers to create more compelling solutions. For Web developers, this means ASP.NET AJAX and of course, IIS7 in Windows Vista.
The IIS team is sending Program Manager, Thomas Deml, and SDET, Kanwaljeet Singla to the event. Kanwal will be attending to meet with the Developer attendees and show them product demonstrations at the IIS7 booth. Thomas Deml will be giving several presentations on IIS6 and IIS7. Thomas is really a top expert on the team so I expect all of these sessions to be excellent. Here’s the lineup -
First on Thursday afternoon, Thomas is going to present DEV232: Internet Information Services (IIS) 7.0: End-to-End Overview of Microsoft's New Web Application Server (Thu Nov 9 13:30 - 14:45 Room 117). This talk should give Web Developers good glimpse at how they can use all the new capabilities of IIS7 while they develop, test, deploy and manage Web applications.
Next, Thomas will do a second breakout on Friday afternoon, DEV002: DEMO: IIS 7.0: The New .NET Extensibility Interfaces (Fri Nov 10 13:30 - 14:45 Room 115), which will be all about the many ways you can extend IIS7 with your own custom functionality. In his demos, he’ll most likely extend the Web server request process, the configuration schema and the IIS Manager tool.
Finally right after that breakout, Thomas is delivering a Whiteboard discussion entitled, DEVWD25: IIS 6.0 Programming Interfaces and Architectural Drill Down (Fri Nov 10 15:15 - 16:30 Room 131). Here, expect him to dive into the request processing model and most important APIs to help Web developers build applications that perform better when running on IIS6.
If you don’t get enough IIS from Thomas, check out Matt Gibb’s two part talk, DEV229&343: ASP.NET: End-to-End - Building a Complete Web Application Using ASP.NET 2.0, Visual Studio 2005, and Internet Information Services (IIS) 7 (Thu Nov 9 10:45 - 12:00 & 15:45 - 17:00). It is based off of a Scott Guthrie talk that audiences have scored very high in the past.
Well that’s all we got for this event. It’s actually quite a lot considering we’re only sending two team members. Once again, if you are attending this event, let us know you’re coming to see us. We love the chance to talk to our customers so stop by the booth or go to the talks and say hi to the team.
