Topic: Designing Service Oriented Architecture Based Applications
Speaker: Bruce Johnson, ObjectSharp Consulting

Currently, the big architectural push is towards a service-oriented
architecture (SOA). While the term sounds impressive, it is important to
understand both what SOA is and how it can benefit a development team. In
this presentation you will learn not only what SOA is, but how to design
service-based applications using technologies that are currently available.
And, as important, the presentation also covers how to make sure that your
implementation can more easily take advantage of the new technologies that
will be available with Indigo and Whidbey.

Takeaways from this session:

1. What SOA is and how it compares to object-oriented development
techniques.
2. How to design applications to take advantage of SOA.
3. A description of the technologies that can be used to build SOA
applications right now.

Bruce Johnson is a 20-year veteran in the computer industry with the past
eight years have been spent on the creation of Internet-based applications
using Microsoft technologies. He is a Microsoft MVP, the author/trainer of
the ASP.NET Web Services and Object Oriented Programming courses for AppDev,
a contributor to ASPToday.com, C#Today.com and XML and Web Services magazine
and the co-author of The ASP 3.0 Code Maintenance Handbook.
