My Sessions for next weeks SharePoint Connections in Vegas

Next week I'm presenting at SharePoint Connections, part of the DevConnections group of conferences going on in Vegas. This is a 4 day conference that includes SharePoint, ASP.NET, SQL, .NET Development, etc. Here are my sessions I'm doing:

HDV206: The Main Event: What Wonderful Things We Can Do with Events
Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 provides developers with an enormous amount of flexibility when it comes to responding to events. The new system has events into everything, far surpassing what is currently available in 2003. Events now can be hooked into lists and there are many more events that can be programmed against. In this session, we’ll take a look across most of them and demonstrate how you can leverage them to provide the best bang for your development time.

HDV407: The Secret of My Success: Inside the Business Data Catalog
The Business Data Catalog (BDC) feature of Microsoft Office SharePoint Servers 2007 provides an easy way to integrate business data from backend applications, such as SAP or Siebel, with your corporate portal to provide rich solutions for end users without writing any code. We’ll dissect what makes the BDC tick, how to hook it into things like workflow, leverage new features like the timer functions and work distribution model, and then tie the whole thing into backend systems with little effort.

HDV208: Toys: An In-depth Look at the Best Tools You Can Have in Your Developer Toolkit for SharePoint
Give us the tools, and we will finish the job. There are many tools available for developers when it comes to SharePoint but what should you have in your toolkit? This session explores and demos not only what’s available and how to install them, but how to incorporate them in your day-to-day work with SharePoint. You’ll build your own personalized toolkit that works for you and understand what tool to use for the right job. This covers mostly free and open source tools but also touches on some commercial solutions where needed.

Hope to see you there!
