Lang .NET Symposium - Democratizing the Cloud [Lang .NET Symposium - Democratizing the Cloud]

Jenp — Mon, 19 May 2008 19:04:00 GMT

The Lang .NET Symposium is a forum for discussion of programming languages, managed execution environments, compilers, multi-language libraries, and integrated development environments. It provides an excellent opportunity for programming language implementers and researchers from both industry and academia to meet and share their knowledge, experience, and suggestions for future research and development in the area of programming languages.

Democratizing The Cloud video

The web is rocking the world of developers. Our customers love consistency. They want to have the same rich experience, anywhere, any time, on any device. Our sales people love market share. They want no platform that cannot leverage their web services. We ourselves have embraced agile methods. We want to keep our options open as long as possible and create software incrementally by successive refactorings or declarative annotations. This surely sounds like a contradiction, another impossible triangle. The Dutch artist MC Escher once said "Only those who attempt the absurd will achieve the impossible", which inspired us to try to stretch the .NET framework to cover the Cloud. The ultimate goal is to make it possible for normal programmers to incrementally and seamlessly design, develop, and debug complex distributed applications using their favorite existing and unmodified .NET compiler and deploy these applications anywhere.

The Silverlight 1.0 Fire Starter is a one-day event providing developers and designers information on the concept behind Silverlight as a technology, what tools are useful in development and the knowledge in order to start building their own applications.

The eight sessions listed, are available to watch here and be downloaded in video and audio formats.

These are some great materials to really dig into Silverlight - my personal favorite is the Popfly and Silverlight session.

Enjoy!

Let the party begin!!!

With Channel8 we want to create a place where all students who are passionate about technology can come and share their interests, learn from each other, and most of all have fun! And now we need each of you, our Microsoft Student Partners, to be their guides and technical advisors just as MVPs are technical advisors to the Professional Developer audience.

We also want to learn from all of you what types of technology interests you the most.

Do you have Channel8 story ideas?

Do you have a great project you are working on?

Share these with us and other students around the world - right here...

Thank You to the Beta Team!!
