TOPIC:
Microsoft Platform Overview - Today and Beyond - David Chou

Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA), Web 2.0, and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS); are of the most prominent trends driving many fundamental changes today, and have helped shape a new era in technology. Application platforms are also evolving to support today's environment, and help prepare for what's beyond. This presentation will discuss Microsoft's vision of the future, and how innovations on the Microsoft platform are driving towards a more diversified, higher-level, and more comprehensive support across a myriad of technologies. We will have an interactive discussion on "what's available" and "what's possible" on the broad Microsoft platform, where our .NET skills can be leveraged to develop next-generation applications.
