Readify was a strong supporter of CodeCampSA flying in presenters such as Mitch Denny and Greg Low.Darren Neimke, who also presented at CodeCampSA, heads up the local scene for Readify. Darrens’ commentReadify’s commitment to technical readiness for VS2008 is demonstrated by the broad range of community events and training sessions that we deliver. In Sydney, Canberra, and Melbourne we are running bi-weekly RDN sessions where our own experts give in-depth presentations in this area. Much of the content for our RDN sessions comes from our experiences with the product as early adopters and also through our extensive, internal Professional Development program. Much of the content which results from these activities can also be found at the Tech Zone on our website. We look forward to having some of these events come to Adelaide in 2008. PROGRAMME

These include things such as a new CSS designer, new server controls, and baked-in support for ASP.NET Ajax. Come along and join the discussion as Darren demonstrates how to use ASP.NET Ajax to build truly web applications that are truly client-centric. 7.05 pm Paul Stovell MVP—Readify Senior Developer – Introducing LINQpaul.stovell@readify.net | B: www.paulstovell.net With Visual Studio 2008, Microsoft will release a set of extensions to the .NET Framework known collectively as “LINQ”, or Language INtegrated Queries. LINQ gives developers the ability to query many data sources, including XML and SQL Server, all from within the strongly-typed comfort of C# or Visual Basic .NET. We expect LINQ to play a part in every .NET application of the future. In this session, Paul will look at the changes coming to the C# and VB.NET languages to support LINQ, demonstrate some of the features of LINQ, and offer guidance on real-world LINQ usage. 7.55 pm Meeting close 2.
