| | Thanks to recent innovations from Microsoft including LINQ, the Entity Framework and ADO.NET Data Services, choosing a technology for data access architecture has become a subject for debate. Among other things, Architects must balance productivity, elegance, and performance. Some common questions include: Are data readers and data sets still useful? How should I choose between LINQ and Entity Framework models? Should I design custom entities or use types that follow the database schema? Should I use ADO.NET Data Services to expose my data model or control access via Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) business services? This session looks at data access architecture for each of these technologies, illustrates common practices when employing each, discusses pros and cons, and helps you better understand how to choose the right technology for your scenario. |

| Building Highly Scalable Applications using the Windows Azure Platform | | Building Highly Scalable Applications using the Windows Azure Platform | | | Timing: 10:30am-11:45am | | | |
| | Hear how Microsoft views the future of cloud computing and how it is starting to deliver this vision in the Windows Azure platform. Learn how applications can be written to preserve much of the investment in code, programming models and tools, yet adapt to the scale-out, distributed, and virtualized environment of the cloud. In this Session, we'll take an application and talk about some of the architecture concepts required to scale out applications on the Windows Azure Platform. |

| | One of the challenges architects face is envisioning a solution involving multiple technologies, tying them together and making them work for required solution. This session focuses on such aspects for Windows Azure platform. Today Windows Azure with its services has become a vital consideration for architects, but there is still a challenge seeing how all of them fit as a single unit and how to make them interplay with each other. This session builds on a real world scenario, effectively mapping Azure offerings to requirements on hand, covering architecting, designing & developing aspects while sharing some practical experiences. |

| | Typical view of Performance is Infrastructure and hence bulk of the focus and money are spent over it. With increasing awareness and experience of poor performing applications; Performance testing is mandated in many organizations. However, performance testing is a reactive measure to uncover system deficiency prior to production roll out. Often one does not have enough time to fix the problems uncovered as part of performance testing. Fact is, if little budget is estimated to manage performance as part of Requirement Analysis, Architecture and design review, Software development; many issues can be fixed very early in the SDLC phase. This not only helps cutting cost to address performance issues; but, improves software delivery. This session aims to exploit the key knowledge areas of performance in the space of architecture, design and development phases of .Net and Windows Azure to reiterate the fact that Performance is a proactive approach rather reactive. |
