The blurb for the presentation goes as follows: "We often see various web technologies shown off in isolation as they come out but never really see them operating together to form a complete solution. This presentation will introduce the ease with which various Microsoft technologies integrate including Silverlight 2, AJAX, WCF, jQuery and more!"

For all those who attended my sessions "Entity Framework: A scenic tour" at Microsoft DevDays 2009 or anyone else who is interested the resources and screencast are available for download below.

The blurb for the presentation goes as follows: "Join us on an introductory tour of the ADO.Net entity framework, an advanced data access technology that bridges the gap between the database schema and objects in your application. We will explore the new mapping capabilities that allow one to map unwieldy database tables to neat objects that make use of object oriented principles such as inheritance. Queries will be demonstrated against this new Entity Model using both Entity SQL and Linq to Entities. We will end off the tour by briefly touching on some of the more advanced features of the framework."
