Monday, December 05, 2005 (PST) - The REST of Visual Studio 2005 Speaker: Raymond Lewallen Location: Lunch: Oklahoma City OSU/OKC Student Center Dinner: Oklahoma City Downtown Library

TOO MUCH MATERIAL, TOO LITTLE TIME…
 For the first time we are actually planning 2 separate presentations for our lunch and dinner meetings. In the wake of the launch of VS 2005, SQL 2005, Biz Talk 2006, and, of course, the .NET Framework 2.0, there is just too much material to cover for just one short meeting. This month we plan to maximize our opportunity to bring you the most of this new material with different presentations for each session. Following the November 17th,  highly attended and outstanding MSDN Event, “The Best of Visual Studio 2005 Launch Event” here in OKC, our own Raymond Lewallen will bring you “The Rest of Visual Studio 2005”

Lunch topic:    Visual Studio 2005 Launch Event – The Rest of Visual Studio 2005

SQLCLR – How, When and Why

Raymond will talk about common uses for SQLCLR and when using the SQLCLR is appropriate, as well as walk through Visual Basic code examples on creating and using objects within the SQLCLR.  Raymond will also discuss creating web services from directly within Sql Server.

Evening topic:  Visual Studio 2005 Launch Event – The Rest of Visual Studio 2005

VB 2005 Language Enhancements

Raymond will explore many of the new enhancements to the Visual Basic 2005 language and go through examples on using them to demonstrate how they work, such as Generics, Using, TryCast, IsNot and the new My namespace to name a few.

For the last 11 years, Raymond Lewallen has worked with more programming languages than he can recall, but currently specializes in VB and C# as well as Sql Server.  Working primarily in the public sector during his career, Raymond has designed and built several very high profile enterprise level applications for all levels of the government, and currently works on a project for the Federal Aviation Administration as a contractor employed by L-3 Communications, Titan Group.
