On the 26 of November 2009, two of our most experienced architects will talk about .NET RIA Services.

.NET RIA Services:

Microsoft .NET RIA Services simplifies the traditional n-tier application pattern by bringing together the ASP.NET and Silverlight platforms. The RIA Services provides a pattern to write application logic that runs on the mid-tier and controls access to data for queries, changes and custom operations. It also provides end-to-end support for common tasks such as data validation, authentication and roles by integrating with Silverlight components on the client and ASP.NET on the mid-tier.

The purpose of this session is to demonstrate how this could leverage your existing and future .NET applications.

The guest speakers are:
