Information and Application Architecture for the Service-Oriented Enterprise: Metropolis-Part 2
This presentation looks at XML, SQL, WINFS, and objects and offers guidance on which to use where. It also addresses data design for real-time business intelligence.  

Managed Code
Perhaps one of the most important aspects of developing an application that uses the .NET Framework, is that it uses what is known as "Managed Code". The .NET Framework in general, and Managed Code in specific, represent the future direction that Microsoft is heading in the programming model that will be used for developing all Windows applications. In "Longhorn", the codename for the next version of Windows, we will expose an entirely managed API for developing applications with, and this will be the primary method for developing applications for "Longhorn". Watch this episode to check out the benefits of Managed Code as used within the .NET Framework.

Samples and Tutorials

.NET Developer Jump Start Training Sessions
The .NET Developer Jump Start training sessions consist of a short set of online learning modules, each focusing on a different .NET development skill.  Each module has two components: a prerecorded seminar (30-60 minutes) led by an experienced trainer, and a hosted hands-on lab that allows you to practice the skills taught.

Build Applications Using Windows SharePoint Services Component Data
Learn how to set up a standard Windows SharePoint Services site with a component, and then get (and display) the data it holds in an ASP.NET application in this excerpt from Bill English's new book.

Codeswap
Tap into a pool of code samples produced by your fellow developers through CodeSwap, a Visual Studio .NET add-in for the .NET developer community.

Creating an Online RSS News Aggregator with ASP.NET
Learn about displaying XML data in an ASP.NET Web page using the XML Web control to retrieve remote XML data, and about using the Repeater control to emit XML data from a database. With the ever-increasing demands of data sharing among disparate platforms, the use of XML has exploded over the past few years. Realizing this trend, Microsoft made sure to include robust XML support throughout the .NET Framework. For ASP.NET developers, this means that displaying and working with XML data in a Web page has never been simpler. Throughout this article we'll learn about XML and ASP.NET by building an RSS 2.0 syndication engine and an online news aggregator. This article assumes the reader is familiar with ASP.NET and XML. Download RSSAggregator.msi.

Creating Self-Updating Applications With the .NET Compact Framework
Learn to create self-updating applications using .NET Compact Framework. The self-updating application infrastructure consists of two major parts - an updater applet and a web service that provides information about update availability and location. This sample shows how an application can be "automagically" updated from the mobile device.

Rules Processing Engine
This 100% .NET Class library is for programmers who wish to incorporate a Rules Engine into their applications. This class library is designed to enable the developer to utilize a rules based system within their .NET applications. The engine itself has no restrictions that derive from persisting rules. The variable data, rule data, and etc. should be persisted as the developer has need.  It is thread-safe and very high performance. For more information and a working demo, click here.

Simple Web Part (VB .NET)
Demonstrates how to build a simple Web Part using VB .NET.  This is a great starting point for developers who have never built Web Parts before.

The ASP.NET QuickStart
ASP.NET is a rich programming framework for building web-based applications. It offers outstanding support for both developers and administrators, providing improved ease-of-use, tool support, reliability, scalability, administration and security. The ASP.NET QuickStart walks through a series of sample code and concepts to teach you how to make the most of this powerful technology.

XSL Sorting & Filtering Sample
This sample demonstrates how to use the sorting and filtering capabilities of XSL with the XML Data Source Object (XML DSO) to create a basic data-entry Web application.

Working with Images in the .NET Framework
Developers will find that working with images is radically different with the Microsoft® .NET Framework thanks to a number of managed classes that encapsulate the new GDI+ functionality. The GDI+ subsystem is a native component of the Windows XP and Windows Server™ 2003 operating systems that is available to 32-bit and 64-bit Windows-based apps.

WSRP Producer Web Service Toolkit
An example ASP.NET Web service that accesses and renders the contents of SharePoint sites in a format conformant to the OASYS standard for Web Services for Remote Portlets (WSRP).

Using FrontPage 2003 and Visual Studio .NET Together
Microsoft Office FrontPage 2003 provides more and better features than ever for working with code. Even so, FrontPage makes no claims of being a complete and integrated software development environment. That distinction goes to Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003, Microsoft's top-tier platform for developing software of all kinds. Specifically, Visual Studio .NET is the preferred development environment for Microsoft ASP.NET Web pages.
Because each product has different strengths, Web designers typically prefer FrontPage, and Web programmers usually prefer Visual Studio, even if people with both specialties are working on the same project. This article explains how these two pieces of software (and their corresponding approaches to creating Web pages) can coexist peacefully.
