## Microsoft talk & FREE PIZZA

Submitted on: 11th October 2006

1st talk of the year, wednesday 11th October 2006 at 6pm C1060 followed by FREE PIZZA! come along and meet the rest of skynet Abstract: Atlas, and other improbable and free developer tools from Microsoft Description: Wondering what Microsoft has to offer student developers? Interested in creating cutting-edge websites (and even games for the Xbox 360?), using best-in-class tools and technologies, on a low low budget of exactly nothing? Come see what's new for developers from Microsoft in this highly interactive session. After a broad look at what's available, we'll test-drive ASP.NET "Atlas", Microsoft's powerful new framework for building rich, cross-browser, cross-platform AJAX applications. We'll see how "Atlas" makes it possible to easily take advantage of AJAX techniques on the Web and create pages with a rich, responsive UI and server communication. You'll leave with pointers to all the free resources you need to get started learning and coding with the latest developer tools from Microsoft. Bio: Robert Burke is a member of the Developer and Platform Group at Microsoft Ireland. In his previous life, he was a researcher in the MindGames group at Dublin's Media Lab Europe, where he was architect and lead developer of a .NET application called Symphony, which was used for everything from a brain-computer interface to performance art pieces
