Using New Data Types In 2008 with Andrew Couch

It's an exciting time to be a Microsoft developer - with new platforms and products come new challenges. Make sure you're ready for what's ahead and attend this session. With the introduction of new data types in SQL Server 2008 combined with the existing variety of data types in SQL Server 2005, Office 2007 and SharePoint there is a need to understand how these choices impact the use and exchange of data. This session reviews the different data types and considers how to select the most appropriate data types with regards to the implications this may have for using the data in various versions of Office and Visual Studio. Along the way there will be an opportunity to explore some of the new features in SQL Server 2008 and Visual Studio 2008. This proves to be a fascinating and enlightening session.
