Session 1 – Windows Communication Foundation & Windows CardSpace
In this session, we’ll take a look at the Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) which provides a unified mechanism for building distributed applications on the Windows platform with advanced capabilities for interoperability, transport and protocol neutrality, security and reliability. We’ll look at how clients and services are built and configured and we’ll also provide pointers as to what new additions to WCF are likely to come with the next version of Visual Studio, codenamed “Orcas”.

Following on from WCF, we’ll introduce Windows CardSpace which provides a new mechanism for authenticating users to web sites and web services without having to rely on user names and passwords. We’ll show how you would make use of this as an additional authentication mechanism for an ASP.NET web site and also how to authenticate WCF service clients using CardSpace.

Session 2 – Windows Presentation Foundation & Windows Workflow
Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) provides a new unified presentation framework for Windows that helps both designers and developers build extremely rich applications that integrate 2D and 3D graphics with documents and multimedia. In this session we’ll provide an overview of the WPF and its capabilities, take a quick tour of what tools are available and we’ll talk about any changes that are likely to come with Visual Studio codenamed “Orcas”.

We’ll also take a tour around the Workflow Foundation (WF) which provides a framework for building workflow capabilities into your own applications. We’ll look at the tools, the components, the runtime and the services that WF provides and we’ll also take a look at what’s new for WF in Visual Studio codenamed “Orcas”.

    While it finds its feet this meetup will follow the same informal format, of creatives meeting up at The Northern for a drink and meeting new like minded creatives. These networking talks will then hopefully lead to some great work and partnerships.I'm looking at moving Northern Digitals on little with the addition of guest talks by people from different creative fields. More news on this to come, when I've found a venue etc. Any recommendations on this would be great.
