Milos Quick Start with EPS Software
Where: EPS Software Offices (6605 Cypresswood Dr. Suite 300; Spring, TX) or online via Microsoft Live Meeting
When: December 8, 2008
Why: Overview of building .NET applications with EPS’ advanced Milos technology
EPS Software will be holding a 1-day Quick Start introductory training seminar on the Milos Solution Platform, EPS Software’s advanced modular framework for building .NET business and enterprise applications, as well as .NET development and architecture in general. The event is held at EPS HQ offices in Houston, Texas and can also be attended online via Microsoft Live Meeting.
For this event, industry renowned expert, author, speaker, MVP, President of EPS Software Corp., and Publisher of CoDe Magazine, Markus Egger, as well as technology expert, speaker, author, and MVP, Claudio Lassala, will take an in-depth look at what the Milos Solution Platform is and how it can shorten your time to market/deployment, reduce risk, improve quality, and decrease expenses during the software development process.
During this limited-seating seminar, attendees will learn the architecture behind building solid .NET applications and how Milos can assist developers with this task. This includes the middle tier and data access, business objects, Web and WCF Services, user interfaces using WinForms, WPF, Silverlight, and ASP.NET, and more. Although the event focuses specifically on the Milos Solution platform, non-Milos .NET developers will receive a great benefit from attending, since the presentations cover many general .NET topics such as enterprise application architecture and real world WCF Services and SOA.

| 12/2/2008 | Designers & Developers SIG (D2SIG) - December | Houston | Houston-Area D2 SIG Meeting for Silverlight & WPF Designers and Developers
Where: Microsoft-Houston Offices (2000 West Sam Houston Parkway)
When: December 2 (first Tuesday of each month) - 6:00 – 8:00PM
Why: A free discussion on the latest Microsoft designer and developer technologies
For this free special interest group, industry renowned experts from around Houston will discuss the latest design and developer technologies from Microsoft.
This special interest group (SIG) is a community effort initiated by EPS but open to all interested participants. Each month, a different presenter from various organizations will present to interested attendees. The group is dedicated to exploring modern user experiences (UX) which are part computer programming and part artistic design. While traditionally there has been little overlap in the two disciplines, users now expect a good experience with a professional look. Covered topics will range from development in Silverlight, WPF and related technologies such as Microsoft Surface to design of rich interactive experience for graphical designers. The group strives to provide a good balance of content that appeals to both developers and designers.
This month's meeting will be presented by international author and speaker, Claudio Lassala. Claudio's lecture will include:
- Building Apps with Prism
- Other topics TBD
RSVP Requested
Attendance of the SIG meetings is free. To allow us to plan the meetings better and to judge interest ahead of time, we ask people to RSVP here. (This is a temporary site and will be replaced in the future with www.d2sig.org.)

| 11/24/2008 | VFPConversion with Ken Levy | Amsterdam | VFPConversion: .NET for VFP Developers
Speaker: Ken Levy
This session includes a detailed overview of strategies for VFP developers who are learning .NET, including resources, products, free tools, and services found at VFPConversion.com. VFPConversion.com brings together a team of experts to create the first web portal dedicated to the adoption of technology in addition to Visual FoxPro, in particular, Visual Studio and SQL Server. Visual FoxPro is a great tool, but so are Visual Studio (.NET) and SQL Server. The VFPConversion.com website contains various resources to support the FoxPro community in enhancing their Visual FoxPro applications and adopt the latest technologies available from Microsoft, or if desired in converting applications from FoxPro to the Microsoft .NET platform. Visual FoxPro is a powerful and flexible tool that's used for many mission-critical applications, however, EPS and our partners realize that many companies running VFP would like to migrate and don't know where to turn for advice. The VFPConversion.com portal gives developers a place to get help and advice about their migration needs. Additionally, EPS offers a suite of conversion tools that automate the most painstaking areas of conversion from Visual FoxPro to .NET which drastically reduce the development time required.
Bonus: Beyond VFP 9.0
Speaker: Ken Levy
In this special bonus presentation, Ken Levy will discuss a variety of Visual FoxPro related topics. These topics will include VFP 9.0 service packs, Sedna, the open source community project VFPX, and the status of Visual FoxPro within Microsoft. Ken will also present an overview of a new VFP utility he has created called AppScanX, a data-driven code search utility. In conclusion, Ken will discuss future visions on Microsoft technologies, products, and services, and how VFP and VFP developers can play a role with them going forward into the next decade.

Introduction |
Claudio Lassala |

9:20 – 10:00 |
Overview of Visual Studio and the .NET Platform from a VFP
Perspective
This session provides a general overview of .NET. What are the
main features?
How does development compare to development in VFP? Why is
.NET so important? |
Claudio Lassala |
|
10:00 – 10:15 |
BREAK |
|
|
10:15 – 12:00 |
The Main Languages: C# and Visual Basic
No matter what you do in .NET, you likely need to know some C#

12:00 – 13:30 |
LUNCH BREAK |
|
|
13:30 – 15:30 |
Object-Oriented Development
Object-Oriented development is second nature for many VFP
developers. .NET's
object model is an evolution of VFP's object model, so
most people will feel
right at home. But there are differences. |
Claudio Lassala |
|
15:30 – 15:45 |
BREAK |
|
|
15:45 – 17:00 |
Databases and Data Access in .NET vs. Visual FoxPro
Data handling is one of VFP's great strengths. How does it
work in .NET? This is
the question this session will answer by providing an overview
of SQL Server and
ADO.NET. |
Claudio Lassala |
|
17:00 – 17:15 |
BREAK |

overview, based on best
practices and real world experience, of the optimal way to
transition a mission
critical application from any version of FoxPro to .NET and
SQL server |

technologies that are
generally beyond the scope of this workshop, but are
nevertheless interesting
enough to spend a few minutes on... |

Object-Oriented Development - Advanced
.NET offers a lot more object-oriented features than what VFP
has, and many of
them are core to writing code in .NET: Interfaces, Generics,
Delegates, Events,
just to name a few. |
Claudio Lassala |
|
10:30 – 10:45 |
BREAK |
|
|
10:45 – 12:00 |
Design Patterns
Design Patterns are often used every day by every developer in
one way or
another. A basic understanding of patterns and how to
implement them is very
useful for all .NET developer, and this session tries to
clarify design patterns
in a way that everybody can understand and start thinking
about patterns in a
more natural way. |
