B.NET Web Experts Meet!

Saturday 20th Jan 07 was so special to all our tech loving people as B.Net organized another mind blowing event [ I should say it as FUNCTION as it was FUN + ACTION ] for the .Net community. The event was scheduled by 2:30 pm at the Microsoft campus. We had three great sessions 1) Web Services by Pooran Prasad 2) Developer’s Overview of the Windows Live Platform. By Kevin D’Souza 3) Latest Infragistics Controls / Q&A by Jason beres, Infragistics, USA.

First session started off on exact time and Pooran gave a very good insight on Web services and he also talked about the job opportunities available in his company.

Lot of people where looking eagerly on Windows Live Platform. Kevin stood out for every one’s expectation. We had fun when he asked about “what people think when someone says Internet?” and when people there unanimously answered Google. A good round of laughter went around there when ever he used the G Word.

Everyone was simply blown when he explained the Windows Live Earth particularly the 3D part and showing the route info of any city. It was great to see how easy to code or bring a live earth feature into our application. Thanks Kevin for the demo.

Next came the session on Infragistics.Jason was simply amazing. He explained how better their tools are when compared with MS default controls. Infragistics Data grid control stands out with tool supporting export to excel, dragging the columns, Multi sorting and much more. We had a nice Q & A session where people gave lot of ideas to Jason by asking whether a particular feature is available with infragistics for e.g. exporting grid data’s to PDF format. I hope even Jason enjoyed the event. Of course none can forget the way he distributed the prize ball to every one in the hall.

Thanks to the B.Net Founders and Organizers for the Saturday event and Thanks to all the speakers on that day. Thanks to all the audience present there as they are very important to make any event live and enjoyable.

Looking forward for more functions like this.
