Upcoming Atlas & Virtual Earth presentations throughout New Zealand
As listed on http://dot.net.nz/, I will be presenting both the Microsoft "Atlas" framework and the Virtual Earth platform in Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch and Dunedin later this month.
In this demo-centric presentation, Tatham Oddie will provide a developer’s overview of the Microsoft "Atlas" framework. This new Web development technology from Microsoft integrates client-script libraries with the ASP.NET 2.0 server-based development framework. "Atlas" makes it possible to easily take advantage of AJAX techniques on the Web and enables you to create ASP.NET pages with a rich, responsive UI and server-communication.
Following the recent addition of New Zealand mapping data to the Virtual Earth platform, Tatham will also demonstrate how you can integrate VE functionality into your applications using the support already available through the "Atlas" framework.
The talk dates/times are:
- Auckland – Tuesday 27th June at 1800 (Click here to RSVP)
- Wellington – Wednesday 28th June at 1800 (Click here to RSVP)
- Christchurch – Thursday 29th June at 1200 (Click here to RSVP)
- Dunedin – Thursday 29th June at 1800 (Click here to RSVP)
Unfortunately, if you are based in Christchurch I think you will miss out on the VE component of the talk as we will be under stricter time constraints so that people can get back to work.
The talks will be an updated (and slightly reorganised) version of the series I did along the east coast of Australia during April. You can get the resources for these talks from my previous post – "Updated Atlas Slides + Demos".

Microsoft Atlas is cool. Need to have more control and testing for crossbrowsing

[...] Over the last 4 to 6 ish years that Microsoft computing has been relatively stagnant, I’ve invested a lot of time in “branch solutions”. For example, I don’t use ASP.NET Webforms – I use MonoRail. As a result I’ve had an equivalent of master pages for years now. While this was a great solution at the time I made the decision, it now means I’ve strayed a bit too far from the pack to really know what’s going on. Sure, I know the marketing pitches for all these new technologies almost backwards (I even present on some of them), however I don’t use these new technologies. Well, it’s time to see what’s out there and spend a few weeks in “official land”. [...]
