| Building Next Generation User-Interface with Multitouch and Ribbon on Windows 7Speaker(s): Jennifer Marsman
Learn how Multitouch and the Ribbon provide you with powerful capabilities to differentiate your application. Multitouch is how we interact with objects all day every day in the physical world. Windows 7 supports multitouch out of the box so you can extend this same paradigm into the software world. With very little code, you are able to recognize and respond to multiple gestures at once and give your users a very natural method of interacting with your application. The Ribbon allows you to replace the outdated battleship gray chrome in your application with a rich, animated UI. In this session, we will explore both the multi-touch APIs, as well as the Ribbon's markup-based UI.

| Using Team Foundation Build in the "Real" WorldSpeaker(s): Jeff Bramwell
Out of the box, Team Foundation Build provides some generally useful features - e.g. compiling your Visual Studio projects and running unit tests and static code analysis. However, if you want to go beyond these basic features, you have to get out of the Build Type "edit" dialog and become one with the XML-based build script and all that it entails. This session will cover various build-related topics including:
Deploying a build to another environment
Utilizing custom build tasks to handle various tasks (e.g. running FitNesse tests, deploying MSI packages, etc.)
Deploying web-based projects
Debugging tips
3rd party and out-of-band utilities (e.g. TFS Power Tools, TFS Sidekicks, etc.)
How to use queries to determine the current state of a build (e.g. what work item types are deployed and ready for testing?)
Tips and tricks along the way.

| Visual Studio 2010: Web config transformationsSpeaker(s): Jay Smith
In any development environment we have to code local, publish to test, and then have the tested code published to the production environment. The process has built in gates to ensure that bad code doesn’t make it into production, but it causes a huge issue with keeping up with service and database connections in your configuration files. Visual Studio 2010 introduces Web.config transformations as a way to solve this problem. In this session we will look at the age old problems, discuss some solutions in use today and take a look at how Visual Studio 2010 has solved this problem for us today.
