We have some system tables to get some info like tables “Field”, “Key”, “Object”, but they give limited info on the object. To know more, we […]

Demoing with Hyper-V by Lyle Curry

I arrived a little late at this session because of the hotel check-out that took longer than expected.
Until now, customers I went to that have virtualization, have a VMWare solution, so I have been studying, playing, testing VMWare Server and Workstation. But I think that in the future, customers might get started using Hyper-V. So […]

The first session. It is an ISV session, so more a commercial one. All 4 sessions were ISV sessions […]

Hands- on labs “WebServices” and “Client Extensibility” both done by Dmitry Chadaev and Vitaliy Lebedev

I really like labs. They are like a kickstart to learn something new.

I have done something with webservices before. But all in […]

So, in […]
