What's new in Access Services in 2013? The Access Services platform continues to evolve with the latest release of SharePoint 2013. In this session we will take a tour of the new features and architecture of Access Services in 2013, and what the impact is to solution design and development decisions. We will examine how Access Services provisions a dedicated SQL server database to back all newly created Access Services "apps," how to effectively use the framework to create successful applications, and what some of the limitations are when considering Access 2013 for solution delivery. Whether you are a seasoned SharePoint practitioner, an experienced MS Access developer, or new to the SharePoint field, this overview will benefit all comers.

Lily is intended to be a virtual assistant, trying to closely mimic human behavior and interactions. The Kinect for Windows sensor provides the "eyes and ears" for Lily. The talk will demonstrate some of Lily's capabilities, show some of the design and code behind Lily and briefly explain future intentions.
