Join us for a free, full day of exploring the flexible data access options in .NET. The .NET Framework is a robust development platform with an enriched ecosystem of tools, components and features enabling developers to enhance their skill sets and create compelling solutions. At this Firestarter event, we will learn about the flexibility that this Framework provides for accessing data in your applications.
Starting with an overview of the key data access options in .NET we will set the stage for diving in to LINQ and LINQ to SQL. A working lunch session will provide an introduction to WCF Data Services and OData, followed by an introduction and deeper look at the ADO.NET Entity Framework. We’ll finish up the day with Azure data storage options.

I attended this meeting live and in person and it was great! Thanks for having such a great event. Question - I think you mentioned that the materials from the presentations may be available on-line following the session, if so where can I find them? Thanks again for a great session!
Thanks for putting this together. It was real nice to be there via webcast- saved me 6 hours of driving! Great job!
