MSDN Webcast: Advanced .NET Programming for Grid Computing (Level 200)

Overview

This webcast discusses practical applications and best practices for implementing grid-enabled software. Using Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 and the Digipede Network, it shows how to take existing applications that run on single machines and adapt them to run on a grid - a network of many Windows servers or desktops - thus increasing application performance and scalability. Through this webcast one can learn how to grid-enable a Microsoft .NET plug-in for Microsoft Office Excel 2003 using Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Tools for the Microsoft Office System (VSTO), and how to take a computing-intensive process out of a Windows Forms application and speed it up by running it on a grid.
