What's New for XML in SQL Server 2008 2007-10-04 Microsoft

Microsoft introduced XML-related capabilities in Microsoft SQL Server 2000 with the FOR XML and OPENXML Transact-SQL keywords, which enabled developers to write Transact-SQL code to retrieve a query result as a stream of XML, and to shred an XML document into a rowset. SQL Server 2008 builds on the XML capabilities of previous releases and provides enhancements to meet the challenges that customers have faced when storing and manipulating XML data in the database. Microsoft SQL Server 2008 builds on the extensive support for XML by extending support for XML schema validation and XQuery, and by enhancing the xml data type.

MSDN Webcast: Look What You Can Do With Silverlight 2 (Part 6 of 6): Adaptive Streaming (Level 200) 2008-06-27 Microsoft

This webcast highlights adaptive streaming, which is an addition to the rich media capabilities of Silverlight 2. Adaptive streaming enables Silverlight 2 applications to examine the capabilities of the client computer, like CPU and bandwidth, and adjusts the bit-rate encoding of streaming video to handle network congestion and CPU usage automatically. It demonstrates how to implement adaptive streaming in Silverlight 2 applications, and it wrap up with a brief look at some other cool features of Silverlight 2 and a glimpse of Silverlight Mobile.

MSDN Webcast: Look What You Can Do With Silverlight 2 (Part 5 of 6): Testing Framework (Level 200) 2008-06-25 Microsoft

A new testing framework is shipping with Microsoft Silverlight 2. This testing framework enables to write unit tests for UI and non-UI functionality in Silverlight 2 and it includes more than 2,000 unit tests covering all of the released Silverlight 2 controls. This webcast examines some of the built-in unit tests and how to build the own unit tests or extend the included unit tests, all of which are covered under an open-source license. It also discusses the support in Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 for debugging the Silverlight 2 applications.

Live From Redmond: Controls and Events (Subtitle: Programming Silverlight 2 With Expression Blend and Visual Studio 2008) 2008-06-25 Microsoft

This webcast will provide a complete overview of why one Silverlight Geek has moved from 15 years of programming exclusively in Visual Studio to a mixed model of Expression Blend for UI development and Visual Studio for coding and debugging. Along the way, the presenter will demonstrate the numerous Silverlight 2 controls and the associated event model, and he will explain and demonstrate the moving parts behind a robust Silverlight 2 application.

Momentum Webcast: Can Process Improvement and Application Lifecycle Management Really Improve Your Business? (Level 100) 2008-06-25 Microsoft

The term Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) is attracting significant attention from tool vendors, research groups, and industry thought leaders. Although proactively managing the application throughout the life cycle seems to be a simple concept, in fact there are seemingly innumerable ways to accomplish the goals of ALM. Coordinated toolsets, the Capability Maturity Model, innovative modeling techniques, and commercially available processes all provide pieces of this frequently misunderstood and often complex puzzle. This webcast discusses the basic tenets of Application Lifecycle Management, describe what kinds of projects benefit most from ALM, explain how the Microsoft Visual Studio Team System supports this initiative, and examine why a repeatable, pragmatic software development process cannot be overlooked when implementing ALM.
