how to create new ASP.NET Ajax applications, how to incorporate Ajax
into existing ASP.NET applications, what happens when you incorporate
Ajax features into your web forms and overall how you can make your
web forms smoother and more interactive. You will also learn how to

Kai will be presenting :
Identifying Computer Attacks: Tips, Tricks and Tools
It couldn't happen to you! You've been to all the classes... You've read
through the volumes of security guidance... You've locked everything down
tight... No way this morning's newspaper headline could be correct! You
have that sick feeling in your stomach... "My network has been hacked.
My boss wants answers. What do I do now?"
Check out this informative and entertaining session as Kai Axford demos the
how and why attacks occur. He'll also show you the tools you need to properly
identify an attack and gather forensic evidence. You will learn how to detect
and trace network intrusions and see some of the popular forensics tools that
can help you gain valuable information about the attack.
This presentation is open to all interested. Watching Kai do a full-on attack
against his test systems will be we expect a very enlightening and sobering experience.

DevTeach
DevTeach / SQLTeach Vancouver Nov. 26-30. You don’t want to miss it!
I’d like to tell you more about this great event. One
of the event’s owners (Jean-René Roy) is also an MVP and has been for the past
14 years a user group leader in Montreal. His conference has all the standards
of an international event but it’s done by developers for Developers.
Don’t be surprised if you have lunch with Markus Egger or Carl Franklin
or any other speakers on site. That’s all part of the concept. The gold of this
event is not only to provide training that you cannot get any other way but
also to put you in a environment that favours the networking with renowned speakers.
I strongly recommend that you checkout what this event has
to offer with this link:
