Training Session - An Introduction to Web Services by Jesse Liberty

An overview of web services, and a tutorial on creating and consuming web services. An
introduction to the underlying technologies of XML, XSD, WSDL and SOAP. If time
allows, we will discuss the emerging  dichotomy between web services as remote
procedure calls vs. web services as message based systems and the advantages and
limitations of the .NET support for Web Services.

Jesse Liberty is the author of Programming ASP.NET and Programming C# (O'Reilly) as
well as a dozen other books on web development and object-oriented programming. He
is a frequent contributor to industry journals, and has been a regular columnist for C++
Report and the Intel Developer web site. Jesse is the president of Liberty Associates,
Inc., where he provides on-site training, consulting and contract programming. He is a
former Vice President of Citibank, and Distinguished Software Engineer for AT&T.

Main Meeting Presentation - GDI+ and Custom Winform Controls by Jesse Chunn

Jesse will explain the basics of how to use GDI+ in the context of creating a Custom
Control for Windows Forms. The concepts shown can be used to "draw" on practically
anything, including forms, pictureboxes, and custom controls. There will be no
Powerpoints... code only. A basic understanding of Visual Basic is required. All code will
be made available for download after the presentation. When Jesse is done, you will
know everything you need to know to create a user drawn custom winforms control from
scratch.

Jesse Chunn is the President of Standard I-O, Inc. Standard I-O was founded by Jesse
Chunn in 1995 as a one man software development company. In 1996, with more work
than a single person could do, he hired one, then another programmer. Realizing that
he was onto something, Jesse rented some office space and began to actively grow the
company. Since then, Standard I-O has grown into a full-scale custom software provider
with a professional staff of Microsoft certified developers and graphic designers. With
specialists in web-design, marketing, wireless technologies, human resource
management and, of course, enterprise software architecture, Standard I-O has become
a one-stop source for technology services. Check them out at
