Full Stack Day
Building a dynamic website involves a number of different technologies, including some sort of database, some web application framework, html, css and javascript. Some developers are good at all of these but most are just familiar with a few (if any).

Get into MongoDB
David Penton will give an overview of the NoSQL movement and what it *might* mean for traditional database developers. What are folks really looking for with a NoSQL database? Then MongoDB installation, basic usage, and .NET drivers. Examples with NoRM will be used.
Take a Walk on the Client-Side
As .NET developers we usually spend the bulk of our time slinging C#/VB.NET code and writing Sql with little focus on the client-side of the web.
Building and Consuming a REST API Using ASP.NET MVC, IoC, and Good ol' JavaScript
A solid REST API is essential to any modern web application. Yet a REST API alone is of little value. We are going to walk through an example of how to use ASP.NET MVC and Inversion of Control (IoC) to create a framework for delivering a sustainable REST API.
Silverlight and ASP.NET MVC Awesomeness
Amir will be presenting on "lessons learned" from building an application using Bing Maps, Silverlight, and ASP.NET MVC. The presentation will cover integrating Silverlight and ASP.NET MVC, communicating RESTfully in Silverlight, and how to use IOC containers in conjunction MVP/MVVM.
Mono, MonoTouch, and MonoDroid
Mono is an open-source, cross-platform implementation of the .NET framework based on the ECMA standards for C# and the Common Language Infrastructure. With Mono, users can run applications written and compiled in Visual Studio.NET on Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X.
Journey to Fluent NHibernate
NHibernate has always been preferred ORM tool for DDD community in .NET land. However one area of NHibernate where people struggled most is its xml base configuration. This is where Fluent NHibernate was born giving Fluent, XML-less, compile safe, automated, convention-based mappings for NHibernate.
The CAP Theorem and its Implications
In 2000, Eric Brewer proposed the CAP Conjecture. It was proven in 2002 by a group at MIT, and is henceforth known as the CAP Theorem.
Things You Can Do with the Dynamic Language Runtime
The Dynamic Language Runtime (DLR) came out in version 1.0 with the release of .NET 4 but most developers don't know it is there and, if they do, don't know what you can do with it.
