InfoCan invited to speak at SDA.NET Conference 2005 in Singapore !

InfoCan Management is starting our conference circuit this year in beautiful Singapore by attending the SDA.NET Conference 2005. Held from May 24 to May 27, this 4-day event features speakers from around the world ( America , Europe and Asia ) presenting topics on the latest development in .NET and issues faced in the region. The conference covers all the essentials of .NET. It focuses not only on the technicalities, but also applications in various industries.

InfoCan Management's Chief Technology Officer, Michael Li , has been invited to speak at this conference on the following topics:

What is New and Migration to Delphi 2005 (Power Workshop)
This workshop concentrates on the latest features introduced in Delphi 2005:

New IDE features
Refactoring
New database features
ASP Deployment support
Unit Testing
Data Remoting
ECO ( Enterprise Core Object) II
J2EE and .NET integration

And Migration to Delphi 2005:

Should I upgrade to Delphi 2005?
What are the new features?
Should I port my Delphi applications to C# instead?
.NET is about 12-18 months away for me, what can I do today to minimise the transition later?
Architectural considerations
.NET and Win32 inter-operability
Compatibility issues
VCL vs. VCL.NET
BDE/dbExpress to ADO.NET/BDP
DataSnap to .NET Remoting
Web development transition
Borland Development Studio vs. Visual Studio
Transition planning and techniques
Boundaries and constraints

ASP.NET Caching and Performance Tuning (Regular Session)
Performance is crucial to all software applications.  Users easily become impatient when forced to wait while an application processes their requests.  For Web developers, they must pay special attention to performance as they can also be contending with limited bandwidth and traffic load.  This session will showcase the built-in performance optimization mechanism; learn how declarative and programmatic caching can improve performance, working with Application Center and other tools to monitor and measure performance, caching and user controls, improve data access and other optimization best practices. 

Introduction to Compact & Mobile Framework (Regular Session)
As for .NET Framework v1.1, ASP.NET Mobile Controls natively support over 200+ devices ranging from cell phones, PDAs to 2-way pagers from a single mobile web form.  This session will provide an overview on the similarity and differences between ASP.NET Compact and Mobile Framework and the magic behind adaptive rendering.  The presentation will evolve an application by employing a cross section of the mobile controls in order to demonstrate the rich component set that come with the Framework.   You will also learn about best practices on how to develop for multiple devices such as tabletPC, PocketPC, and mobile phones.  Each device brings on a separate set of challenges – different form factor, computing power, memory constraints, security and more.  Code examples for this talk will be provided in C#.

ALM:  Quest for the perfect Requirements (Regular Session)
If you are in the business of building applications, you will appreciate the importance of identifying the proper requirements before coding.  The cost of not doing so can result in complete failure of the project.  This session will showcase how Borland® CaliberRM,™ can help you manage requirements on an enterprise level, facilitate collaboration, conduct impact analysis before making any changes, and management of changing requirements.  ALM best practices will be demonstrated to show you how to take control of your project.  If you have ever suffered the pain of bad specification or lack of it, you don't want to miss this session.  It will change the way you think about project management and application development!
