Presentation: "The Interoperable Platform"

Time: Friday 14:00 - 15:00

Location: Wordsworth Room

Abstract: When you choose Microsoft what does that mean? Are you also making the choice to develop isolated solutions, to discard previous investments, and to use tools and environments that can only target the Microsoft platform? The simple answer to these questions is, no. This session will expand on that answer through discussing these areas in more detail. We'll look at the choices of interoperability that the platform offers, and how the tool environment can be used for heterogeneous development.
