| SQL |
| Get in control of your data with Master Data Services |
Do managers refer to their Excel sheet as my database? Is your company’s product list in System A not synchronized with System B or C?

| Desktop publishing in the browser using Silverlight |
Not everyone is skilled in building great layouts. Some use Word 97 WordArt, others use more modern tools like InDesign. But even the best tool fails if no one follows the guidelines. At Stedelijk Onderwijs Antwerpen the teaching staff regularly create documents such as posters for events. Until recently, virtually none of these followed the rules. Ordina created an in-browser desktop publishing application with Silverlight 3, allowing conformal and easy creating and printing of documents.

| Cloud computing |
| The value of cloud computing and Microsoft Azure |
What is cloud computing and why is it useful? How real is the hype? Why should business people know and care about cloud computing today? What are the short and long term benefits? What is the business model? What is the difference between classic application hosting and cloud computing? And what is meant by the 3 levels in cloud computing: Platform as a Service, Infrastructure as a Service and Software as a Service?
|
| Architecting for Azure, patterns for the cloud |
Let’s take a look at application patterns in cloud computing in general, and how Azure and .NET Services implement them. We see how the web role/worker role pattern is needed to obtain scalability in cloud applications, how the CAP theorem influences the way we implement transactions in the cloud, how data can be stored either relational or nonrelational in a partitioned way, how an internet service bus running in the cloud is created by using .NET Services, and why claims based security is the obvious choice for authentication/authorization in cloud applications. We conclude with an overview of common architectural scenarios: using the cloud for scale, storage, multitenancy and communications.
