Come out to the Thurston County Fairgrounds on Monday night and get 3 hours of great information on new and exciting technologies from Microsoft and other sources.

Adam Kinney will present information on Silverlight 2.0. Woody Pewitt will talk about Internet Explorer 8 and the Code Trip Bus Cam. Jason Mauer will take us Under the Hood of the code Trip, explaining the technologies used on the bus and on the website.

Thousands of dollars worth of software will be given away from Infragistics (NetAdvantage for .NET), Telerik (RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX, RadControls for WinForms, Telerik Reporting,Sitefinity CMS), Identity Mine (Blendables Essentials Mix) and copies of CodeRush by Devexpress. Along with all of that goodness, there will be some foam Code Trip Buses and Code Trip Laptop sleeves given away. Free stuff and free high quality presentations -- you don't want to miss this.

To answer a question posed by some of you, sorry, no food this time, but grab something on the way out to the fairgrounds and stuff your face while while Jason, Woody and Adam stuff our brains full of new and shiny information.

Please join us on Thursday, April 10th for a presentation on NHibernate by Fred Hirshfield from Sierra Systems, Inc.

Presentation Summary:

"Relational databases and Object Oriented design sometimes conflict with each other making it somewhat difficult to make use of each technology the way they were intended. NHibernate is the *bridge* between these two technologies so that DBA's can manage and tune their database effectively and OOP designers and developers can manage their object model they way they need to and then use NHibernate to map these together.

This session will be an introduction to NHibernate and some of its features for mapping the object model to the database model. The demonstration solution will be made available after the session for those that would like to play around with it. We will explore the tool using a well known domain: Bug Tracking!

NHibernate (www.nhibernate.org):

"Are you ready for the Code Trip to come to Olympia?  Jason Mauer is coming back to Olympia with a tour bus full of geeks.  They'll be pulling up to the Thurston County Fairgrounds on Monday, April 14th.  There will be giveaways, and great information on the newest technology from great presenters.

Have you been tracking the Code Trip?  They started in Las Vegas at MIX08 on March 7th and headed north.  They've made about 13 stops since then and Olympia will be the last one before arriving at the MVP Summit in Seattle on Tuesday, April 15th.  The capacity of our venue is 288, let's see how close we can get to that total, ok?
