Microsoft exposes ASP.NET

"ASP.NET builds on the foundation of Microsoft's core .NET programming platform, which is essential for connecting people, information, systems and devices," said Quek. "With our state-of-the-art tools such as Visual Studio .NET 2003, we believe that the modern programmer is empowered to build secure, reliable and scalable applications that meet the demands of the modern Internet environment. This series of talks today is specifically aimed at exposing how developers may become more productive at building applications for the World Wide Web using our ASP.NET technology."

"It was amazing to feel the excitement of the developers," added Misnik. "The response to the material was very positive, and the preliminary feedback that we have had from the attendees indicates that this kind of event was long overdue. The development community in Bangladesh is interested in the latest wave of Microsoft technologies and particularly how they can upgrade their skills to catch the wave away from older technologies such as Visual Basic 6.0 and older ASP."

The material presented at the ceremony covered many aspects of developing using ASP.NET Microsoft's latest technology for building Internet applications, ranging from introductory level sessions, to deep drill-downs into the security of web applications, developing web applications that target Mobile device such as SmartPhones and Pocket PCs, and various tips and tricks as to how to get the best out of the technology.

Quek also said, "Clearly there is a great deal of interest in Microsoft's programming platform and tools, and a great deal of demand ranging from the Academic community to the Independent Software Vendor community for information, instruction and technical support. We are just getting started here in Bangladesh and from the positive reception that we have received we definitely want to come here again to deliver more such seminars."
