Come see exciting new RAD developer technologies that allow you to quickly generate applications. Whether you are a pure Web 2.0 developer or one looking for more of a richer client experience through Silverlight, these tools can quickly get you up and running, while allowing you to add unlimited functionality to your applications. LightSwitch makes it simple for developers to quickly build polished, user-friendly custom business applications that work and look like an off-the-shelf solution, for the desktop and the cloud. Built upon Silverlight, the tool automatically handles routine code and lets developers focus on the custom logic that makes their applications unique. As part of Visual Studio (a new sku), LightSwitch gives developers the flexibility to build practical, scalable applications that connect with their existing applications, legacy systems and web services, letting them choose from a wide variety of hosting, deployment and 3rd-party plug-in options. WebMatrix is everything you need to build Web sites using Windows. It includes IIS Developer Express (a development Web server), ASP.NET (a Web framework), and SQL Server Compact (an embedded database). It streamlines Web site development and makes it easy to start Web sites from popular open-source apps. The skills and code you develop with WebMatrix transition seamlessly to Visual Studio and SQL Server.

The location of the meeting is in room 272 of the Hub on the campus of the University of Florida in Gainesville, Florida ‎
