For the business world, one of the most exciting promises of the information age
is the opportunity to provide employees with access to information and the tools
to act on that information whenever and wherever they need to.
To a
certain extent, that promise has already been achieved - today, most
businesspeople work on PCs that provide access to information, applications, and
resources far beyond the boundaries of their local machine. There are limits,
however. Today's Internet model for information and application distribution
assumes access to a network connection, but ubiquitous Web connectivity still
lies in the future. And some computing tasks require robust functionality that
can only be provided efficiently by "rich" client applications that reside on
the local computer.
So a challenge arises when your organization requires both the
flexibility and immediacy that comes with online access to data and
applications, and the full functionality of traditional client software. The
answer:
smart client software.
This day-long tutorial focuses on developing and deploying smart client
applications.
Seating is limited. Full Conference Attendees
will receive Priority Seating for all Tutorials, all other seating is on a first
come basis.
