*Session Title *

	

*Abstract*


	

*Introduction to .NET*

	

The .NET framework represents a revolution in the way software is built 
and executed. In this session, we will give an overview of how software 
is developed, look at the tools and technologies used and see how they 
come together to produce software that can be run across multiple 
devices - either on the PC, the web, mobile phones or even the Xbox 360.

*New cool stuff !*
Silverlight, XNA and Microsoft Embedded technologies

	

In this session we will focus on demonstrating the power of software on 
three different platforms representing key next generation technologies 
of web 2.0, mobile and Microsoft embedded devices, and the games industry

*What's in it for me?*
Student Programmes, Internships and the Imagine Cup

	

This final session will look at how you can take advantage of 
Microsoft’s great competitions, programmes and recruitment drives.
