Subject: 
  Client/Server, N-Tier and SOA: Today and Tomorrow

Join Rocky and Steve in a discussion about the
present and future of Microsoft's client/server communication technologies,
including Remoting and WCF. Learn whether client/server and n-tier will be
replaced by SOA, or whether these architectures can co-exist. Find out how
these technologies and concepts apply to you as you build web, Windows
client/server and occasionally connected Windows smart client applications.
You'll learn about today's options, tomorrow's options and how you can help
position yourself to move forward over time.
