.NET Static Code Analysis
Location: Franz Hall, Room 018
Static code analysis is a way to test your code without actually running it. It can detect errors that often times don't show up until the application is running at your customer's site. It also shows where your code doesn't follow best practices. In this session, you will learn how to manually perform static code analysis with FxCop and StyleCop and how to add these tools into a Continuous Integration process so the code analysis is performed automatically.
Comparing Web Video Technologies, from Flash to HTML5 to Silverlight

Topics include codec decisions (AVC/H.264, Theora, and others), licensing, deployment scenarios (progressive download, adaptive streaming, and more). While Robert is a full-time consultant specializing with Flash-based solutions, more and more of his work is encompassing a broader range of online video technologies. Robert's discussion starts with his recent blog post, http://tinyurl.com/whyflash.
Consuming RESTful Web Services on the iPhone
Location: Shiley Hall, Room 301
A number of popular libraries simplify the task of communicating with a RESTful web service in Objective-C on the iPhone.
