Upcoming Design Previews...aka Shameless Self Promotion

Ok, we have some upcoming Design Previews and Architect Tutorials where we sit down with our customers and talk about the latest and greatest technologies in the data access arena. Think ODBC, JDBC, ADO.NET, SOA, Oracle, SQLServer, DB2, the entire gambit of data access (it's really fun). If you're interested in attending, just follow the links and you can sign up.

I'd be remiss to say that I'll be speaking at the design preview in Boston and so this should be filed under "Shameless self Promotion". The verbiage from the flyer we sent out for the Design Preview can be found below:

Here is the letter for the Architect Tutorials:

New development platforms and emerging architectural standards are changing the way we view data - causing us to challenge long held views on data access technologies and demanding the use of new XML and service-oriented capabilities. Things are not as they used to be, and the landscape continues to evolve. Making informed choices facilitates rapid development and deployment and enhances application capability, scalability, and performance. In this half day seminar, software architects will learn the state of the art in data access, mainframe integration, and XML query technology. We will provide the insight to navigate the complexities of data access technologies and the practical know-how to enhance application performance, flexibility and capability right away. DATES AND LOCATIONS Thursday, October 4th | St. Louis, MO - Hilton Frontenac Thursday, October 11th | Toronto, ON - Westin Harbour Castle Tuesday, October 16th | Irvine, CA - Hyatt Regency	brought to you by
