December MSDN Update, WSE 2.0 with Nick Wienholt The December MSDN update kicks off this week in Mebourne. WSE 2.0 represents a significant advance for web service developers.  By supporting the creation of web services the implement industry standards like WS-Security and WS- SecureConversation without delving deeply into code or configuration files, WSE cuts down the amount of time developers need to spend addressing plumbing issues, and allows them to concentrate on solving their business issues. This presentation will cover What are the WS-* specifications, and how do they make development simpler? Where does WSE2 fit into the Microsoft messaging product line, and when should I use it (and when should I avoid it)? Building a secure web service using WSE2. An overview of the other functionality that WSE offers. About the presenter Nick Wienholt is an independent Windows and .NET consultant based in Sydney.  He is the author of Maximizing .NET Performance from Apress, and specialises in system-level software architecture and development, with a particular focus of performance, security, interoperability and debugging.

I’m in Melbourne and this was a little short notice for me…but I want to make sure that I don’t miss the next one! :) Cheers, Matt Anonymous November 23, 2004 dunno mate - we leave it to the user groups to do the advertising. i saw this on will’s blog http://will.id.au/blog/archive/2004/11/22/mdnug-ug-meeting-nov-23 and on http://www.mdnug.org Anonymous November 23, 2004 Matty, it was mentioned at the end of the last Melbourne .NET User Group meeting that we’d be having Nick Wienholt in. And perhaps you should signup to the user group announcements list. That would mean you would get reminders prior to the event sent by Bill Chesnut. (The signup email address for the announcements mailing list is listed on the main mdnug website). The email announcement by Bill Chesnut was sent at sometime past 1am on the 20th. If you don’t want to subscribe to the announcements list, just keep a tab on either the mdnug homepage, or my blog (I usually post something prior to going to the event. If not the day before, then that day… Perhaps I should just post it as soon as Bill announces it.). Anonymous November 23, 2004 Heya Frank & William, Thanks for the info - William, I’ve subscribed to your blog and to the announcements list so hopefully I won’t miss any more events! I’ll also try and get down for some of the user group meetings. Cheers, Matt Additional resources Last updated on 2004-11-23
