MSDN Dev Chat on Zero Touch Deployment
Next Wednesday (Nov 24th), Robi Khan and I will be doing a DevChat "Zero Touch Deployment"
In October 2004, Databeacon launched the Databeacon Smart Client family of products. These products use no-touch deployment to provide web reporting and data analysis capabilities to Windows PC users enabled with the .NET Framework. Join the two chief developers responsible for this project as they outline the technical strategies, obstacles and actions taken in bringing one of the first no-touch commercial software products to market. This session will focus on no-touch deployment and integration with Microsoft Office products.
Update: The dev chat has happened if you want to see the recording visit: http://www.placeware.com/cc/lmevents/view?id=msft112404my&pw=QQXK77
Apparently the recording will be online for another year (Until Nov. 24/05). If you have any questions/feedback post them in the comments and I will address them in future blog postings. In addition I will tidy up my answers to the Q/A - I'm not a fast typist and most of answers could do with some editing.
Finally Robi and I will be another dev chat on February 17th - based on the feedback so far - we will make the next one a bit more hands on. To sign up visit: http://www.microsoft.com/canada/events/event_details.aspx?event_id=1032265808
