Talk #1: A Short Introduction to SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services
by Bill Gross

Abstract: This 30 minute segment will introduce you to the Reporting Services features of SQL Server 2005. We’ll cover topics such as Reporting Services prerequisites, designing simple reports, deploying reports, automated testing of reports, and when (and when not) to choose Reporting Services over other technologies. You’ll come away from the talk able to make informed decisions during future projects about whether or not to use Reporting Services.

Talk #2: .NET Object Mapping with NHibernate
by Benjamin Day

Abstract: Applications use objects. Databases don’t. That’s the “object-relational impedance mismatch” problem in a nutshell.  Why isn’t there an easy way for applications to use objects, but store their contents in a database with a minimum of effort required to transition between them? Enter NHibernate: an open-source, object-relational persistence framework that uses XML to map classes and properties (in your program) to tables and columns (in your database). Once you write the mappings, NHibernate can generate the database code and SQL necessary to save and retrieve your objects. In this session, Ben will discuss the fundamentals of using NHibernate with specific focus on NHibernate in an ASP.NET application and test-driven development.
