WHO:     Scott Swigert

TOPIC:   What's So Smart About Smart Client?
         In this presentation, Scott will examine design criteria that
         factor in to choosing a Web or Smart Client implementation. You
         will then see how technologies like the Smart Client Offline
         Application Block, and the Application Updater Block combine to
         provide Smart Client functionality today. The presentation will
         finish with a look into the future at the compelling Smart Client
         functionality that Visual Studio 2005 will provide.

         Scott spends his time consulting, authoring, and speaking about the
         convergence of current and emerging technologies. He believes this
         is partially a result of having worked with a very wide range of
         technologies over his career. Beginning with Commodore 64
         programming at the age of 12, then writing hardware diagnostics for
         UNIX systems in C++, moving into windows desktop, Web, and
         component development, and finally through XML, .NET, Web service,
         development, he has seen how technology evolves over time. Today,
         he focuses on helping organizations get the most out of today's
         technology, and prepare to leverage emerging technology as a way to
         be more competitive.

Plan to be there and enjoy the presentation. We'll be looking for you!
