Event Description:	The Northwest Arkansas .NET User Group will meet from 5:30 to 8:00 PM Nov. 10th at Jones Center 922 East Emma Avenue Springdale, AR 72764 Room 222 Dallas). Speaker : Dennis Palmer Topic: "XML is Everywhere!" These days it's getting rare to find a software application that does not use some form of XML. It's everywhere! Remember ages ago (back in 2001) when you wrote your xml parser? Hopefully you 've been using XPath and the .NET classes inside the System.XML like XmlDocument and XmlNode for the last few years. But that's so 2003. With the 3.5 release of the .NET Framework and Visual Studio 2008, there is a whole new way of working with XML.. Whether you're creating, editing or consuming XML, you need to know LINQ to XML and the XML Literals within Visual Basic. But don't take my work for it! Kathleen Dollard on Hanselminutes show #152 said, "If you code in any language and do not understand XML Literals in VB9, you're selling yourself short. Go learn about it... It's a really powerful mechanism." We'll cover LINQ to XML, how to enable XML Intellisense, and using VB XML Literals for dynamically generating XML. Demos will include: -Data binding with LINQ to XML queries from the Twitter API. -Windows Installer XML (WiX), which was the first Open Source project to come out of Microsoft. -XML Literals View Engine for ASP.NET MVC. Please indicate if you will be attending, this will help with name badge creation, speed up checkin, and make sure we have enough food for everyone. This is a free event.
