New Features in SQL Server 2008 for Application Developers
Speaker: Whitney Weaver and Sergey Barskiy
As most of us have heard, SQL Server 2008 is due to be released in third quarter of this year. This marks another milestone in Microsoft's flagship database product. As with every release, Microsoft's engineers are introducing many new features that are designed to make application developers' lives easier, make them more productive and efficient. There are many more features that are oriented toward database administrators, which are meant to improve SQL Server in many areas, including performance, security and other aspects of the product. This talk will concentrate on features that a software developer is interested in. We will attempt to organize these features and show how new technology can be used to accomplish everyday tasks. We will highlight functionality that can make developers more productive and improve overall application performance at the same time.
