Everything Just Changed: Office 2007 and the Vista Operating System

Beginning a technology wave that will define the digital decade. Get a front row seat to view Microsoft's eagerly awaited new version of the Windows operating system and the new Office 2007 suite. The new Office no longer has menus or toolbars! Come see hundreds of changes that will affect you and your students. Get a demonstration of how both of these new programs work and find out what upgrades you will need to address now in order to prepare for the future. Also see a sneak peek of the new programs in the Office 2007 suite such as Groove and Designer.

Visual Basic 2005: Developing Cell Phone, PDA, Web, and Office Applications

Come check out the totally new developer's environment that includes new features such as 50 new tools, new cell phone simulators, Sound Players, Flow Layout Tools, Masked Text Boxes, and Code Snippet Tools. Visual Basic 2005 will attract more than the traditional hard core programming student and appeal to a broader market including web designing students, business students, and beginning programming students who want to make powerful programs with reduced development time. Exciting new ways to program your Office applications using Visual Studio Tools for Office are now available in VB 2005. See a live demo of all these new changes and see new ways to teach programming!
