Abstract

We live in a digital world that is filled with more information, more things to do, and more ways to communicate with others than ever before Windows Vista introduces breakthroughs in user experience, security and reliability, enabling you to build applications that bring clarity to the user's complex world of information.

Windows Vista™ (formerly Windows code name "Longhorn") is a substantial advance in Windows, with significant innovations in the developer platform. Windows Vista makes it easier than ever before to build applications that are more secure, reliable, and manageable. Windows Vista also enables developers and designers to create user-experience breakthroughs that improve usability and enable greater relevance to the work users do.

This technical session with demonstrations will aim to show how to

• take advantage of exciting new ways to build applications with graphically-rich user experiences that really showcase your work.
• build secure applications by using features such as User Account Protection and code access security. Build applications with minimum privileges that reduce risk and allow users to maintain a secure Windows environment.
• tap into the power of advanced Web services and peer-to-peer technologies to connect applications that support users working from the office, from home or on the road.
• enable users to find information easier, by integrating documents and data generated by your applications into the search and organize experience.
• use new capabilities to detect network and power state. Work with files from nearly anywhere, and take advantage of the power and technology of cool new mobile devices.
