Abstract

In the IT world, SOAP isn’t used for taking baths, nor is AJAX used for cleaning toilets. Come learn about the ways in which Microsoft will help you get a grasp around all the latest technologies and give you an edge over other students. In this session, we’ll cover the Imagine Cup competition, events tailored specifically for graduating students, and how you can find out about and get your hands on the latest Microsoft technologies (expect demos!). This session will also introduce the Microsoft Student Partners Program, a new global program tailored especially for students.
