Internet Information Services 7.0 for ASP.NET Developers

We’ve just confirmed that our Glasgow event for the 9th December will be Andrew Westgarth on IIS7 for ASP.NET Developers.

Talk Description

One of the biggest and best new features of Windows Server 2008 and Windows Vista is Internet Information Server 7.0.  IIS 7.0 is the latest and most significant release of Microsoft’s Web Server. With this release comes a new extensibility model which gives developers more options than ever before, more diagnostic tools with which developers can debug and locate issues. During the session Andrew will investigate the new architecture, look at extending, configuring and developing for IIS7, take a look at its management user interface, and introduce the debugging and diagnostic facilities within IIS7.
