Exploring Indigo

Indigo is the code name for Microsoft's new foundation for distributed computing and service-oriented applications. Join us for a day long dive into Indigo using the Community Technology preview. This developer focused day provides an introduction to Indigo, describing what it is, how it works, and how it fits with existing technologies like ASP.NET web services, .NET Remoting, and Enterprise Services. While some familiarity with .NET is assumed, the target audience includes anybody who's interested in how software development will look in the coming service-oriented world.
