An exclusive partnership with IDesign is set up to bring the best training to Belgium. IDesign’s Master Classes are usually 5 days of hands-on training, and are the world’s most intensive, most comprehensive .NET training classes. There is simply no substitute for being trained by the world's leading experts in the subject, and the IDesign architects offer a profound insight on the technology and its applications. The material presented goes well beyond anything that can be found using conventional training sources often presenting IDesign's original techniques and breakthroughs. In addition to the frontal presentations, the classes use lab exercise and numerous conceptual demos and original tools and utilities. The demos are useful not only in training but afterwards, serving as a starting point for new projects, and as a rich reference and samples resource. |

ALM with Visual Studio 2010
Pieter Gheysens (Sparkles)
Releasing software applications into a production environment isn’t anymore all about writing code, but much more. A lot of different stakeholders (business analyst, architect, developer, tester, database administrator, IT professional, …) are now closely involved in the software development process and need integrated tools to collaborate. Today, much of application development remains isolated throughout the enterprise, leading to decreased productivity and lengthy product development cycles. With Visual Studio 2010 and Team Foundation Server 2010, Microsoft is taking the next step forward in giving individuals and development organizations an advanced solution that enables them to integrate effectively and build and deliver high-quality applications. This includes new capabilities that make it easier for all contributors on the software team to participate throughout the life cycle — from the core developers and testers to the wider team of project managers, designers and business analysts.

Architect's Master Class
Juval Löwy (IDesign)
While many developers and managers have a clear idea regarding the characteristics and practices, and corresponding set of responsibilities of their own roles, the picture is often vague when it comes to software architects. What is the single most important task facing the software architect? What is the division of labor and responsibilities between the architect and the project manager? How much the architecture should be tied in to the particulars of the underlying technology used, or for that matter, for the specifics of the projects? What are the necessary skills and analysis tools employed by an architect? How do you validate the design before construction? How do methodologies such as service-orientation affect the design and development process? What are software architecture best practices, guidelines and pitfalls? How do you go about designing world-class systems? How do you make the transition from abstract design patterns and concepts to concrete development decisions? The class answers the above questions using a combination of frontal lecture and interactive and accelerated design sessions. Conducted in the style of a classic Master Class, the IDesign architect will provide the common foundation of modern service-oriented applications required by software architects.
