Why do you want this job? Why should I hire you? How would you deal with a situation
where they ask you to do something in a certain way and you thought you knew a more
efficient way. This session helps trigger our natural abilities that go unused for
years. Once you discover that these are already part of you (us), you will be able
to apply them to advance your interview skills, career, relationships and your life.

to talk to your manager about your career and actually make it happen...</a>
          </b>
        </p>
        <p>
This career discussion will help you with the following questions and suggest some
career changing ideas that can put you in the right position to compete and meet your
aspirations. When I start my job, how do I initiate a conversation about my future?
Is this normal, and when do I do this? I am relatively new and I work from home—how
do I obtain guidance to move my career forward? How do I use social networks to increase
my chances of moving my career and professional relationships forward? How do I get
others to recognize my leadership skills and contributions?. Everyone around us is
like a recruiter. Managers, supervisors and executives are always looking for that
special individual who can bring leadership into the organization, regardless if you
are inside or outside the company. Everything we do on daily basis counts and matters,
when studies show that close to 35% of resumes contain inaccuracies, screening becomes
difficult. We need to be able to back up the resume with explanations of how our skills
were applied and accomplishments achieved. All of this can be learned and applied
for success. These and many more questions are explored with real tips on how you
can write a great resume, move your career and your life in a positive direction.

        </p>
        <p>
The implications of collaborative innovation are many—the most important being its
potential to reshape not just individual enterprises, but whole industries, perhaps
even entire economies. Hector believes in investing in innovation in good and bad
times. This session covers the alignment of business and technology to create a flexible
environment that fosters innovation without permission. How do we get the most out
of your employees and how does the employee get the most out of management. Its a
WIN-WIN proposition. This session will provide insights on how to unlock all of the
assets that are hidden in an organization. i.e., technical, communications, services,
experiences, and most important, the employees capabilities and desires. Unlocking
thought leadership and innovation is at the heart of this presentation.

        <p>
Your capacity for change and growth will determine your full potential. The global
landscape and a new language of business is now a key differentiator and a competitive
weapon you can use to advance your career. The individuals who understand the new
global requirements for aligning business and technology and think like "T"
thinkers increase their opportunities for job advancement and success. The implications
of collaborative innovation are many, the most important being its potential to reshape
not just individual enterprises, but whole industries, perhaps even entire economies.
Hector believes that you need to invest in yourself in good and bad times. What can
you do now to get ready to compete in these challenging economic times? What is the
new vocabulary that needs to be part of your resume. You need to have compelling reasons
on why you are the right candidate. The resume is your infomercial to landing a job
or a promotion. This session will help you unlock your inner capabilities to manifest
your career and personal desires/aspirations. It will also provide you with tactics
and strategies to increase your chances for career advancement by understanding the
new language of business and having your resume reflected.

We’ll cover the basics from Silverlight 2, but focus primarily on the new announcements

The purpose of the INETA Community Champion Award program is to recognize individuals
with the highest levels of contributions. Those exceptional leaders and volunteers
who devote innumerable hours towards hosting user group meetings, organizing Code
Camps and special events, mentoring and supporting their members, publishing newsletters,
updating web sites, and the list goes on and on. The Community Champion program provides
INETA with an opportunity to showcase the efforts of our user group communities as
a whole as well as provide individual recognition. Recognition that we hope will open
doors to networking opportunities, potential sponsors, future employers or partnerships.
</p>
        <p>
Special thanks to everyone who took the time and energy to participate in this program.
Keep contributing to your local developer community and submit your activities through
the Champs program. This is your chance to show the world what community leadership
is all about and to gain some of the recognition that you deserve! For additional
information and to view past winners, please go to <a href="http://www.ineta.org/Champions/CommunityChampionInfo.aspx">Community
Champions Award section</a> of the INETA web site.

<p><b></b></p><p><b>Title:</b><b>Introduction to dependency injection with Microsoft Enterprise Library
Unity Application Block</b></p><p><b>Abstract:</b></p><p>
This session will introduce the Microsoft Enterprise Library Unity Application Block
- a lightweight, extensible dependency injection container with support for constructor,
property, and method call injection. Dependency injection is a popular software engineering
technique that supports loosely-coupled design and facilitates application testability
and maintainability. We’ll discuss the common scenarios and demonstrate how Unity
addresses them in various contexts - from a standalone smart client application to
a web application and service.

Note: This session will run from 10AM to 11AM PST.
