OttawaSQL.net April 16th Event: Use MS  Sync. Framework to synchronize your off line data with SQL Server

The OttawaSQL.net group will be having an event on April 16th.  Local SQL Server MVP Jean-Rene Roy will be presenting a session on SQL Server and the Microsoft Sync. Framework.  Look for registration information to be posted very soon:

Microsoft Sync Framework is a comprehensive synchronization platform that enables collaboration and offline access for applications, services and devices. It features technologies and tools that enable roaming, sharing, and taking data offline. Using Microsoft Sync Framework, developers can build sync ecosystems that integrate any application, with any data from any store using any protocol over any network. 

In this presentation I will introduce you to this new platform and we will take a look at how it’s works and how you can integrate this in your applications and SQL Server 2005/2008.
