Project Management Ain't for Sissies
By: Don Bakke
Description: Let's face it. Programmers would rather write code than write documents. It's okay, you are among friends. Just admit it. Commenting code, creating help manuals, and preparing proposals is not the type of activity that tempts you to stay up long past midnight when you ought to be getting long overdue beauty rest. The same can be said for project management. It is just one of those necessary "evils" that every programmer should be doing, but most of us give this benign neglect. Fortunately, there are various online tools, both free and low cost, that can greatly simplify this chore, allowing programmers to spend more time writing code. In this presentation, we will demonstrate several resources that SRP uses to manage projects, handle technical support tickets, and collaborate on assignments. These inexpensive tools can be used by any sized development shop to improve the quality of their work and present a highly professional operation to their clients.
OI Integration with Outlook
By: Kevin Fournier
Description: Microsoft Office integration is not just desirable, it's downright expected these days. This session will demonstrate how to interact with Outlook using OLE Automation so your application can programmatically manipulate email, appointments, or contacts. Attendees will learn how to employ these techniques in their own applications and, as a result, will acquire enough skill to explore interaction with other Office products such as Word or Excel.
