Me and some guys from the Microsoft Student Community NTNU arranged an event at Gløshaugen campus today. 60 students from NTNU registered for the event, and almost every one showed up.
We invited Lars Bjørnar Listhaug from Abeo to come and talk about their experience in use of Microsoft and .NET technologies implementing solutions for their customers. Abeo is an It-consultant company with about 90 employees. With on office in Oslo and one in Trondheim. Abeo is an Microsoft Gold Partner and focus a lot on Microsoft Technologies.
Lars Bjørnar also gave us a demo of the Point Of Sale solution he have been working on as an Architect for the last two years. The solution is developed for Lindbak Retail and the team have spent over 15 000 hours on this project!! It was really cool.
Abeo sponsed the event and bought pizza and beverage for the students! High five Abeo!
I talked about developing solution on the Windows Vista Platform. I focused on the Windows Desktop Search Engine and the Windows RSS Platform.
By the way, I'm also going to give this presentation on NNUG 10.05.2007 18:15. Hope to see you there!
Here is the slides from the presentation:
