Presentation Abstract:
Groove is the creation of Ray Ozzie (Chief Software Architect @ Microsoft).
Groove is a highly-secure peer-to-peer collaborative platform that brings people
and applications together rapidly. Groove is part of the Microsoft Office Suite
and integrates with SharePoint. It is used within Government agencies and big
& small corporations. This session will give an overview of Groove and show
it from a .NET developer’s perspective - the use of the Groove API – GWS (Web
Services), CodePlex’s GWS wrapper, DataBridge & SharePoint integration.
All with plenty of examples & .NET code. The presentation will be on two
screens ('stereo') showing the peer-to-peer capabilities of Groove.
