Welcome to BASTA! the European conference on .NET technology.
The BASTA! is well known for its program of expert speakers - there's hardly a conference in Europe that can boast as many expert speakers as BASTA! We also put a special focus on sessions and workshops, to provide delegates with hands-on experience: useful programming tips, insights into new technologies, and the invaluable experience of networking and sharing ideas with other experts. BASTA! sets out to inspire attendees.
It's easy to understand why .NET is so popular. There's no other platform that offers developers so many options: desktop, mobile applications, cloud computing. Anything is possible - because .NET is everywhere!
ASP.NET, AJAX and Silverlight, have brought Web 2.0 to .NET; and the Compact Framework and the Micro Framework, means we are now seeing .NET crop up on all possible gadgets! There's even a .NET answer for the world of computer game programming: XNA. And, completing the picture, is SQL Sever Modeling: SOA is no longer a foreign concept in the Microsoft world.
But BASTA! is not only .NET. We also run SQLCON, the conference on SQL Server, and ShareConnect, the conference on all things Sharepoint. We'd like to invite you on an exciting trip through the world of .NET technologies - we look forward to meeting you!
