Sydney .NET User Group: "I feel the Love Again" - Adam Cogan

"I Feel the Love Again - Access is back vs. the power user new-comes, Lightswitch"

Fifteen years ago, Microsoft Access was the solution for allowing power users to create, update, and modify their database. Some even created monster solutions that ran their entire business. But, as you know, that created a booming industry that spun up to support these mammoth databases. In 2013, what's the best solution for bringing a database to the web so that users can maintain the records?

In this talk, Adam Cogan will look at:

• Access Services in SharePoint 2013
• Lightswitch - HTML 5
• ASP .NET
