Info about the presentation "MS Office 2007: The Future is Here":

Microsoft Office 2007 has already proven itself to be the most radical redesign of Office since the toolbar. It will deliver massive amounts of value to end users, while creating even more value – and billable – for trainers, documenters, and developers. From the dramatically new user interface at the front end, to zipped, native XML open (!) file formats at the back end, live previews and integrated workflow via SharePoint in the middle, this isn't yet dad's office suite! There's so much more than can be described here. Get a jump on the new feel, features, and fun of Microsoft Office 2007, and test drive it for yourself!

Neman is the President of Industrial Strength Training, Consulting, and Development. He is a Microsoft Master Instructor and a Microsoft Office Specialist, certified at the Master Level for Office XP. Neman was the fourth person in Canada listed as such by Certiport, Microsoft’s certification authority, and in March 2006 received his Train the Trainer Level 2 Certificate from Peak Potentials. He has been independently training and consulting since 1997. He is a recognized authority in Word, Excel, Visio, Access, Crystal Reports, and automation of documentation and spreadsheets using Visual Basic for Applications.

Movie: Welcome to the New Microsoft Office User Interface
Time: 13:12 min

Microsoft Office Open XML Formats Overview
Published: September 13, 2005

By default, documents created in the next release of Microsoft Office products will be based on new, XML-based file formats. Distinct from the binary-based file format that has been a mainstay of past Microsoft Office releases, the new Office XML Formats are compact, robust file formats that enable better data integration between documents and back-end systems. An open, royalty-free file format specification maximizes interoperability in a heterogeneous environment, and enables any technology provider to integrate Microsoft Office documents into their solutions.
The new Office XML Formats introduce a number of benefits not only for developers and the solutions they build, but also for individual users and organizations of all sizes.

The Voice on the Net (VON) Canada 2006 Conference & Expo
April 3-5, 2006
at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre

mesh: Canada's Web 2.0 conference
May 15 & 16, 2006
at the Toronto MaRS Collaboration Centre

The Society of Internet Professionals' (SIP - sipgroup.org) participation in the spring VON expo in Toronto is not just about having a booth. It's about being part of the buzz that generates at the conference and around the Web 2.0.
Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is one of the leading protocols for VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol), and VoIP is not only about voice on the Net but it’s also about all other multimedia elements such as video, instant messaging, online games, and even virtual reality.

We at SIP would like you to join us in Toronto April 3-5, 2006 at Voice on the Net Canada 2006, the premiere tradeshow for VoIP and the rest of the IP Communications industry. Now in its 3rd year in Canada, VON sheds a spotlight on Telecom-Internet convergence and offers a clear window into the key aspects of next-generation of IP communications: technology, markets, regulation, emerging concerns, and so on.
Max Haroon, AIP
President SIP

VoIP security issues on rise
By: Tim Wilson(31 Mar 2006)
Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) is currently all the rage in IT circles, with many vendors falling over themselves to provide this new alternative to traditional phone calls. However, questions surrounding the security of VoIP, and what customers can and should do about it, have risen along with talk of its promise.
They were a hot topic at last month’s VON (Voice on the Net) Mexico show in Mexico City. VON Canada will take place in Toronto April 3-5.
The first thing to realize is that VoIP is a protocol, not a technology...and only 3.5 to 4 million SIP phones. Also, an application like Skype is peer-to-peer, which limits exposure." A peer-to-peer network provides significant security, but obviously...

.NET or QA Professionals: Brush up Your Skills

If you are in .NET environment or a QA specialist brush up your skills. According to Spherion, a leading staffing, recruiting and workforce solutions provider in North America two tech jobs in high demand these days are .NET (dot net) developers and quality assurance analysts.

Read a full article "5 Careers: Big Demand, Big Pay" written by Jeanne Sahadi, CNNMoney.com senior writer.

A shortage of skilled professionals in Technology arena:

Developers who are expert users of Microsoft's software programming language .NET can make between $75,000 and $85,000 a year in major cities. (See correction.) If they pursue a job at a company that seeks someone with a background in a given field (say, a firm looking for a .NET developer experienced in using software related to derivatives) they might snag a salary hike of 15 percent or more when they switch jobs.
Those who work in software quality management, meanwhile, might make $65,000 to $75,000 a year and be able to negotiate a 10 percent to 15 percent jump in pay if they switch jobs.

Correction: The original version of this article incorrectly stated that .NET developers can make between $75,000 and $85,000 in major cities "when they're starting out." In fact, that's the salary range they can command after a few years on the job during which they become expert in using .NET.
