Sorry, but there are no more tags available to filter with.
It has been an eventful week, here in Barcelona. I have seen a lot of new things, and learned a lot over the last few days. Too bad it's over? Well, yes and no. Yes, because there is so much more to learn. No, because I will be flying back tomorrow and...
A very interesting session in which the presenters went beyond the Hype that Ajax has recently become. In a number of demos, they quickly showed what (not) to do when implementing ASP.Net Ajax in your web application. An example: If you have already seen...
Very interesting session on the new Report Builder application for Report Services. The tool is aimed at business users that need to design their own reports. It works an a model of the database, kind of like Business Objects. And with SP2 CTP2 for SQL...
This session proved that it's impossible for all sessions to be interesting. Now don't get me wrong here. There were a lot of delegates at this session, and for a lot of them it is probably interesting. But I was expecting something completely different...
Not all sessions I go to have to be about new stuff, now do they. So this session was interesting because they showed some items in .Net (and SQL 2005) that not everybody knows about. I have tried to remember a few I found interesting. You won't see many...
This session had an enormous WOW factor. I was really impressed with the way Ronnie Saurenmann from Microsoft Schweiz GmbH used WPF to build an airport monitoring system. The basis was a completely digitized map from a GIS system which was translated...
Greetings from a warm and sunny Barcelona. Although that warm and sunny is completely useless as I'm inside a conference center :-( Ever had that feeling that there's just too much information coming at you? It is dawning on me now. Mind you, I love all...
What promised to be a session where proven practices for implementing services would be presented, turned out to be more of a session about the impact of migrating from ASMX webservices to WCF webservices. Migrating ASMX to WCF is not that difficult....
This session provided me with some more background on Workflow Foundation or WF. WF is a combination of a workflow engine and a rules engine. The WF engine uses the rules engine to store conditions and such. The rules engine itself can run separate from...
This session, by Shy Cohen was about managing services created with WCF. WCF offers a lot of options out-of-the-box to monitor what is happening with the services you created and deployed. WCF is highly configurable and that includes how to setup monitoring...
A very interesting session about the garbage collector and how to make it work more efficient. Let's first recapture some stuff that will be coming the next version of the CLR. At this moment, you only have the option to call GC.Collect to force the garbage...
This session offered some more insight into the WPF part of .Net Framework 3.0. It did not have many demos but it did offer a good impression of what WPF can and cannot do. First of all, the session clearly showed that XAML can be hosted in Windows Forms...
I thought it would be difficult to summarize the first day. But I have seen a pattern emerging today while I was attending the sessions on .Net Framework 3.0. The focus on .Net Framework 3.0 seems to have been on making our work as developers easier and...
The shape if things to come. That's a brief description of what Anders Hejlsberg just showed is in this first session today. Anders Hejlsberg is the chief designer of the C# language and gave a great presentation on the new features that await us in C#...
The 4th session I attended today was presented by Shy Cohen. Shy Cohen works on the communications team and as such has been involved in the development of what is now called Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) and Windows Workflow Foundation (WF)...
