Viva Las Vegas

Dennis van der Stelt — Sun, 29 Apr 2007 12:56:13 GMT

So I arrived... Yesterday the plane landed in Las Vegas and the first thing that I saw were... slotmachines! This is Vegas of course.

I'm staying in The Venetian and the hotel is gorgeous. After publishing this, I'll start taking some pictures and publish them on Flickr. You can already see some pictures from my trip to Las Vegas.

This morning I attended an EMEA meeting where they gave away some info that wasn't really useful. They announced that the Expression sweet is officially released tomorrow, but that's not really unexpected, as every attendee gets its own copy. I'll probably be visiting some brainstorm session later today. I think I'll head to bed early, as I'm still suffering from not sleeping for over 24 hours and of course the jetlag.

For all Dutch readers, you can also see a report of my trip to MIX07 and Las Vegas at my personal weblog.

MIX'07

I'll be attending MIX'07 in Las Vegas this year as well as the parallel MDEC conference for Mobile development. One of my goals for this year is to do more with ASP.NET so Alex isn't the only one with all the knowledge ;-)

Some fun things are:

Vegas! Need I say more?!
A lot on ASP.NET, Ajax and WPF/E. I haven't looked into Ajax and WPF/e much yet, so I should learn a lot here.
I'm particularly interested in the success stories behind really large websites.
Rumors that new stuff will be presented at MIX'07, for example still-secret "Technology X"
I'll stay at the Venetian, a great hotel with over 4000 rooms, 70 shops and multiple other facilities. Oh, and a casino as well ;-)
Windows Vista Ultimate and Expression Studio free for all registrants
ASP.NET and PHP head-to-head.
I'll be attending this conversation as I've never looked at PHP and I'm interested on where the discussion will lead to. I'm hoping for both a religious discussion (for the fun) as a serious discussion on pros and cons of both.
Pussycat dolls at Pure? I'm might take a look, but I'm not sure I'm really into that...

I'll keep you informed right here. For all Dutch readers, I'll try and post some stories at my personal weblog.
