9.12.2005 Eval ? first day at PDC  I?ve been to a PDC Pre-conference session on ASP.NET 2.0 today. So how was it? It started out really well, with my favourite writer on .NET Frtiz Onion presenting some of the new stuff while making hilarious jokes on the marketing side of .NET. That was good, but unfortunately it kept being like that. I left about one-and-a-half our before it ended, because I thought it was a waste of time. It doesn?t necessarily mean that it was a bad session ? it was just not what I expected at PDC. It was really basic level, showing of nifty drag-and-drop features and all of the new controls, but almost any demo or slide ended up with ??so as you can see, this is pretty cool but might not aimed for you guys?. Oh, but if it isn?t aimed for you guys, maybe it was a better idea to show some more hard-code stuff. I wasn?t alone ? I spoke to a guy from Saxo bank who felt the same. But he attended the SQL Server 2005 session the day before which had been stunning. Anyway ? there's still a lot of great new features in asp.net 2.0, with the new compilation model, the new website-project structure and the improved IDE (vs.net2005) as some of the best stuff. The real stuff starts tomorrow and I?m very excited. Loads of great sessions, skilled people and fun stuff going on between it all. I was very sceptic about attending a large conference, but if umbraco ever grows and I someday will hire people, I?d definitely make sure that people would get the opportunity to attend stuff like this. Tomorrow it?s about WinFX, Writing a dynamic language compiler, developing advanced ASP.NET server controls, Programming with Concurrency (Concepts, Patterns and Best Practices), more Avalon, IE7 and Developing advanced custom providers for Membership and rolemanager in ASP.NET 2.0. And oh ? then it all starts with a little Bill G. pep-talk. In the evening Microsoft Denmark arranges a special event for Danish attendances and it?ll be fun to hang out with Guidmaster, .Henrik and Erik Dibbern. 0 Comment(s)...
