On the way back from Mix 09
AT&T have kindly opened up their internet for the weekend (at Philly airport) which gives me a good opportunity to update my blog a little bit.
This week I popped over to Las Vegas for the Microsoft Mix 09 conference. A conference which puts together developers and designers and brings them to one. I won't go into details on the Keynotes or Sessions at this point cause I do eventually have a plane to catch but I'll follow up with a longer blog post about the sessions I saw and what I thought of them. It was really good to meet a few guys there and most of which is down to the style of the conference which is very open and free.
I managed to get a little bit of spare time (there was plenty of after conference events to attend with Mix attendees) to head to downtown Las Vegas "The Old Vegas". It was quite a big difference to the main strip - not too busy. A little weirder to the main strip (yeah, it's possible) and seems much more locals in the casion than tourists. I took a few photos so I'll have to put them up when I get back. I know Phil has a good few photos so I'll have to grab them from him when I get the chance too.
I'm already looking forward to Mix 10 on 15th - 17th March at Mandalay Bay in Vegas!

Oxite - The ASP.NET MVC CMS
The guys over at Channel 9 have created the first blogging engine/content management system (CMS) based on the open source ASP.NET MVC framework. It's named Oxite and is avaliable to download now (in a Alpha version) on the Codeplex website. The first site that's built with it? Mix Online. Nice!

DDD7 Grok Talk - Open Source and Microsoft
This weekend I attended DDD7, a free community conference held at the Microsoft Reading Campus. I presented a short Grok talk during the lunch hour on Open Source and Microsoft. Since the event didn't seem to have a internet connectivity, I used Dom Green's laptop to allow me to prepare for it. After downloading Firefox on the machine, something was blocking it access to the web so I had to stick with IE8 *shudder*. To make sure all the sites were big and clear on the screens, I made sure I had put up the size of the text on the screen... only to find out that when I plugged it into the display - it automatically resized the screen resolution leaving me with horrible big web pages... for every tab I had open... anyway, enough of the excuses and on with the links. Here's a list of the links that I showed:
- Lightmaker: The company I work for... (Lightmaker Manchester).
- Codeplex: Microsoft's Open Source Project Repository.
- ASP.NET on Codeplex: For out of bound ASP.NET releases (ASP.NET MVC, Dynamic Data, Dynamic Data + MVC etc).
- IronRuby: The main site for the IronRuby project.
- IronRuby Source: IronRuby source on RubyForge.
- jQuery Intellisense Support: There's a clue in the title.
- jQuery Documentation: A great place to find out how to really utilise the power of jQuery!
- IronPython: The main Codeplex site for IronPython.
- jQuery Form Validator Plugin: Simple but effective.
- Lightmaker Manchester Blog: Our Manchester Company Blog

WebForm Gripe - Getting LinkButton to work without Javascript.
WebForms is a sort of love/hate thing for me. There are some things I love about WebForms and then there's quite a few things that really cause me a lot of pain. Sadly, the ones that cause me a lot of pain are the ones that stand out. I might turn these into a little series - depending on how many of these gripes show up and how many I can remember! Most of these gripes are probably me just not understanding WebForms correctly, I'm willing to learn so any pointers in the right direction would be good.
