Back from TechEd
I'm back from TechEd in Inbox hell. This year content was a little lighter then usual and not much was announced, however, good stuff cam out of the conference.
Here's my best of TechEd 2005:
People and networking
Scott Hanselman recording a series of 10 minutes presentations named Groktalks by Regional Directors
www.groktalk.net
VSTO 2005: can create Outlook Add-ins in managed code.
Packaging Design and Architecture Guidance for Visual Studio
GAT = Guidance Automation Toolkit
GAX = Guidance Automation eXtensions
A lightweight Visual Studio extensibility mechanism

System.Transactions
Objects can be transactional (way cool)
I did a presentation on Monday at the Montreal Visual Studio User Group about TechEd along with Mario Cardinal, Éric Côté and Étienne Tremblay. We had a blast. We also handed out swag that we collected in Orlando. What's fun is that we had the same number of items then people attending thatevening so everyone went home with a little something from TechEd.
