[PDC'05] Did some coding with "indigo" by jdanforth

Or WCF (Windows Communication Foundation) as it is now called, and it is very, very powerful. I sat down in the lab area where they have everything you need installed, complete with lab instructions, and tried out a few web services and such. Support...

[PDC'05] ”I think I may need a bathroom break. Is this possible?” by jdanforth

The keynote with Bill G and all the others was looooong, and they ran 25 minutes over time so we had to run to grab lunch and in 10 minutes I have to be at the "Indigo" session. The keynotes were pretty good, Bill showed a funny video and they demoed...

[PDC'05] Switched to another session by jdanforth

So, originally I had planned to attend the SOA pre-conf session today, but I had a look at the material and realized I've been through most of that already and much of it was pretty basic. So I decided to change to the session about building reusable...
