[PDC'05] Last day at the conference
Best session yesterday was probably the web services interop session with Simon Guest and Kirill Gavrylyuk. To show reliable messages between .NET and Java, Simon hocked up a heart beat sensor (which sat on his finger) onto a .NET web service. Then he...

[PDC'05] Did some coding with "indigo"
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?”
Lol, maybe they had as much free coke, coffee, juice and ice cream at the top meeting Mr Bush was attending as we have here at the PDC'05 convention, but if that was the case I understand him. If not, it's another great quote in the never endling list...

Yesterday was the best day so far at the PDC. Most impressive things was first what will probably become 'ADO.NET 3.0' or something similar - LinkQ or DLinkQ, which is dynamic language integration (or something like that). Eric blogged about that . Next...

[PDC'05] .NET "providers" is really interesting
The concept of pluggable providers in .NET is really interesting and something I want to have a deeper look at when I get back home. The last session I was at today was about providers and how you could (quite easily) replace someting like the default...

[PDC'05] Hurry, hurry
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
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...

[PDC'05] And all went black...
If you've been in the "Big Hall" in the LA Convention Center, you know it IS pretty big. Imagine how dark it gets in there when there is a black out :) I was standing there writing a blog post when everything when black and silent. Power was out for almost...
