Finally my video didn’t make it for the ShowOff contest at the PDC 2008. Here is the answer I’ve got:
I wanted to thank you again for your ShowOff entry. Unfortunately, due to the overwhelming response to ShowOff, we had to make some hard decisions about which entries we would be able to show during the event. We really liked your video, but unfortunately it didn't make it into our final cut this year.
So here the video I sent in which I demonstrate some of the possibilities of the Tech Head Brothers authoring tool based on Word 2007 and Open XML!
We finally arrived in Los Angeles, Sébastien Ros and myself after quite a trip.
We left Mulhouse (East of France) at 7:AM on Saturday direction Paris, then Paris direction Seattle and finally Los Angeles.
We had a Mexican diner, I love Mexican food, with Sébastien at Loteria Grill – Hollywood. There website sucks but the place is good and the food was excellent.
We were 25 hours up and running and I am somehow tired. The first night at The hotel Roosevelet on Hollywood Boulevard was awful with two neighbors rooms making such a noise from 11PM to 2 AM finished by a big fight in the hotel corridor on the 8th floor. Unbelievable!!!
I couldn’t make any picture during the flight from Paris to Seattle, but we saw some amazing scene on top of Iceland and Canada!
Here a re some pictures of the trip from Seattle to Los Angeles with Alaska Airlines!

You might watch my PDC 2008 pictures on flickr.
I finished a first selection of my sessions!
The main topic for me will be Cloud Computing and Live Mesh. With some WF 4.0, WCF 4.0 and Dublin and for sure some more web stuff like Silverlight, ASP.NET MVC.
I have an application participating to the Show Off Contest! So I hope to meet some of you there:
Monday, October 27
8:30pm–10:00pm
403AB
Finally I will attend “Agile Perspectives, Industry and Microsoft” Presenter(s): Mary Poppendieck, Grigori Melnik on Sunday!
I enjoy reading Mary’s book “Implementing Lean Software Development: From Concept to Cash” with some more pages to read during the long flight!
When I attend such an event like Tech Ed or PDC I always select two sessions per time slot, in case one is full then I know on which one I want to go, so don’t be surprise!

See you there!
What a week just before Microsoft PDC 2008! After Silverlight 2 release it is the turn of ASP.NET Framework to be released in Beta.
The ASP.NET MVC Beta release provides a new Model-View-Controller (MVC) framework on top of the existing ASP.NET 3.5 runtime. This means that developers can take advantage of the MVC design patterns to create their Web Applications which includes the ability to achieve and maintain a clear separation of concerns (the UI or view from the business and application logic and backend data), as well as facilitate test driven development (TDD). The ASP.NET MVC framework defines a specific pattern to the Web Application folder structure and provides a controller base-class to handle and process requests for “actions”. Developers can take advantage of the specific Visual Studio 2008 MVC templates within this release to create their Web applications, which includes the ability to select a specific Unit Test structure to accompany their Web Application development.
The MVC framework is fully extensible at all points, allowing developers to create sophisticated structures that meet their needs, including for example Dependency Injection (DI) techniques, new view rendering engines or specialized controllers.
As the ASP.NET MVC framework is built on ASP.NET 3.5, developers can take advantage of many existing ASP.NET 3.5 features, such as localization, authorization, Profile etc.
You can download this new version on the following page, and I recommend you to visit the ASP.NET MVC website.
