Earlier this week I presented three breakout sessions at the ASP.NET Connections conference in Orlando. Below are the slides / demos for each of the talks I gave: Introduction to "WPF/E" This talk provides a good introduction to "WPF/E" - which is the code-name for a new small, cross platform browser runtime that enables developers and designers to deliver richer, more interactive web experiences. I first blogged about "WPF/E" here . You can download the slides+demos from my WPF/E talk here (it includes a video sample - which makes the overall download ~10MB). The talk provides an overview of the core capabilities within the WPF/E CTPs today, and also demonstrates the core XAML and JavaScript programming model concepts you use. For more "WPF...
I corrected a few remaining errors in our O'Reilly shortcut on UpdatePanel (mainly references to the old Atlas codename). If you already bought it, you can download the new version for free. And if you haven't, what are you waiting for? ;) http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/atlasupc Read More...

At VSConnections in Vegas Eileen Rumwell had comedian Greg Proops interview some of us. It was off the cuff and fun. The conversation was about 10 minutes, but this 1 minute short is me getting completely railed. Amusing to say the least. Oh and if that isn't enough -- i found this post by Eileen too -- transcribed below so you can laugh at us. Do the Support People in India Know About the Helamonsters? What's a helamonster? Sand, steam, water powered pcs, and how to motivate the damn things. Is that a reinstall or just a reboot? And Brian is in marketing ... http://soapbox.msn.com/video.aspx?vid=7fe1d278-9301-42ca-8791-af6e0140bf27 Who was Maria Tall Chief Anyway? http://soapbox.msn.com/video.aspx?vid=a6c068de-a957-40cc-b02f-f1ed839e3aed...

Well, I knew that JavaScript was becoming more mainstream, but I didn't realize it had reached this level.. Wired Al Yankovic's new song White & Nerdy mentions JavaScript right along with Klingon ... What's next? Ajax in a country music song? How might that go?? ;-) Watch the Video ... The reference is at about 1:10 Read More...

Going N Tier w/WCF, Synchronizing data using Sync Services for ADO.NET and SQL Server Compact Edition In part 1 , I used the Visual Studio Orcas Sync Designer to configure and synchronize 3 lookup tables to be cached locally in SQL Server Compact Edition using the Sync Services for ADO.NET CTP. In part 2 of this screen cast, I take the cached lookup tables and split up the client and server sync components using WCF to glue them together. Read More...
