Mix07 (
RSS)
I am super excited to be headed to Boston in a couple of weeks for ReMix Boston... I have heard from many folks that wish that could have made it to Vegas, but could not... In addition, I know that folks are hungry to see what is new in the web world now that Silverlight 1.0 is launched. I am lucky enough to be doing the keynote... Among other things, I am happy to Miguel de Icaza come up on stage with me and demo some of the cool new MoonLight work (Silverlight on Linux). There are also a bunch of other very cool breakout sessions given by some of the best speakers in the industry.. Check out all the great information and sign up: http://www.remix07boston.com/ Also be sure to check out the discount code that Bob posted . Read More...
Steve Marx apparently never gets tired of writing video centric web sites... he has done it again and it is very cool. I am impressed with the fact that there is so few lines of code (in fact there is more CSS markup than code).. this is due to the simplicity that Linq, ASP.NET 3.5 and Silverlight brings to the developers. Here is the the code and a screen cast . Steve uses a bunch of new stuff! Searching and paging via ListView, DataPager, and LinqDataSource (all new ASP.NET controls with .NET 3.5). Video player via the Media control in the ASP.NET Futures July CTP (uses Silverlight 1.0 RC). Popup biographies and "more/less" collapsible details via the new .NET 3.5-compatible drop of the AJAX Control Toolkit. Back/forward buttons support via...

Sorry for being so quiet lately, things have been a little nutty, but in a good way. We've been pretty heads down working on all kinds of fun stuff, the next version of IE, the next version of Expression Web and getting ready to launch Visual Studio 2008. I'm really excited to see that one ship. I worked on it for almost a year before I transitioned to this role, and I know almost all the folks on the team, and am amazed at what they've pulled off! I just got an email from Mariet, who was the primary coordinator of the ReMIX sessions in Europe this spring. All of the sessions in Amsterdam were video taped, and are now available online! So if you didn't make it to MIX or ReMIX, you can see some of the sessions, myself included on the ReMIX website...
What a great couple of weeks, and it's not over yet! In the last two weeks, I've been to Orlando, Budapest, and Amsterdam, and I'm headed off to Zurich on Sunday. I've got some down time today and tomorrow before two more full days in Zurich. I've learned a lot, seen some fantastic things, and met some really great people. TechEd 2007 - Orlando I started TechEd off in Orlando a little early as some of my friends were going to be down there for a few parties and other events that were going on so I figured I'd join them. It was a great way to start the trip and great to see my friends, and meet some new folks. Kind of crazy, and a lot of fun. TechEd itself was pretty great. We got to meet lots of cool folks, and the presentations that the IE...
Check out your referral logs.. notice a pattern? If your logs are like mine, a HUGE percentage of your hits are coming through a search engine (Google, Yahoo, MSN)... Here is 3 minutes worth of referral logs from my blog... In a world where a good percentage of your content is dynamically created and displayed in Ajax or Silverlight, how can you enable search engines to find your data? Well, a bunch of folks across the web have been doing some thinking on this. Jonathan Hawkins recently did a session at mix on the topic and posted some thoughts. Nikhil also discussed the issue in his talk at mix and posted some interesting techniques as well. ASP.NET Futures CTP has features to enable you to have multiple code driven dynamic sitemaps. This can...
FYI -- I just posted the demo code for my Mix07 talk ... It uses VS Orcas Beta1 , Silverlight 1.0 Beta and the ASP.NET "Futures" . I'd love to have feedback and comments! MySilverlightTV.zip [24MB] -- Without example videos mySilverlightTV(WithVideos) [93MB] - With example videos Oh, and here is the video , slides , writeup , on line demo and demo steps . Thanks again to Steve Marx for LOTS of support on the development and Corrina for the excellent design work. Enjoy! Read More...
I am super excighted about the ASP.NET Futures release we did recently. I think it shows off some cool new thinking in the ASP.NET space, for Ajax applications and of course Silverlight support. I demoed much of this stuff as part of my Mix talk , but I wanted to highlight a few here for ASP.NET AJAX New functionality includes CSS selector APIs, navigation history support (Back button support), a utility for extracting resources from assemblies, and more. Check out my mix talk for some cool stuff on back button support. Silverlight Controls for ASP.NET Enables the ability to include media (video, audio) vector graphics, and animations by using familiar and powerful ASP.NET server controls. This is very cool because it enable server side databinding...
With MIX07 just behind us, there are some fun events coming up in Europe, Asia and else where in the world. REMIX 07 is an opportunity to for people who didn't or couldn't make it to Vegas to see some of the great sessions and events that took place at MIX. But what I like about reMIX is that I get to do a couple of the sessions, and maybe even a keynote. The sessions are still being locked down, but there is a live site with a bunch of the information at http://www.microsoft.com/emea/msdn/visitremix/inde... I'm currently planning on heading to: Budapest, Hungary Amsterdam, Netherlands Zurich, Switzerland I'm also heading to Seville at the end of June for serEstandar.es . The site is in Spanish, which I can't really read, but I can tell you...
