MSDN/NNUG tour hit Oslo today

The combined NNUG / MSDN tour hit Oslo today and it was a blast! The headline was Yukon, Whidbey & Indigo! “-What is HOT? What is NOT?”.

400 people got to hear three speakers from the user group (Trond Brande, Arne Jørgensen and myself) in addition to Stein Møllerhaug from security company Syamantec and two people representing Accenture talking about the AltInn project which is probably the largest .NET project in Norway today. I didn’t get to see all sessions but the feedback from the people I talked to was very good.

My own session on Whidbey was great fun. A few hickups but that must be expected using Alpha code! I tried to position where Whidbey stands today, focused on Windows Forms and ASP.NET and did several demos. My presentation (in Norwegian) is available on the download area of the user group (requires registration).

Only one more stop on the tour, Stavanger on Thursday.
