Unfortunately, after 2 years of presenting in the Buenos Aires CodeCamp, this time I won't be able to make it, which is bad because it's a really nice event with very good presenters and a lot of energy.

Oslo and the Entity Framework
Doug Purdy announced that the Oslo and the Data Programmability team were merged.
Since I first heard of the Entity Framework, it was pretty clear to me that it was designed to be the 'Model' of the .NET Framework. Even if there were some disagreements over the EF programming model or their designers, the 'modeling' part of the story looked pretty well (even if I can still not map some fairly common scenarios (1)).
If Oslo wanted to drive ´Model-Driven Development' in the .NET platform, and if they took a very 'data-driven' approach, it made sense that they used the EF as their model.
It looks that in addition of fluent interfaces for the EF, we´ll have a way to define an EF model in M, which would be much better than the current XMLs. We´ll need to wait until PDC to find out.
As a side note, Oslo looks to be very far from it's shipping date. -

From Google Reader to Twitter
If you are a long-time Twitter user this post will sound obvious. I’m not, and even if I think this was probably said one thousand times I feel like saying it again.

Client side change-tracking data structures in .NET
A couple of years ago I was involved in a couple of threads about doing change-tracking in client-side data structures to support multi-tier development, just like DataSets do, but with the Entity Framework.

MacBookPro for Windows Developers
When we started developing Quince I thought we’ll need a Mac to be able to test it in OS/X. I finally had a good excuse to get a Mac! It was a good decision, because it was useful while developing Quince (more about that here), but I´m not happy with it at all.
