Keynote at MIX08

Yes, the WideOpen Web is full of possibilities!

Scott Guthrie did an outstanding job highlighting technologies we as developers/designers or "dev-igners"  can look forward to using.  Here is my quick summary:

IE 8

The IE 8 story was explained in "8" flavors:

1. CSS 2.1 Support
2. CSS Certification
3. Performance
4. HTML 5
5. Developer Tools
6. Activities (context sensitive menus based on selected items on page)
7. Web slices (subscribe to a part or 'slice' of a page without RSS)
8. Beta 1 is ready for download

Silverlight 2.0

• Template available for Visual Studio 2008
• Deep zoom!  (http://memorabilia.hardrock.com/)
• Support for mobile devices

I am already in a hurry to try some Silverlight 2.0 development today!  If you want, you can also watch the keynote yourself.
