I spent the better part of last week in Redmond and surrounding communities for the MVP Conference. It was a nice to be able to put a face to so many online personas. For the most part it appears that a lot of the content was also presented at PDC with a few exceptions. My overall thoughts are that there are a number of exciting technologies – I suppose the only frustration is that there is little indication in so many cases of when the stuff will actually be shipped.
Things I am looking forward to:
- Windows Workflow Foundation (WWF) – I think this has snuck under the radar a bit, but should present some great new capabilities to enterprise developers. I can think of a project right now that could desperately use this.
- Indigo (WCF) – I hate the new name, but WCF looks very promising.
- LINQ – I know that Frans is not a big fan of DLINQ, but I am looking forward to learning more about this particular technology. Unfortunately, since I did not attend this session I will admit to a paucity of knowledge here.
