The main Microsoft techie event in Portugal has started today and will last for three days (with myself attending all of them), an event where the main focus, from the developer point of view, is the .Net 3.0 Framework and ASP.NET Ajax. Besides all the presentations, with all the available subjects and all the renowned speakers there’s an added bonus: the project I’ve been working for the last year will result in more than one presentation (regarding subjects like as Team System, SCRUM, and Windows Workflow Foundation), but have no fear because I’ve left that job to someone more capable than myself.
It was the normal slow start, typical in a first day of this kind of event, with some sales pitch or overview presentations. Still I was able to grab a hell of a show by Chad Hower on Windows Presentation Foundation, where all the presentation was made using WPF, instead of a regular PowerPoint.
Other neat stuff: one really cool demo using WPF, video and speech recognition!
