After the good start in the previous day this one was less interesting, it was the day with the weakest agenda and some of the sessions were a bit disapointing, yet there were some nice things to talk about.
As in the previous day, my main focus was the techonologies I haven’t put my hands on in the last months: presentation layer technologies. I was able to finish the complete series of Jeff Prosise sessions (one of the authorities in ASP) early in the morning, this one dedicated to ASP.NET AJAX but with an interesting twist: a real bash in the UpdatePanel control, probably the most widely seen feature in demos, and a . Sticking with the AJAX subject, Rui Quintino showed us some security issues and possible hacks in AJAX enabled sites.
Excited by Chad Hower’s WPF session on the previous day I attended hist session dedicated to WPF/E, the yet to be released (and yet to be properly named) subset of WPF that will target web and mobile platforms. Chad’s an excellent sepaker, but there’s much less to show about WPF/E other than a few nice looking demos, there isn’t much support for WPF/E not even in Orcas. So this one wasn’t nearly as exciting has hos previous session, and this time he used Powerpoint for the slideshow and, worst of all, it made me miss one of my goals for this event: C# 3.0.
The rest of the day was also dull, the only day I left before the end…
