MIX08 Wrap up

By jbonnie on Friday, March 07, 2008 3:40:24 PM

Mix08 is in the books, and crowds are headed out for Vegas adventures.

Scott Gu started it off and dressed up for the keynote as usual.

There were a number of cool demos, hard to believe that AOL could breathe life into email, but with Silverlight2, well, they did!

But the best for me continues to be the Hard Rock's wall of memorabilia.

Time to go download and check out the new WPF and Silverlight bits :)

About Me

Thanks for stopping by. My name is Jim Bonnie and I have been writing software for over 20 years. After building financial data systems for Reuters for nearly 18 years I have started doing contract work and am excited about technology and currently focus on Microsoft solutions. DotNetNuke has helped provide a good introduction to ASP.NET web application development, and I am now starting to branch out into other areas. Data Access techniques and SubSonic is something that I am looking into now. This has helped me get an invitation to speak at Las Vegas at DNN Open Force 07. it was a great time. And I am looking forward to OpenForce08, where I wil be presenting on TDD for DNN.

Reading the codebetter blogs and attending a nothing but .net training class with JP Boodhoo helped spark my interest in ALT.NET. I attended the first conference in Austin Texas, and it was amazing to see Scott Guthrie introduce the ASP.NET MVC framework.
