Well, here it is: [originally posted by HiroProtagonist in Neowin Forum ]
The " Neues aus L.A. " was a nice event. Though I attended PDC myself, Clemens did a good job summarizing the PDC's three pillars Avalon, WinFS, and Indigo. I got to know Daniel Fisher , who shot some pics .
Today's the PDC retrospection " Neues aus L.A. " organized by newtelligence AG . You don't know newtelligence? Well, you may know Clemens Vasters , writer of dasBlog . He's the CTO of newtelligence. However, this restrospection is for all those people...
I've never stopped using the console since the good old DOS. In fact, each developer at our company is using the console, i.e. 4NT . Our development environment depends heavily on the console, the complete build and deployment process is realized with...
As announced , CPians attending the PDC met this afternoon at the Starbucks coffee stand. It was my first time I met any CPian in real life. I was a little bit disappointed, that only a few people came by. However, you missed your T-shirts, so I got two...
Nice new features in the IDE: Expansion, configurable via XML schema (e.g. automatic getter and setter for properties) Code formatting (customizable) Filter completion list (e.g. the list in catch( contains exception classes only) Browse components (generates...
Today I got an email from a coworker about the meaning of WinFX: "Is WinFX a new marketing name for .NET"? No, it isn't. WinFX is the managed API, the SDK of Longhorn. Steven Goulet, the speaker of this session, said: Everything in Longhorn is in the...
In this session Steve Lasker presented the mainly the form designed in Whidbey. E.g. the alignment of control will be much easier, it will create guidelines for top, baseline, and bottom alignment automatically. Another enhancement is the data binding...
Awesome. Michael Wallent and Pablo Fernicola showed some impressive demos with Avalon. They coded a simple application containing several controls, which you can reposition, resize, and rotate during run-time. Interesting about it is that on of the controls...
Interesting session... for someone who hasn't heard of FxCop before. Ok, they have added some new rules targeting Whidbey. Besides that, it was the least interesting session today.
The first time I've seen Bill Gates in real live. He spoke much about the past development of the IT industry and presented the Microsoft's vision for the next few years. Nice to see some self-critism. Jim Allchin's presentation got more into the bits...
Several weeks ago I played around with NAnt, since we need a decent build environment for our new software. I've read about MSBuild a.k.a. XBuild before, but no information was available (at least outside Microsoft). Today I attended the session about...
This morning I meet Tom, a nice guy from North Carolina. We took our breakfast together. Afterwards, while waiting for a taxi in front of the hotel, a Austrian guy joined us, so we shared the cab. The quite extroverted taxi driver is from Israel. I could...
After 12 hours of flying I arrived yesterday in Los Angeles. Though I heared about the current fires around L.A. in German news, I was surprised by the dark and grey sky. I hope they're able to fight it. Anyway, I was quite tired, since I was awake for...
Jim Blizzard asks: How are you going to tackle the PDC? There are so many products and features that we’ve heard about only through rumors, best guesses, and an occasional leak or two. At the PDC these secrets are going to have the spotlight fully...
WinNetMag is reporting that Microsoft will make Longhorn pre-Beta 1 available for a small fee and also ship it for free to MSDN subscribers. [via Mack D. Male ]
Such a T-Shirt arrived yesterday. Thanks, Jeff .
Robert Scoble says : NDA-centric culture. There are no NDAs at the PDC over the PDC content. Enough said. But, we still are far too NDA-oriented. So, I'll give us a "B" on that score. Improvement still needed. AFAIK the first time Microsoft...
Reminder to myself: Install following two applications on your laptop before flying to L.A. next week: Virtual PC : According to ChrisAn , Longhorn can run on Virtual PC, so I can check the PDC bits immediately MapPoint 2004 North America not to get lost...
According to Mary Jo Foley , Longhorn will not ship until 2006 .
