Provider Model WebCast Fun!

Wow!  Robert McLaws and Jeff Julian just wrapped up their WebCast: “Provider Model: The Flexible Design Pattern of ASP.NET 2.0”.

 

Not only was it a great presentation, but two really cool new things also were announced:

 

  1. Robert announced that InterScape is releasing a Provider Model framework for .NET 1.1.  This is awesome because it will allow us to start building Providers today.  When .NET 2.0 is released, all we’ll have to do is modify our classes to inherit from the 2.0 Provider Model instead of the Interscape framework.  Way Cool!
  2. Robert has a great vision for the Provider Model and really wants to see people adopt it.  To support this, he has announced the launch of http://www.providermodel.com.  This site is a community resource where you can collaborate with others, browse a gallery of providers, and read provider-related blogs.  Again – Way Cool!

 

Robert & Julian – Great Job!

 

P.S.  Watch the WebCast replay when it is available.  If you can figure out what I did to Robert to heckle him during the demo, I’ll send you a ThinkGeek gift certificate!  First person to post specific details in my comments wins!

Nope -- that was not it. I have not watched the replay to see if it was in there, but at one point, I sent Robert an Instant Message while he had his whole desktop shared. Sure enough, it popped up for a brief moment during the webcast, but Robert quickly clicked away from it sending the window to the background. What I sent was a silly joke that I merely hoped he would read and start laughing during the webcast. I was laughing my ass off when it really popped up on screen!

If no one else gets it in a few days, I'll go ahead and give you the gift certificate just for trying!
