Post PDC 2008 thoughts
Sun, Nov 2 2008 7:29
So back home now after a reasonable journey back from LA all things considered; so I have had a bit of time to reflect, was the PDC good? Well I think I enjoyed my previous PDC in 2005 more, your first time always sticks in your memory. I think that this might be due to the fact that at the 2005 PDC LINQ was announced and it was a real left field thing, nobody...

Team System Database GDR Edition RTM Released
Sat, Nov 1 2008 17:19
While I was at the PDC I missed the announcement that the release candidate for Database Edition was made, I was not following blogs too much. You can find all the download links for the RTM at Gert Drapers Blog , you can also see his PDC session where he made the announcement . Why did I miss the session you might ask? well I was in Agile development with Team...

PDC Day 3
Thu, Oct 30 2008 10:33
The keynote today was all about MSR , interesting as ever. I particularly liked the demos of Second Light (Surface computing that reaches beyond the surface of the physical pc) and Boku (a system to help children program). The latter is close to our hearts at Black Marble due to the work we have done on FPL , another system to teach children to program (watch...

PDC 2008 Day 2 Keynote
Tue, Oct 28 2008 14:47
Well it was all end user focused today; Windows 7 and experience in Live systems . All looks very nice, given the usually question you have to raise in a connected environment over personal data security. I am sure Microsoft have done a good job of physical and logical data security, but the whole concept of mesh networks opens up a huge potential for social...

It made me laugh…

At the PDC expo drinks last night I was asked to show age ID to get a drink! Just me it seems, nobody else from the company. I thought I was doing well to be carded on my 30th birthday whilst in the US, but 10 years on it getting silly – You must ask how do I keep my youthfully countenance? Wish I knew, but they say it is youth culture here in LA. So my new aim...

VSTS 2010 at the PDC
Mon, Oct 27 2008 19:59
Though not really mentioned in the keynote there are a lot of sessions on VSTS 2010 at the PDC; it is going to be a major really major release. Chatting in between the sessions with other delegates there seems to loads of interest in the new testing features, but we know this is pain point from Alt.net meetings . It will be interesting to see how these new tools...

PDC 2008 thoughts day 1
Mon, Oct 27 2008 17:59
So it seems we are going to have themed days at the 2008 PDC and day one is all about the Azure services platform. Though judging by the expo stands the key announcements for tomorrow - Oslo and Dublin are out there too. As conferences go it seems a bit confused to me, I guess Microsoft are aiming for three big bangs at three keynotes; but we seem to have...
