The Silverlight team started the day, and they are getting to the point where the core on Silverlight v2 is getting useable, but they are really lacking behind in controls, and they still seem to keep their dual focus both targeting the Business Line Applications and RIA. This really does that you miss many of the controls for successfully doing on of these. But look like they will be there in time, but not within the next half year.
After that the ASP.Net Team boomed us with a lot of upcoming features, most of it was classified but ASP.Net Dynamic Data Control v2 looks very entreating for Composite C1, this really could become a powerful control for Composite C1 developers.
Today’s lunch session was great but, where 100% confidential we can’t even say the codename. But its very exciting to see something brand new ideas.
After lunch it was time to have a look at the Entity Framework v2. As everyone know both me and Martin loves O/R theory. So this was really joy full for the both of us. Now there is definitely some god stuff in there.
Now we have been running labs on a 7 day old version of VS10, and yes there are nice features in it, but it crashes more than often, but that properly how it is with “pre” CTP versions.
Today’s topics where:
· Silverlight
· ASP.Net
· (a secret thing)
· Entity Framework v2
· Data Services v2
At the end of the day we visited the Microsoft Store and got to buy Microsoft stuff at employee prices.
Now the American people like drive in’s and they got allot of them, today we even found a drive in bank. You couldn’t even walk in to it.
