The next session was by a guy from Telerik on creating AJAX extender controls. Unfortunately the guy was quiet and had quite a strong foreign accent which made him hard to understand!! However he really did know his stuff!! The session was in-depth, with lots of code and quite interesting - I need to go through the AJAX clientside framework because I didn't really understand this part of the talk!!
The final session was back over to Scott (he probably needed the break as he re-ran his last session through lunch for those who couldn't get in the room!! He did mention he done a webcast - so look out for that :)) This session was on WPF/E and he showed some excellent demos and ran through the code step by step. He showed us this really cool vista emulator done in WPF/E over here, its in some foriegn language, he didn't seem to know who the author was but it was quite funny and shows the power of this technology!! I want to try and use this for a video player in my project but he did say it will only play WMV format, which is an awesome codec (HD 720p quality with low bandwith) but might cause me some problems :(
Scott said he will be posting all his slides and code on his site at some point.
We also all got a free copy of Expression Web which was cool, got a few other bits of swag which is always a bonus :)
A really good event, I think Scott being there really made it for me :) But I will defiantly be signing up again for WebDD2!!
We are Jeff and Scott and just to be different we thought we would do a joint blog. We are both software developers currently working at the Royal Veterinary College in London. Between us we specialise in ASP.NET, C#, WinForms, enterprise level design and anything else we come across :) We are often off on tangents trying things out so we thought we would record them here.
