- RT @MakeUseOf: "How To Install Google Android On A Windows Mobile Phone http://bit.ly/4fzkFp" >> Haha. Nice one. #
- From now on C# and VB will co-evolve i.e. have same features. So no reason whatsoever to develop VB anymore! #pdc09 #
- Multi-line lambda expressions now allowed. And I didn't even like the single-line ones. #pdc09 #
- The dynamic construct in C# and VB can be very powerful, if in the right hands.. #pdc09 #
- Future directions: Microsoft is thinking of opening up the #C and VB compilers.. #pdc09. #
- Future directions: getting rid of async stuff, that is simplifying it. I asked for that 2 years ago ;-). #pdc09 #
- M&Ms taste differently here in the USA than in the Netherlands. Ours are better. #
- Windows Azure is really an impressive piece of work. Great job! Wonder how Google and Amazon will respond. #pdc09 #
- RT @wasigh: "@aahoogendoorn keep the news coming! really enjoy reading it all." >> will do. #
- You will have to go through a lot of steps before being able to write an Azure appl. Could be made simpler? #pdc09 #
- future directions asp.net: implementing active record pattern. they're now re-implementing the whole Castle project? #pdc09 #
- And simplified routing, with less config #pdc09 #
- ASP.NET futures: support for email verification. Helper class for image manipulation. #pdc09 #
- Smarter routing called SmartyRoute basically to allow distinguishing actual url's from params. #pdc09 #

- Velocity will deliver distributed output cache. It's part of the Fabric #pdc09 #
- Future: introduction of sprites. packing all images on page in single file. Saves server calls. #pdc09 #

- Watching a Sketchflow presentation. not sure why we would need this yet. #pdc09 #
- SketchFlow is nice, but elaboratel #pdc09 #
- SketchFlow can even populate controls in prototype with Lorem Ipsum type data, but formatted – e.g. money, urls. #pdc09 #
- SketchFlow is a really rich prototyping tool but it takes developers to build it. Complex! No designer stuff. Or end user. #pdc09 #
- Just saw my tweets show up on the Surface table in the hall. They finally found a use for it! #pdc09 #
