  • I'm Going to PDC

    I'm all set. My hotel is booked, flight is selected, and registration is done. Now all I have to do is wait and speculate. This will be my first PDC, so I'm pretty excited about it. Although Microsoft has revealed some of the topics to be discussed, the fun part is guessing what they aren't telling us yet: With guaranteed coverage of "Rosario", I'm pretty sure they'll be talking about .NET 4.0 (and hopefully Acropolis). The initial previews were very promising. To have it become a native part of the .NET framework is exciting. I'm also hoping to get a sneak peek at Windows 7.

He will be joining them on the MEF team, as that is not directly related to Castle (although I am sure the IoC stuff make use of the MEF) he gets to keep working on the project, very cool. I do wonder when Oren, Jeremy and Jeff (also super smart dudes) will be joining the mother ship, still waiting on my call Scott :D ;-) Read More...
