• So Long

  This post is a bit overdue — but, as the saying goes, better late than never. I left the WPF team (and Microsoft) a few months ago. Then, I went to Europe to go watch the World Cup.

• Mix06 and Powerpoint

  I’ll be speaking at Mix06 in Las Vegas this Monday — I’m giving a developer-focused overview of WPF (4:30 on Monday, if you’re interested). One of the original goals (gimmicks?) for my talk was to not use Powerpoint — I didn’t want my talk to turn into a boring, slide-focused hour. I hoped that not [...] Read More...
