So many cool things to see/learn but yet so little time. I managed to squeeze as much out it as humanly possible on 5-6 hours sleep each night. Don't ask how, but let just say that Starbucks made a tidy profit from me.
Saw lots of new cool technologies...
- Windows Workflow Foundation (WWF) -> Creating workflows in your custom app. Very cool and exciting :)
- "Sparkle" --> Part of the MS Expressions family.
and many many more...
I will start blogging on some of the cool new technologies that I've seen at PDC'05, once I've had a go at them and investigated them further. Which can only mean one thing, more late nights for me. I don't know about you, but trying new bits has always been one of my favourite past time. Call me a geek, but that what makes me tick. ;)
Personally, I see tremendous opportunities in the WWF. It will change the way we think when building custom solutions.
In most cases, the business logic is hard-coded as a series of if..else statements, procedures calls and database lookups. Hopefully with WWF, we can start being more productive when building workflow solutions in our custom apps.
