Comments from the Editor
This week, I’m attending Microsoft’s PDC in
California. There are a lot of announcements being made and paradigms
being changed in regard to development. Although I’d like to tell you
everything being said and announced, I’d have to skip out on sessions to
do so. Rather than send you a long editorial, I’ve written up an overview
of some of the comments that have been made to this point. You can check
these out at in my notes posted to Codeguru.com. These are posted as Notes
from PDC 2008. You’ll find I talk about Windows Azure, C# 4.0, Windows
7, Visual Studio 2010, WPF, Silverlight, and more!
Expect articles and more information on all of this soon after PDC is
over!
Until next week…
Brad!
