Key Points from Microsoft Techdays 2009 Finland

by Matti Lehtinen March 07, 2009 21:01

Here are my key points from Techdays conference which was held in Helsinki on 5th - 6th of March:

  1. Visual Studio 2010 and .NET framework 4.0 are almost here. Get ready.
  2. ASP.NET 4.0
    • One click deployment that creates a package file (uses MSDeploy). This can be compared to .jar packages of java.
    • Support for multiple web.config files without needing to copy-paste.
    • AJAX Client Templates will change the way we are writing JavaScript.
    • ASP.NET MVC- a new alternative to Web Forms
  3. Azure Services Platform
    • Less worries about environment and scalability.
    • Note that SQL Data Services != MS SQL Server.
  4. SharePoint 2007
    • Application lifecycle must be planned carefully because there are many challenges especially with upgrading the application.
    • See patterns & practices SharePoint Guidance. It contains plenty of useful information.
    • Check Prism V2 if you are planning to use Silverlight 2.0 with SharePoint. It contains patterns and practices to develop modular, rich applications.
  5. Pex and Chess are really cool new tools which will help you to catch bugs.

TechDays videos will be available at codezone.fi.

Vista Error

Hello! I'm an avid reader of your blog about technology. Laughing I am currently having errors with Vista. Would you mind helping me out? ^_^ You seem like you know what you're doing and I don't want to pay some teenager at Geek Squad to outsource fixing my PC to some impoverished fellow in India.

I had a blog like this once, but I had so many spam comments I had to close it. You seem to be better at weeding out the spam! Well done!

In fact your fanciful writing abilities has forced me to start my very own blog now. Actually the blogging is spreading its wings speedily. Your write up can be a fine example of it.
