Technology, .NET, and Why It Rules My World
 
 Monday, April 03, 2006

Well, I'm actually a day late posting this.  My wife and I got in on Saturday to do the Disney thing, as per obligation for being in Orlando ;-)  I'm basically Disneyed-out from past trips.  I used to be addicted to Disney...but maybe that was tied to our daughter growing up a fan.  Anyway...

I attended the pre-conference all-day ASP .NET 2.0 hands-on session given by Paul Litwin.  I don't think he was on top of his game today.  He seemed perhaps jet-lagged and not as prepared as I've seen him in the past.  Dino Esposito was in attendance, and helped out a bit.  I did benefit from it, though.  Since I haven't been hands-on as I'd like these days, it's always a confidence boost when you can fly through all the labs.  Maybe there's still something left in the programming tank after all ;-)

The focus was on 2.0-specific data controls, master pages & navigation, and login controls.  These are core 2.0 topics, but they aren't very challenging.  But it was still a good refresher.

The free wireless connection supposedly supplied by the conference did not work at all.  We're still a couple of years away from true, reliable hotpoints, IMO.
