Today was my first day at Devscovery.
Durning the keynote there was a lot of coverage about Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) and how it is going to make creating a application that will be able to run in either a web browser or as a windows application. It has a lot of functionally in it that is going to make resizing a application to the screen resolution something that will be handled without having to deal with it thru code. It will also allow the user to change the font size and it will handle the changes for the user.
Both the second and fourth sessions that I attended had to dealt with security for a web site. It gave great insight into how to code to handle many of the issues.
The third session was on exception handling. It gave great insight into the perspectives that the designers used when laying the foundation for exception handling. It was very informative. But Greg, I still don’t agree with all of it… Sorry.
There was a lot of great information. Ink and handwritting applications look to be an area where things are going to grow as time goes by. I’m looking forward to the next 2 days.
