Feed Description: A technology blog with a focus on the .NET framework, the Visual Studio .NET tools and the Windows server platform with of course the normal weblog-noise on what's happening in the industry and reviews of the latest geeky gadgets.
The software architect forum with Bill Gates was a huge success and I got some quite
positive feedback on our work. Thanks, everyone! I am very glad that everything went
fine. I have to admit that even though I have been speaking at numerous events by
now and I feel quite confident in doing so, this time I was nervous as hell.
For the Q&A session with Bill I was given a deck of cards containing the questions.
My reaction: "Deck of cards? Hey, I have a Tablet PC!". So I wrote them all down on
my Tablet and used this - definitely more hi-tech - tool as a guide during the session.
Ben gave me good
feedback in his blog, but during a discussion today he told me about some possible
improvements for my talk on WSE 2.0 for software architects. And I agree with him,
instead of going technical on SOAP header extensions I could have simply painted a
scenario on how to use these technologies.
I did however point to a superb
article on msdn during my presentation that contains a detailed description of
the scenario that was built for the joint IBM-Microsoft demonstration of WSA technology
held on September 17, 2003. The scenario shows how the WS specifications can be used
together to create Web services that solve real-world needs. It provides an example
of the powerful functionality available to developers because of the composability
of the different WS specifications.
The whole event will soon be released as a web cast on 00001001.ch -
I'll post an update, when it is available.
<Update>The web cast is live! You can find it here!</Update>
