PDC 09 Session 2

Session 2 was right after lunch and was only okay, very abstract as none of it was really real yet. Still some interesting stuff that we will be able to do.

- Session 2: Microsoft ASP.NET Futures with Jonathan Carter and Scott Hunter
- DTA
- SEO stuff in .NET 4
- oooo scheduling in future version of ASP.NET
- what is routing? something related to SEO
- ASP is trying to get Common activities into one line of code (resize an image, scheduling, etc.)
- image maipulation.
- File upload with progress (not a poor man's progress)
- my class in VB.NET? Research
- Good idea, I have way too many apps that need something done every x mins that I do the poor man's way.
- Maybe the guy last time wasn't so short maybe that table is really tall.
- oh Routing I get it. This could be good for events.
- SmartyRoute check for the last "directory" on disk (foo/bar search for bar) if it does not exist goto the next one (foo) and if that exists pass the first one (bar) to the page that exists
- would remove extensions. This would be good for Sitecore.
- Demo fail....
- All this stuff is planned for the future too bad not now
- ASP is looking into implementing HTML5 items into the ASP standard (I think that was vague)
- losing focus.
- hehe the Microsoft guy is using firefox instead of scourge of the software world (IE)
- Microsoft has a cool zoom tool for presentations
- Everyone with a laptop out is surfing the internet
- Velocity - distributed cache platform.
- save anything you want I think got distracted
- works for webfarms one cache for all web servers
- meh
- css sprites and minification
- minimizing http requests for the lifecycle of the page
- sprites put everything in one file so the kbs don't change but the number of requests goes down.
- I really want to work at microsoft now. This shit looks facinating.
- definatly not ready yet, but a really cool idea. All images are done via CSS, slick as all hell.
- Everything will be controled by convention (folders in the correct place and different names etc.
- Active Record - use this as a prototype before creating DB
- neat this will create a database for you as well. With forgein keys and pks
- wow, that's neat, Active record does all the heavy lifting for your DBs
- These view things look pretty neat too.
- Okay you're done now, move on.
- easier, that is good cause web programmers don't get enough flak for not being real programmers :P
