Dennis - Best PDC session so far : Lap aroubnd "Oslo" - "This is by far the best session I’ve seen so far! According to Douglas Purdy, Don Box says we’re on a 30 year journey and we’re 15 years in. We had COM(+), .NET 1.0, Web Services, .NET 3.0 and now we’re entering the next phase. Oslo is the next level for a model-driven platform. We’ve been heading there via configuration, attributes and doing more and more declarative instead of typing everything out. A great example for declarative development is of course LINQ."
