Still Missing In Action at BUILD (Day 2)
Yesterday I summarized a few important topics that were auspiciously missing at Microsoft's BUILD conference after the first day of sessions and keynotes. Now as Day 2 nears its end, I thought I'd revisit some of yesterday's observations and see if those topics are still missing. With both keynotes now done, it's pretty safe to assume missing topics now aren't going to get much attention at BUILD 2011. Not Missing Anymore A few things that were missing yesterday did make appearances today: WPF Half of the existing XAML story started to pop-up today. While it didn't make the keynotes, Soma and ScottGu talked about ... -

New City, Same Great Conference! Devlink Excels Again
After many years in Nashville, TN, the Devlink conference moved to Chattanooga, TN. John Kellar, the founder and lead organizer, moved to Chattanooga, and as someone who runs conferences in different cities, I can appreciate John wanting to have DevLink follow him. In the days leading up to the event, it was interesting to hear some folks say they weren’t going to go “because it’s not in Nashville”. Well, I can say first hand, they screwed up! John and crew once again put on an awesome show! Over 120 sessions, and open spaces track, and plenty of off-hours activities made this one... -

With the California sun now rising in the sky, it's time for another fresh day of BUILD and the all important Day 2 keynote. Like yesterday, rather than compete with the live video stream, I've real-time condensed today's keynote in to the key moments you need to get the overall jist of what Microsoft shared. This isn't a blow-by-blow blog of the keynote, but if you spend 5 minutes reviewing this post, you'll know what you need to know from the second BUILD keynote.

BUILD Day 1: What wasn't said?
Silence speaks volumes. While there is coverage ad nauseum about what Microsoft did say at today's opening keynote and following sessions, there is much less attention on what's not being said. True, there is another keynote scheduled for tomorrow, and presumably many additional topics will be covered (like tooling and ALM), but certain important topics are conspicuously absent from the Day 1 conversations. The Missing Topics Silverlight and WPF? It's clear after today that Metro style XAML apps are Microsoft's vision of the future, but what does that mean for the future of Silverlight and WPF? Of course, SL and...
