So, the Office developer conference is over now. I'll be visiting downtown Seattle today before going home with two other attendees of which one of them happened to be someone I've worked on a project before. So, what were the best things I've seen here in Redmond:
- VSTO 2005: Visual Studio tools for Office 2005.. this is really so cool! Creating smart documents, integrating (XML) datasources and extending the taskpane.
- ASP.Net 2.0 Web Part Development.. the next level of webpart development.. seen some great things happening there.
- Bill Gates keynote and his confession he loves Sharepoint ;)
- Some Infopath stuff I knew that was possible but never new how...
- Some LCS 2005 tips
- The sience fiction museum (including rock 'n karaoke) at the EMP.. seen the real Darth Vader, Terminator and Mars Attack suits.. I wish I was Star Track fan!
There are plans to do another Office Developer Conference next year. Then Office 12 will probably in the big picture. I'm looking forward to that one for sure!
