MIX '09 Plans

My MIX '09 plans got finalized last week - I'll be attending, and giving a talk as well: "Building Data-driven Applications with Silverlight and ASP.NET" … look for MIX09-T41F on the session list. Its currently listed under Silverlight (need to see if can also be listed under ASP.NET as well).

The talk title and the description could certainly be a bit more meaningful than the placeholders right now - they will be ... after the keynote, once the new technology I'll be drilling into will be publicly announced.

Some hints in the mean time... :-)

• It will be about data and developer frameworks aimed at developer productivity (I've been working on that angle of Web development since the early ASP.NET days, so you might have come to expect that)...
• It will give me a chance to bring together ASP.NET, Silverlight and Ajax, i.e. the stuff I've worked on over the past few years, and get a chance to speak to the .NET continuum with actual bits, and thats always exciting.
• It will bring together key technologies such as LINQ and Azure (which I've been looking to integrate into my scenario since my Azure post from PDC.)

Hope to see you there, and excited to be able to soon blog about what I've been up to for the past year or so...

If folks would like to meet up at MIX down in Vegas, ping me - I'd love to chat about RIAs, Silverlight, Silverlight.FX, ASP.NET, Script# and in general the Web... and where things are headed!
