I'm just getting to the last session of the day at MTS. It's been a mixed bag. In the morning there were two presentations, one by the guy behind IronPython. I learned a little more on that one than I thought I would. Then there was a section on the guts of the CLR and that bored me to death. At lunch there was a session on GotDotNet which turned out to be fairly interesting.
The afternoon presentations have been pretty interesting so far. The guy from the interop lab gave a good talk that degenerated quickly into a ranting session with the audience on licensing. He was great, but the audience was pretty aggressive about open source. Then the guy from Microsoft Research came in, started slow, but ended really well. He showed off some incredible imaging stuff and interactivity research. It's impressive that Microsoft actually has a research group, well more than a group, actually like 700 people who do just basic research.
Now Don Box is here and he is taking notes from the audience in LISP. Interesting. I actually have no idea what Indigo is and now 10 minutes into this I still don't. But hey, more stuff to learn.
I'm still not quite sure why I'm here. But the meat for me is tomorrow with WPF.
