I almost forget the interesting 2-day event or you can say “meeting” in Melbourne. The idea of this conference is to show Microsoft developer the latest development kits and to let technical or IT people catch up each other. $300 for joining the meeting but I got it for free. Thanks to my boss to give me such great opportunity to join the great event.

I got 2 souvenirs, such as t-shirt, caps, but all are related to Microsoft stuff. You want to get the t-shirt? well, need to make some efforts. Everyone who attends the meeting will get a magic cube from the host, and need to fix the cube to a designated image. After all, once cubes are fixed, the host sorts them out and put them in a frame, to shape a IE icon:

The Frame of Magic cubes,Everyone is involved

I think the most useful sessions are about how jQuery works peacefully with ASP.NET and VS.NET 2010 new features, and one interesting session talking about the future data representation, and introduce Pivot. Microsoft considers the cooperation with jQuery is a giant step forward, and shows its ambitions to open source community. Microsoft starts to contribute to open source community and make a lot of effort towards it, look forward to seeing its powerful tool released in months to come.

Frankly Speaking - Talk Show in REMIX10

One thing somehow a little bit disappointed me is on this event, Microsoft doesn’t show any thing about HTML5 and CSS3, I think because Microsoft more focuses on sliverlight technology?
