Back from TechEd in Berlin, a great week with great technology. I focused my interests around Architecture, Azure, AppFabric (hosting WF/WCF) and BizTalk, but the talks that I liked the most were in other technologies, such as PowerPivot (amazing session by Rafal Lukawiecki., where he opened an Excel file with 101 million rows while using around 200 Megs of RAM), Umbraco (a surprisingly interesting Open Source CMS) and oData (feed-based info distribution and management). Also attended varied sessions on “LiveLabs” Pivot (now Silverlight PivotViewer)), Office 365 (very, very promising, but what about access to the beta??), Agile Project Management, HTML5, and others. And still found the time to do some Hands-On-Labs. 🙂
I did not attend TechEd last year, and this was a most refreshing return.
