Make Web Not War – Microsoft’s Slides

Friday, March 5th, 2010

Wow, big thanks to Dave Bost for the Rosati’s Pizza and an excellent presentation on Microsoft’s web products. And thanks to all of you who came out and joined us for over two hours of exciting information, questions, and networking. Everyone who was there got a free t-shirt and a Visual Studio license, an amazing deal. And now I have a box of raffle giveaways for months to come.

Dave posted his Make Web Not War notes & links on his blog at davebost.com. Here are his slides:

Also, don’t forget to check out the website for the Mix conference, running from March 15-17. This is Microsoft’s annual web designer & developer conference, and they’ll have live streams of the presentations during the conference. After a few days, Dave says they’ll have on-demand streams available too.

Since a few people asked, here’s a link to Microsoft Expression, Microsoft’s new development environment for web programming.

If you enjoyed last night’s presentation, be sure to check out Dave’s Thirsty Developer postcast, rate our meetup at meetup.com, and stay tuned for next month’s meetup announcement for our PHP IDE showdown.

Sorry about the audio quality. I recorded it using a wireless headset, and it’s a little rough in spots.
