DevDay 2007

Microsoft Sri Lanka and the dotnetforum.lk conducted the above event on the 16th Tuesday at the Mount Lavinia Hotel. Yes! this time I was able to attend (I missed a similar one, 3 years back).

There were 2 speakers, 'Chua Wen Ching' from Malaysia, talked mostly about .Net framework 3.5, C# 3.0 and LINQ and 'Venkata Rangan' from India, talked about the 'Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF)' and 'Silverlight'. It was a bit difficult to tune to Ching's English, but the contents of the presentations were good and at last he ran out of time because of too many demos. Venkata had made his session more interesting by showing colorful animations, mainly a matrimony site with pictures of lots of young girls :-).

I expected to receive a Visual Studio .Net 2008 beta installation DVD at the end of the event, but the forum guys said it had not arrived on time to Lanka.
