Gearing Up for PDC 2005

In honor of the fact that I’ve been crafting slides for my PDC talk all day, I added my geeky piece of PDC flair over there on the right. I must admit, I rather enjoy it. :)

Here’s the abstract for my talk:

Windows Presentation Foundation (“Avalon”): Using Application Services
Learn how to use Windows Presentation Foundation (formerly codename “Avalon”) application-level services for data management, system interaction, hosting, and UI to create great client applications. See how to create both standalone client applications and rich browser applications that can take advantage of these services. Gain guidance for using application-level services, such as when your application should be hosted in the browser or a standalone window, whether or not to write a navigation-based application, and how to manage application data and settings for various scenarios.

(Yes, as you might have noticed, “Avalon” has now been re-christened “Windows Presentation Foundation”. I guess we knew the sexy codename wouldn’t last forever.)

If you’re going to be joining us at the LA Convention Center in September, and you’re interested in how Avalon (er, I mean Windows Presentation Foundation) is making application development more fun, I hope you’ll come check it out.
