Meeting Jason Zander

Hey folks, it’s a long time since i write my last blog entry. I was bussy this days. But now i will be back. First of all there is this Interview with Jason Zander. I met so many great people this year. John Leffor which is the Pheonix and Research guy from Microsoft. Then on the Technical Summit 2008 Thomas Dallmair and i had the Chance to talk to Jason. We did a short Interview for Channel8

10 Minutes on Dev 10 - Jason Zander

I don’t like the this pink color. Anyway, we asked Jason about the new Visual Studio Editor. It’s a proof of concept for WPF from my personal feeling. Jason told us how hey actually told his LPM’s to test the new Features in .net 4.0.

An we asked him if it is possible to extend the Visual Studio Express. Due to the fact that we really have some things we want to share with users how still learning visual studio. Or students who are using the free version. Well as a matter of fact the their is no legal chance to do this. However doesn’t means it impossible. But you better don’t try it. Microsoft will not be amused.

What else more can i tell you? Well there is this little promise he made. Ok for all of you guys already have developed a vs plugin. Don’t worry. In some cases it will work great under dev 10. And in some others perhaps not. But their will be an easy to use deployment strategy. Whatever that means. ;-)

So enough about Berlin and the Technical Summit. Except the strange Hotel i was. It’s called Hotel Kaiser. Well this is really something strange. Imagine a house in a house in a house. It was a bit of adventure. But i liked it.

And another strange thing. The Convention Center the Technical Summit took place was like a space ship designed in the early 70th. Well i doesn’t liked it until Tom tells me: “Think about it as a space ship” since this sentence everything fits. And i was totally impressed. More about the Technical Summit.
