There was a large contingent of Microsoft evangelist at this years Silicon Valley Codecamp 2008 pushing Microsoft Azure, XNA, and Silverlight technologies. I was able to see Microsoft Surface in action. Surface is an interactive table top, it reminds me of a large iPhone made into a coffee table. Just like the iPhone, you gesture at the Surface screen to manipulate objects. Java, Groovy, and Flex also had a good showing. Below are conference notes from each of the sessions I was able to attend.
- Java 2D and Groovy
- Silverlight 2.0: It Just Keeps Getting Better
- Windows Azure
- Component Based Java Web Development with Apache Wicket
- Silverlight 2.0 Made Easy
- Destroying the Universe with XNA
- Flex and 3D UI: For Games and More
