Don Smith was up next to talk about versioning web services. He’s a program manager for P&P group.
The presentation is more of a sounding board for some of the guidance the P&P group would like to give about versioning web services this coming December. Nothing stated in this entry is necessarily what P&P is wanting to do or they consider they have it licked. They want feedback.

The fifth speaker for today is Jason Hogg. He just came from building 41 on the campus, which apparently is on fire. Nice. He’s been working on web service security within Patterns and Practices.

The first after lunch session is being presented by Scott Hanselman and Patrick Cauldwell. To start with before the session they were running comedy sketches on the big screens, like a music video entitled “White and Nerdy” off utube and a fake switch to Linux commercial . Very funny stuff.
The talk is based on the architecture that Corillian, the company Scott and Patrick work for, used to define their services.
