This breakout session dealt with how you can stage the migration of your existing applications using COM+ and MSMQ to WCF. I won’t get into great detail with this one, thought it was a very good session.
Andy Milligan from Microsoft presented along with another man I didn’t catch the name for.
He presented a scenario where a company had legacy VB6 components hosted in COM+ and a Windows Service that was taking messages off the queue and processing them.
The first part of the keynote for today is over and the second part is focusing on the Enterprise Content Managment of the new Office platform. I just thought I would throw out a few gems from the first part of the keynote:
All the PDC attendees are getting a free copy of SQL Server 2005 shipped to them when it is released. Microsoft “Expression” is a new suite of products being released to help enable designers and developers work more closely.
Like I said, it was a long day. I had planned on going to a Infragistics demo and then another BOF session on writing secure code. What I ended up doing was meeting up with my old manager from International Paper and going to eat the Hard Rock and walking around at Hollywood and Highland, which is near the Chinese Theatre and such. Turned out to be a pretty good time and some time away from the convention center.
