A few weeks ago, I was invited to present at the VP R&D forum in Tel-Aviv.
The presentation (divided into two parts) included lots and lots of updates on the development technologies we have today and those that we will release to the market in the future. This is a presentation I use variations of with different customers and partners to show where Microsoft is and where we're going with our development technologies.
The presentation can be downloaded from my skydrive folders.
The video of my presentation, divided into two parts, can be viewed from:
- Video of First Part - .NET 3.0 & 3.5 Overview, P&P, WPF, Silverlight, WCF, WF, and Dublin.
