MIX 2011 Day 1–Keynote

Ido Flatow — Wed, 13 Apr 2011 01:04:10 GMT

First session of the day – the daily keynote.

IE9 & IE10

An improved web browser with better HTML 5 support. It will probably be announcement around September this year

ASP.NET MVC 3 Tools

New edition of MVC 3 with better scaffolding support, modernizr support for rendering HTML 5 and CSS 3 compatible web pages for earlier browsers. MVC 3 tools also add supports for EF 4.1 support and newer version of jQuery.

(The EF version is actually 4.1, it’s hidden by the camera man)

There were also some talks about Azure, WebMatrix, and Orchard, but I was occupied with taking photos, so I didn’t quite listen. I guess it wasn’t that important, since I didn’t hear any clapping.

As usual, the first keynote was packed with people, I lost count at 1029, but I bet there were more:

I’m heading to the HTML 5 for Silverlight Developers session, and will tell you all about it later today.
