Luckily for me, starting yesterday I had the privilege to attend Juval Lowy’s 5-day Architect’s Master Class which is held in Israel and organized by Gadi Meir’s IDAG . In this Master Class, Juval, a recognized software legend by Microsoft and one of the most well known Software Architects in the world, explains the role of the Software Architect in the Software Development industry and his position in the organization. Listening to Juval is, as always, a pleasure. I am personally happy to find out...
Time to Say Goodbye It's been more than a year since I joined Sela , and I've arrived to a point where I felt that it's time to move on. I had a great time since I joined Sela, as I had the opportunity to deep-dive into some interesting technologies and meet some exceptional people. I would like to take this opportunity to thank some of them: Erez Fliess - My manager at Sela, and the person who (together with Alon) is responsible for me being there in the first place. From Erez I learned...
This Thursday I had the pleasure to attend a one day seminar on “WCF in Real Life” with Juval Lowy . The day was organized by Gadi Meir and sponsored by Sela , and was composed of discussions on many issues in WCF including: Hosting WCF Services Handling Faults and Errors Extending the WCF Extensions Queued Services WCF 4.0 Windows Azure AppFabric Service Bus (aka .NET Services Bus) And more… As always it was very interesting to hear Juval speak and explain his ideas and knowledge, and even though...
I usually don’t like blog posts which simply reference some other site, but this one is just too good . I can definitely sympathize with that one. Thanks to Elad Hanania who pointed me at the direction.
Well, the second day of the PDC is now over with only one more day to go. I can really start to feel the end… So what have we had today? Silverlight 4 announcement , several technical sessions, a free laptop and at the end – Geek Fest. Geek Fest was basically a party Microsoft arranged instead of the traditional big PDC party which was probably canceled due to budget limitations. This festival was comprised mostly of a lot of games spread across the conference hall, massage tables, good music and...
As was announced during the PDC keynote , all PDC attendees received a free PDC Convertible Tablet Laptop with an accompanying license for Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit. Of course, in order to get the laptop you had to stand in a long line, but fortunately the representatives at distribution desk worked very efficiently and the line moved pretty quickly. This laptop is an Acer Inspire 1420P which is an 11.6” Multi-Touch machine, and it looks like a very nice one. I hope I’ll have some time to try it...
Well, it’s almost 2:00 AM here in Los-Angeles, and the first day of the PDC is almost over. It was quite a busy day, constantly running from one side of the convention center to the other in order to get to sessions in time, posting blog posts as soon as possible after a session is over, going through the Sela booth to help and trying to get something to eat in between. All in all – I had a good time today. By the way, if you are in the PDC drop by the Sela booth, you have a chance to win a 25.5...
As most of you probably know, Microsoft's PDC 2009 is starting tomorrow and I'm already here in Los-Angeles together with a large expedition of about 20 experts from Sela Group . Today we had some fun at Los-Angeles' Six-Flags Magic Mountain rollercoaster park (highly recommended), but the real fun starts tomorrow at the PDC pre-conference workshops. As for my own schedule, tomorrow I’ll attend the “ Windows 7 Developer Boot Camp ” and during the conference itself I intend to focus on...
Hi, my name is Eran Stiller. No, I am not related to Ben Stiller or Jerry Stiller , although I’m quite used to people asking...

My interests include a wide array of technologies which constantly change over time as I learn newer ones. Currently my main focus lies on server side technologies such as WCF, WF, WF Services,...
