Rocking @ PDC 2007

Yesterday I had a rocking time @ Pakistan Developer Conference 2007, here at PC Hotel in Karachi. I had 3 sessions back to back,yes it was tiring but I enjoyed it. I started with a presentation on Office Programmable, basically talking about VSTO + VS Orcas(Ribbon Designer, Custom Task Panes, Excel Designer etc.). My next presentation was on Composite Architecture where I talked about merits of composition,its business case, how to architect composite applications, and other relevant challenges etc. Third session was on WCF Service Programming. I started off with REST architecture, then I talked about support for programming POX (Plain Old XML), Syndication, JSON, AJAX etc with WCF (VS Orcas - .net 3.5). I believe audience loved it specially the ease with which things could be done in Orcas. I will upload the slides shortly.
