Shortly after returning from PDC I sat down with Jeff Brand to record the latest edition of Spaghetti Code for October 2010. In the episode we talk about Ray Ozzie’s exit from Microsoft, the “HTML5 Incident” that happened at PDC along with a number of other announcements that came out of PDC. We then go on to wildly speculate about the future of Windows as a platform. Get the show via one of the following l links:

On Thursday, November 4, 2010 Brent Stineman and I recapped PDC10 with an open discussion at the Twin Cities .NET User Group. The discussion had two main areas of focus, one being, what I’m calling, “The HTML5 Incident” and the other being announcements regarding Windows Azure. Below are links to resources from each focus area.

(On a side note, I had originally planned on giving a presentation on the Managed Extensibility Framework. I’ll work with the organizers of the Twin Cities .NET User Group to get that session back on the schedule some time 2011. Between now and then I will be posting a multi-part series on MEF, so stay tuned!)
