Welcome to the Singularity

So it is public now, and hence I am allow to blog about it.

Singularity is here!

Singularity is the first large-scale online web conference in the world, and you can be part of it.

This year, over 100 of the most influent minds on the web will be discussing and modeling what the future of the web will be like... of course after this year's MIX and MAX.

This conference is planned to take place in the cloud between October 24th and the 25th - so you won't have to go thru all the pains of booking flights, hotels, nor submitting expense reports, which makes it not only great, but greener.

The conference is being organized by multitasking Aral Balkan, which most of you people will know him for his work in the Flash Community, and his talking bunny.

The world as we know it is more interconnected now than ever before, twitter has become essential part of it and we even feel lonely when its service is down - well not everyone, but yes! there are people; and having a web conference on the web, and by the people from the web, will really set the roots for the kind of world we are all working to make reality.

Aral is still picking up on presenters, although there is already a list of really compelling people making in the elite. If you think you have what it gets to get people talking about the future or a service that can revolutionize the way we convey our life in the matrix, go ahead and mail them your idea - who knows you might end up being one of the stars on one of this year's best conference.

More info here.

Creating an Outlook look-alike with WPF and C#

A couple of weeks ago I wrote a post on Microsoft Educational Resources available on the web, this post in intended to recompile educational resources associated to Microsoft technologies, so that it will help jump start on some of its new stuff.

As part of this post I pointed to this hands-on lab, that Tim Sneath had previously posted, demonstrating how to create an outlook look-alike application using WPF and C#.

Since then I've seen people coming to this site looking for it and somehow Google have not done a perfect job indexing it, that's why I am giving it its own post now, so it will facilitate people getting here.

Link to the hands-on lab is here and files needed are here.

Enjoy!

I'll be hosting Ask the Expert for Microsoft eXpert Zone Latin America

Hi guys, just wanted to write really quick to let all know I'll be hosting a couple of sessions for Ask the Expert on the Microsoft eXpert Zone event for Latin America on going this week...

The first session was held this afternoon and I answered questions regarding WPF and best practices for data binding, the designer and developer role and a bit on WCF integration with WPF.

The second session will be next Thursday @ 11am CST, if you would like to join that session  please follow this link.

Apart from this 2 interactive sessions, on Thursday my Webcast on Rich Internet Applications will be available for on demand viewing here. I think Microsoft will roll this Webcast later on for anytime watching, but for now it will be available only on Thursday as part of this event.

Cheers!
