Nikhil Kothari's Weblog : MVP Summit slides and demo code

MVP Summit slides and demo code

Slide deck and code presented at the MVP Summit down in Rio.

Last week, I was down in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and gave a couple of talks on ASP.NET "Whidbey" and also a sneak peek at IIS7 (I've been busy working on some new stuff coming in IIS7 for the past few months, hence my inactivity of late). One realization I came to after the first of my two talks is that there is way too much new stuff in Whidbey to present in a couple of hours, and that too without delving deep into technical subjects as I would have liked to...

Anyway, slides and demo code are available. Couple of interesting things: slides include an animation that presents an overview of the Whidbey ASP.NET stack, and the demo code contains a custom control that integrates an HTML editor control into a custom Web Part.

After the summit, Vic, Daniel and I spent a day hanging out in Rio. Pictures to follow in the next post (probably tomorrow... almost have them ready...).

Just a quick note I forgot to add: most of the code should work... might need a few modifications at most because I was using the latest build of the product to highlight whats new in localization, the new directory naming scheme etc. The latter is probably the most significant change that will affect you - we now have App_Code instead of Code, App_Data instead of Data and so on... this is a change you'll see as well once Beta 2 (or I guess the next Community Tech Preview) gets out there.

The slashes in your URLs are the wrong way around - so the links don't work in conformant browsers.

Could you post your "Sneak Peak" at IIS 7 :-)

The demos I did using IIS7 probably did more justice than the slide deck (I actually whizzed through it to squeeze in the demos in the single hour session). If I were to summarize, I'd say the highlights are radically improved integration with ASP.NET, along with a new set of tools... wish I could talk and share more about it publicly today... but probably not just yet, but hopefully it will be soon enough, and not too long. In the meantime there's Whidbey with all the features it contains :-)

The Kernel Caching features in IIS6 are great when they can be used with .NET 1.1. I love the extra caching work coming with Whidbey. For IIS 7 you need better integration between the Kernel Cache and ASP.NET caching features.
