Topic
Live From Vegas: A Mix 09 Overview
Abstract
This session will cover the highlights from the Mix 09 (http://mix09.com) conference in Las Vegas, NV. There were many large announcements, including the release of Internet Explorer 8, Silverlight 3, and Expression Blend 3. We will cover the new features of IE8, including Web Slices, Accelerators, and how they are useful to developers. We will also be taking a look at a new tool for developers called Super Preview, which allows us to manage the "browser differences" we have all come to hate in a simple visual way. Finally, we will be taking a look at a new rapid prototyping tool called SketchFlow. This tool has the potential to change the way you begin constructing software in the future.
