I attended Remix Atlanta on Saturday (May 8th) and found it well worth the $25 to attend. The keynote by Brandon Watson on Windows Phone 7 was my favorite session of the day as it was my first exposure to Windows 7. At this point there is still a lot of details still being worked out by Microsoft such as the device specs, market place (very raw at this time) and pricing, but overall the Windows phone 7 looks very intriguing.
The conference offered 3 tracks: Windows Phone 7, Silverlight/Blend/Web and User Experience. I stuck with the Silverlight/Blend/Web track which included the following sessions:
- Silverlight 4 and Blend 4 Essentials
- Why Blend 4 has become Indispensable
- What's new in ASP.NET 4 WebForms
- Silverlight for the Enterprise
All were good but enjoyed Silverlight for the Enterprise the most of the 4 – it was the first time that I've heard of MEF and look forward to diving into it more. Another bonus was the free copy of Silverlight spy that I won in one of the sessions.
Definitely recommend attending it if the organizers offer it again in 2011.
