#AUTechEd 2011

The condensed version

• Denali Always On for Mission Critical Systems: failing demo rather confused this one. And I don’t understand how it can be shared-nothing mirroring if it’s still based on a Windows cluster
• Abundantly "Crescent": MS’s answer for BI visualisation gets even more fragmented
• Practical Consolidation: when to go hard(ware), when to go virtual
• HTML 5 - The useful bits: some bits you can actually use! Now!
• Kinecting The Dots – Developing with the Kinect SDK: I want a Kinect
• What's new for Windows Phone 7.5 Games Developers XNA and Silverlight: it’s not either/or any more
• What's new in Windows Phone 7.5 for End Users and Enterprises: finally, targeted (‘private’) deployments
• There is no Web: HTML5 Offline, NoSQL and MVC 3: offline support not there yet. Avoid for now. No, really.
• Killer Real-World PowerPivot Examples: Grant is insane
• JavaScript with a view – advancing client side code: viewmodel driven MVVM for JS is a reality. Use it
• Science of Great UI: it is a science. It is important.
• Data Dashboards using Microsoft BI: why use the right tool for the job when you can just keep hacking till it works?
