Well this podcast was one of the highlights of my visit to the United States as part of the ASPInsiders summit. Most of the communications between Shanku, Nikhil and Wally as well, is all virtual so its great to be able to interview Shanku and Nikhil personally, along with "Sir Wally" himself.

Want to access a method within your page asynchronously using the Atlas framework? Its easy.

The ASP.NET Podcast show #21 is on the street. A bunch of ASPInsiders in a roundtable discussion (we'll actually sitting in a somewhat circular group in Wallys room) about some of the new .Net features.

Atlas promises a lot of things, and one of the things I wanted to mention was the way it brings a familiar .Net development paradigm to the javascript world. Atlas makes the javascript look very much like its .Net server side counterpart in terms of development framework. What does that mean? Well lets take an example.

Well the MVP Summit is now officially over. The event proved very productive for me and I got to meet up with many other MVP's and Microsoft staff that I had previously not met, in addition to those whom I had previously at the MVP summit last year. The MVP party was pretty cool and was held at the Sci-Fi museum near the Space Needle. Quite a cool place with lots to look at like the guitar museum, Sci-Fi museum, and they even provided a special Karaoke section.

Arrived in Seattle yesterday afternoon after approximately 20 hours of travel, dropped of my luggage (thank you luggage gods for allowing my luggage to safely arrive with me) at the Hotel (Red Lion on Fifth) and went straight off to MS Campus with Mitch, Darren, and Troy  (and met Martin Granell there) to go have a look at the future of GotDotNet workspaces. Like Jonathan Cogley has already mentioned, can't really say any more apart from things look very good indeed. BTW, take the time to check out the new CodeGallery site on GotDotNet.

As I mentioned in a previous post, I have been working with WSE3 and in particular a SOAP routing/intermediary system that grabs SOAP compliant messages from the body of an email message, validates the encryption and signature, forwards on after transforming it and a bunmch of other things, all using WSE3.

As I mentioned previously, Wally is firing hot. Check out the latest with an interview with (as Wally puts it) "the Oracle of Omaha - Kent Tegels".
