Looks like Monday at WinDev is officially the "Day of" day. There is a "Day of Windows Forms", "Day of ASP.NET", "Day of CLR", etc. These primers cover the basics of the Everett (2003/1.1) generation of products. Ian and Brian are doing the day of Windows Forms. I've hung out there for a couple hours so far... it brings back a lot of memories. Horrible design decisions (like requiring 3 style bits for double buffering to work) and good ones (like consitent property change notification)...

I've spent some time getting my demos working. Unfortunately I didn't fully test the pure WinForms/Whidbey deployment demos before I left, and my VS installation is slightly hosed (luckily my C# Express install is solid) which means that I'll have to use a little bailing wire tomorrow. I'm planning on doing 4 demos:

• Whidbey Windows Forms "professional" look
• Whidbey Windows Forms deployment (ClickOnce)
• Avalon windows/web unification
• Avalon smart client application

Right now the deployment demo is probably the roughest... I'll practice it a few more times today.
