I attended Microsoft PDC 2003 from Oct. 26 to Oct. 30, 2003 in Los Angeles.

The upcoming ASP.NET Whidbey is way cool with MasterPage, SiteMap, Membership, etc. I cannot wait to use it.

Windows Longhorn looks very interesting. “Avalon” allows us declare UI using XML. XAML is broad enough to cover the description UI, vector graphics and documents. It has the capability of PDF + SVG + more. WinFS allows us to store additional information with files.

Finally, Microsoft SQL Server “Yukon” has some exciting new features such as managed stored procedures, recursive query and a reporting service.
