Walter's Technology + Travel Space

Over the last weekend, I was travelled together with Patrick (Sharepoint MVP) and Jabez (File System MVP) to Kuching to meet with Ming Man (C# MVP) to host a event known as “devInTown”. My session of the day is “Ultimate Data Visualization with WPF” – which basically WPF/UX related talk.

The poster above was designed by Windy Teo (APAC MVP Team).

Ming Man in action – Topic “CRUD using LINQ in C#”

I think Ming Man trying to teach LINQ to his 10 years old kids.

Patrick Yong (Sharepoint MVP) sharing the Sharepoint Vision with the crowd.

Not sure the “07” printed on his t-shirt means – Office 2007 :)

That’s me in action – obviously I’m so excited to share the WPF demo with my crowd

Am I look serious? hahahah

The youngest MVP in Malaysia in action – Jabez Gan (still look like a kid right) :P hahahah

Able to take some time to shoot some photos in Kuching. I love Kuching as it is so much green. So natural

This coming Saturday 27th June 2009, couples of other Malaysian MVP will be having a developer event in Kuching. For those of you who stay in East Malaysia feel free to attend. Or if you want to recommend it to your friend, you can direct them to the following website.

I’ll be delivering a session as well - Ultimate Data Visualization Experience with WPF
Catch me in Kuching if you want to learn and understand how to built some stunning data visualization application.

Many of you might know that Microsoft launched it second wave of downsizing practice early of this week. Many of my friends who work in Microsoft world-wide do worry about their future. However one of the every unexpected news is MSFT eliminate Steve Riley. THe last time I attended his session is few months ago when I was in US for MVP Summit.

His session is one of the few security session that I attended. In general, he is a professional security speaker who know is domain quite well, knowledgeable and good in telling jokes ;) (if you realize the jokes is actually telling you the fact).

The Microsoft Teched or other conference in future might not be the same again as MS lost one of their top speaker.

Unbelievable!

Nowadays, many developer might forgot about what is Win32 API and don’t appreciate the API. Well, it is because a lot of things has been take care by .Net Framework.

Had you ever wondering, when you run the code below, what has been trigger to ask the OS to show you a window?

Dim Form1 as New Form()

Form1.show

At the bottom line is all about Win32 API. The problem is coding with Win32API is quite difficult. Fortunately, my peer aka Bugslayer is the expert in this field. Win32API is his forte!

He started to blog few days ago, stay tune for some interesting contents from his blog.

His blog is known as NTStatus (wondering why? refer Win32API)

When I was in US for MVP Summit a month ago, I got invited by Lilian to have a video shooting session.

Basically in the video,  I just share a little about what is my MVP competency about, where I from and of course what is my contribution to the community.
