I'm happy to announce our organization work is coming to fruition.

Bleeding Edge 2008 is taking the stage for the autumn season.

Official site, Registration, Sponsors

Go for the early bird registration (till September 12^th). The time is now.

Potential sponsor? Here's the offering.

Daniel Cazzulino, one of our breed, shares this perfect blog posting about a super efficient way of passing XML data as XML, but without loading full DOM on the server side.

Started here and here.

I especially like the availability of arbitrary positioning of XPathNavigator to only serialize the bits you are interested in.

The only limitation of this solution is that it does not ship with FX 1.0/1.1 and you have to be a master in XML to fully grok it. But hey, if you don't, you can still use XmlDocument as a return type. :)

I did not manage to meet Gretchen from Gretchen and Zoe yesterday, but I'm sure when I do, I'll talk to her about Oliver and Duncan.

Why?

This is my animal. And I know the feeling.

I just managed to get connectivity in my hotel and am about to go register in the Seattle congress centre for this year's MVP Global Summit event.

Even though I like Seattle, the weather is causing me to fallback almost to winter clothes.

Organization, as usually, is flawless. It seems the company really cares.
