A few weeks ago I attended MIX11 in Las Vegas. MIX is an annual event where Microsoft showcase their new web technologies. This year it was all about new versions of existing products, such as Windows Phone 7, Entity Framework, Silverlight, ASP.NET MVC, IIS, etc… Below is a summary of what was shared on both keynotes:
- Mango: code name for coming version of Windows Phone 7 (WP7).
- ASP.NET MVC 3 Tools update
- Entity Framework 4.1
- Silverlight 5 Beta
- NuGet
- IIS Express
- SQL Compact Edition 4
- Internet Explorer 10 Preview
