The 2008 Microsoft Professional Developer's Conference was the best PDC conference yet.  We had the opportunity of working closely with a number of different product teams within Microsoft to prepare for some of the technologies that they were announcing at the show.  As a result, we were able to integrate the following technologies with our CMS prior to the show, and demonstrated them in our booth:

• Windows Azure
• SQL Data Services
• ADO.NET Data Services
• ASP.NET Model-View-Controller
• LINQ
• Live ID

In addition to the technologies that we demonstrated in our booth, I had the opportunity of giving a demonstration in Andrew Bybee's session on building line-of-business applications using CRM.  The demo included a conference website that was hosted in Azure, based on our CMS, using ezGDS travel services, and tightly integrated with CRM Online.  Ben Riga was a great help (as usual) in lining up the required people within Microsoft to help pull this off on time.
