I have now just finished packing my suitcase and I am all geared up for the dev summit next week in Palm Springs. I am really looking forward to it since I have been really busy the last few months building a big ArcGIS Server Portal for a client. We released it on Wednesday so now it is all up and running. It will be nice with a few weeks break after months of really hard work.

Since British Airways cabin crew decided to start their strike tomorrow I had to reschedule my flight so now I am off to Las Vegas instead of LA. I will stay there for a night before heading towards Palm Springs on Sunday. We might stop at Lake Havasu on the way since I really like that place!

I have prepared my laptop with various geeky stuff so that I can use the time on the flight to do something useful. I have promised one of my mates (who is a designer) to do some Silverlight stuff for him. It will be quite interesting and a nice break from all the webadf stuff I have done lately. And the best part is that I can do it all in Silverlight 4 which is good (release next month!)!

The developer summit this year will hopefully be really good since ArcGIS 10 is due this year. I am part of the beta programme so I have been testing both the first and the second beta but it will be interesting to see what else ESRI will show us. I also hope that ESRI will have some nice surprises just like Microsoft usually have. The biggie last year was the Silverlight API (even though it wasn't really a surprise)!

There will also be a lot more user presentations this year which is good. My session about tips and trix in Visual Studio was voted through but I had to turn it down due to lack of time and that my colleague couldn't go this year.

You can now vote for which user presentations you would like to see at the Developer Summit in Palm Springs in March. The voting is open until the 7th of February. I had a quick look through now and it looks like most of them are related to ArcGIS Server.
If you would like to know more about how to use Visual Studio more effectively I would recommend this session: “Visual Studio 2008/2010 Tips and Tricks”. It has been prepared by myself and my colleague Rob Clark.
