PDC 2003: Caching Birds of a Feather : Summary of Tips
I hosted a Birds of a Feather Tuesday night at PDC 2003 and we had about 25 or 30 people attend, including Rob Howard of the ASP.NET team (responsible for the caching featureset). I've published a summary of the tips along with some resource links we discussed at the meeting on AspAlliance.com:

PDC ASP.NET Panel Discussion - Non-Postback Callbacks to Pages
A new feature in Whidbey will allow controls to make calls directly back to page methods without making full postbacks. This features uses XMLHTTP behind the scenes and allows controls to talk to the server in an optimized fashion without requiring a full postback. In the 1.x timeframe, a solution for this which you can use today (and which actually may be simpler to implement based on what I've seen), is remote scripting. Remote scripting was available in ASP 3.x but wasn't widely known to most ASP developers. Jonathan Cogley of AspAlliance has written up a toolkit that makes implementing cross-browser remote scripting (non-postback callbacks to the server) very easy to implement in ASP.NET, including 1.x.

Tuesday at PDC
Managed to get to some sessions today, including the morning's keynote, which was lucky since I was out pretty late with a bunch of Codewise community members and Microsofties. The keynote was pretty cool, and included an excellent demo by Scott Guthrie as well as a fun demo of mobile control support by Batman. I spent most of the middle of the day in the expo hall talking to various vendors about what they're doing in the .NET space and how ASPAlliance and AspAdvice can help them reach the developer community.

Hope LAX Is Open For me...
Well, I'm leaving Ohio in about 4.5 hours for Atlanta, then getting into LAX (in theory) at 10am local time. Hopefully the airport won't be burned down or closed or anything. See everyone in PDC if I make it there.

34 Hours to Departure for PDC 2003
My flight leaves at 0535 Monday morning from Akron-Canton, getting me into Los Angeles at 0951. I figure I'll probably make it to the hotel by 11am and the convention center by noon, which means I'll miss the keynotes. :(
