Penguicon 4

Penguicon is rocking.

My demos went poorly on Friday regarding Mono and ASP.NET.

http://home.comcast.net/~jrwren04/Penguicon4.0/ASPNETMonoIntro/Presentation.html

But I think the overall message of the presentation was well recieved. I tend to NOT put all the points I make on slides. The ASP.NET presentation is indicative of this. It is only 5 slides. There is a title, 2 pictures, an analogy and a list of references.

Saturday’s Mono GUI apps panel went awesome. There were times where I could hear the audience awe when I showed the GTK# app I built using MonoDevelop on Dapper was copied to windows and executed. I did the same for a trivial Windows Forms app built using Visual Studio 2005 and the executable ran fine in Mono on Dapper. Thank you Ubuntu. Thank you Mono.

I wanted to simply demo some GTK# apps on Ubuntu, but my VMWare image doesn’t have any interesting photos for f-spot or music for Banshee. I thought I would remote X run my app from home, but I stumbled upon Xorg on Dapper lacking LBX support. I think the deps have changed in 7.0. I filled a bug and I’m working to fixing it.
