DevDays 2004 Israel

It's been Microsoft DevDays 2004 in Israel today. Well, DevDay actually. Here are the impressions I got there:

• One has to get up earlier to not miss the keynote.
• VS.NET has cool PocketPC emulator.
• Code Access Security is omnipotent.
• Lutz Roeder's .NET Reflector may hang out in the middle of a presentation.
• WS-Security is great and Yosi Taguri is bright speaker, but he scrolls code too fast.
• Zero Deployment is amazingly simple.
• They are really anxious about security nowadays. All attendants have been given "Writing Secure Code" book for free. Aaah, bookworm's joy. "Required reading at Microsoft. - Bill Gates" is written on the book's front page.
