What better way to find out what is going on in .Net development than to get it straight from The Gu himself?  We were invited back to PDC 2009 to cover all of the announcements and get the scoop on what the future is for Microsoft developers. We sit down with Scott Guthrie, Corporate Vice President of the .Net Developer Platform, and discuss the future of the web and especially Silverlight 4 and ASP.NET Webforms/MVC. We also discuss some interesting behind the scene moments of PDC.  But the most important question is what is The Gu’s favorite fried food?

In this episode, we sit down with Claudio Lassala to discuss Composite Applications in Windows Presentation Foundation.

Composite applications use loosely coupled, independently evolvable pieces that work together in the overall application. Claudio also discusses how Composite applications can allow for better testing and distributed development teams.  Ultimately we talk about Prism for WPF and Silverlight.
