Session 9 was a WPF fundamentals section. Not very much to say about this. Good session, covered blend, XAML, and the API. I have a few ideas of some fun apps to try this out on…

Session 10 was a preview of a new Commerce Foundation that is being developed. Microsoft is looking to develop a platform based approach to e-commerce sites, similar to storefronts offered by Amazon and Yahoo. It is obviously based on WPF and XAML for quick and easy customization. Looks really great, but it is too early to tell, and it will probably not be as industrial strength and as customizable as we will need.
