Tim Huckaby gave a great presentation on Tuesday, 28 June, at CAPAREA.NET on Smart Clients.

I thought the highlight was an application that presented traffic conditions and actual traffic video in a smart device, like a PDA or smart phone. While even the best of information would be inconsequential in the overloaded traffic in the DC metro area, it was nonetheless impressive!

Tim touched on many of the features of the Whidbey release (.NET Framework 2.0) that will really be a pleasant surprise for developers building WinForm-based applications. Tim expressed a strong preference for WinForm (vice Web/browser-based) applications, where users can take advantage of rich-client interfaces.
