Day one of the Belgium Developer & IT Pro days is finished. I've been attending some inspiring sessions. First of all, Jelle Druyts showed us a quick overview of the Guidance Automation Toolkit. Interesting, and usable in many situations as standard Visual Studio templates do not always fulfill all your needs.
Afterwards, Jeff Prosise spoke on using background threads in ASP.NET web sites, and how this can speed things up (a lot!).
Another session was given by Doug Mahugh on OpenXML. Funny to notice my Prague co-developer also attended his session earlier this week.
