Thanks to Stackexchange for sponsoring me to attend the Dev Summit! It was great to meet so many people who have been active here at gis.stackexchange. A couple of the videos from day 1 of the Dev Summit have been posted here. Over the next couple weeks more videos should get posted.

Here are some of the Dev Summit highlights for me:

ArcGIS Application Builder For Microsoft Silverlight

If you sign up for beta program you can download it. Installation on Win7 64bit was a bit tricky for me, but now is working. It is extensible via MEF, so even though the app you build is called a Viewer, it can be extended to support editing.

Side by Side (SxS) Runtime deployment for 10.1

GIS on a stick with Esri will be supported on 10.1. I wonder if I can have two development versions on the same machine. Read more on this thread.

Sessions

I attended some excellent user tracks and tech sessions, including:

• Enterprise GIS Using a Framework Approach - Silverlight
• Enterprise PDF Export Solution with a Single SOE
• Using Python to Glue it all Together
• Advanced Development with ArcGIS API for Microsoft Silverlight/WPF
• Advanced Development with ArcGIS API for Windows Phone

I'll update this with links to actual presentations when they are posted later.

GIS Data in the Cloud

I hadn't been following Azure, so it was news to me that spatial types are supported. Now if only microsoft could figure out a way to host a geometric network in Azure. Until then I'll need to use Amazon web services ... they said they might even host my geometric network for free. I heard rumors that Entity Framework will soon support spatial types. Esri continues to devote a lot of resources to ArcGIS Online. I didn't hear any discussion of the ArcGIS OnLine business model though.

Dodgeball (Next Olympic Sport?)

Couldn't get enough people together in time for a GIS.StackExchange team, but had a blast watching. Now if only I could remember those 5 D's ...

Update

Video of a Road Map for ArcGIS Server Developers has been published.
