TechEd being in Amsterdam did produce quite some spin-off for the non visitors. Monday the 28th the Dutch usergroup DotNEd had a meeting where both Juval Lowry and Ingo Rammer did a presentation on Enterpise stuff. We were flooded with information, some of the attendees perhaps even drowned. If you could draw one conclusion from everything presented it would be that enterprise features in .NET is a world in motion. And that they are highly misunderstood.

Ingo is a speaker who's running on perpetual energy, once he has started he can't be stopped any more. One of his stories perhaps describes the .NET enterprise world at its best. He did a well read book on .NET remoting. One of the readers had implemented a pattern with remoting events in an internet scenario with 1000's of users connecting. And complained that the app did not work to well :> Besides working on a second edition Ingo is now also working on a book about enterprise architecture. The problem is not how to write code, the framework classes make all of that not to difficult. The problem is when to use what.
