A new blogger is in town :) Here name is Jessica Gruber  and she is consultant with Microsoft Consulting Services in the UK. She will present at two events:

UK Office Developer Conference (29 - 30 June at Heathrow outside London) where I'll be presenting on Developing InfoPath Forms using Managed Code and on Customizing and Branding SharePoint Portal Server and Windows SharePoint Services

TechEd Europe  (5 - 8 July in Amsterdam) where my topic will be “Office 12” Preview: Default Open XML File Formats.  Happily my session is the first one listed if you use the search tool and search for the "Windows Client Development" track!

I will visit the TechEd Europe and will drop by at here presentation. :)

I hope that this also will mean that the underlaying engine for development has gone through some changes. I have worked a lot with this engine and their are still some nasty issues there.

Lets hope and see :)
