Notes on Billy Hollis's Talks

I read quite a few Billy Hollis's articles from VB.NET columns, but I never meet him in person until this "P & P" summit. He gave two talks at "P & P" Summit : "Smart Client Case Study" and "Re-engineering to support workflow." Here are some notes from his talks:

• If we try to convert a legacy system to an .NET application, read his slides first for the lessons he learned.
• Declarative programming is what you want whenever possible
• Deal with developers who are not familar with .NET programming
• Workflow = Work + Flow
• Service Broker is the best for "Work"
• BitTalk is good for "Flow"
