Oomph Live at the Microsoft Professional Developers Conference

Nov 03, 2008 In News By Karsten Januszewski

I will be speaking about Oomph at the PDC, which you can see up on the PDC sessions page. Tim, the designer on the project, will be there as well as Thomas, our fearless leader. We'd love to meet with folks if you are down in LA, so please feel free to get in touch if you'll be there.

Here's more on the session itself (formatted as an hCalendar using the event Windows Live Writer plug-in.)

Oomph: A Microformats Toolkit @ PDCMicroformats are about enhancing the web, representing data using HTML. Targeted at web developers and designers, Oomph makes it easier to create, consume, and style Microformats. Oomph is an amalgamation of applications: an Internet Explorer Add-in written in C++; a cross-browser HTML overlay written in JQuery; a Virtual Earth visualization that geocodes on the fly; a set of beautiful CSS styles; and more. Hear how and why we built it, as well as how you can be part of the burgeoning Microformat movement.Wednesday, October 29, 2008 3:00 PM to 4:15 PM

I'll also be hanging at the client track lounge on Tuesday. From what I understand, Scott Hanselman, Jesse Liberty, and some other interesting MS folks will be there at that time as well. Here's that event formatted as an hCalendar as well!

UPDATE: We're back from the PDC and sorting through how all the announcements will affect our plans for Mix Online.  The folks over at our sister site, Channel 9, did a great job of getting all the sessions recorded and posted.  As such, our talk about Oomph is now available for viewing and can be found here.

Very interesting technology. A good motivation to get learning Javascript now that the tools are more powerful and projects like Oomph lead the way for more interesting use of the browser…
