MIX09 Day 1 Keynote

I woke up super early this morning and watched the MIX keynote live (Here are my live tweets). I must say even though I knew a lot of what was coming it was great to see it all presented together.

You can watch the keynote on demand below (the download links aren’t live just yet).

Tim Sneath has the best live blog of the keynote that I can find so why re-invent the wheel I say!

• MIX09 Day 1 Keynote Pt 1: Bill Buxton on Experience Design
• MIX09 Day 1 Keynote Pt 2: Scott Guthrie on Advancing User Experiences

Tim Heuer has also blogged A guide to Silverlight 3 new features

Ben Waggoner has blogged: Silverlight 3 Beta - What's New for Media

The Big News Tickets for me so far are:

• The SilverStripe Story (mainly because I worked on it)
• The new IIS Media Services specifically Live Smooth Streaming
• SuperPreview (view in IE6 without IE6 installed ;)
• SketchFlow in Blend 3
• The release of Silverlight 3 beta and the Blend 3 Beta at http://tr.im/sl3beta
