Tucked away in the UC Q&A was a little missive that got us all teary-eyed and whistful…(and by that we mean joyous and thrilled)
The Web ADFs will be deprecated in the next release after ArcGIS Server 10.
All those who have lost sleep, hair, or years of their life trying to build applications with the WebADF (or trying to support it!) we feel your pain and offer you this chance to grieve. Or just drink beers and commiserate with others who feel your pain.
Details: Tuesday July 13th, sometime after 6:00pm, the faithful will gather at Dicks Last Resort.
I will be there!
Undoubtedly, it’ll be good to share a pint with some folks who’ve also gone deep with Web ADF (we’re just emerging out the other side of our REST transition). My two cents at http://blog.geocortex.com/2010/07/08/web-adf-deprecation/ See you there Dave!
#esri has even managed to provide us with something that has proven to be even more painful; #dojo
after supporting, literally, the ADF for three years, i’ll have to attend!
