Himalia at the Microsoft Architect Forum / Santiago / Chile
Microsoft (through Wilson Pais) invited me to talk in the first Architect Forum of the year in Santiago de Chile.
I also used this opportunity to visit a friend of mine who lives there, Hugo Cortés. I meet him for first time in March 2004 when he come to Montevideo -as a member of Un Techo Para Chile- and helped us to create Un Techo Para Uruguay, a non-governmental organization that help houseless people in my country. I'm outside the organization now (because you can't do everything at the same time), but I really feel as a member of it... technically, I'm one of the founders ;)
Back to the Architect Forum, Alejandro Pacheco made a discussion about the available technologies for the presentation layer. After that, Martín Cabrera introduced Domain-Specific Languages, and showed a mini-example. Then I presented Himalia and finally, Carlos Carminati and Luis Molfino presented their company and what are they doing.
In the picture, from left to right, you can see to Martín Cabrera (Microsoft), Carlos Carminati (d2B), Luis Molfino (d2B), Alejandro Pacheco (Microsoft) and me.
My presentation was specially discussed with the people, so I think they enjoyed it ;) I already know that the Himalia proposal is disrupting, and it's great when people keep thinking about these ideas.
This photo was taken by Luis Molfino, as you can see he's an artist :)
I want to thank you to Martín Cabrera and all the Microsoft Chile team. Surely we will meet again in the near future...
