With the advent of Calais 2.1 and SearchMonkey, it appears that semantic technologies can become a must-have tool in a developer’s war chest.

From a developer's perspective, Tech Ed 2008, which attracted over 6000 developers to Orlando, doesn't offer much that's completely "new;" however, it does offer a great deal of value for developers who need to find out about existing technologies. If there's a single overview word that one might use to describe the thrust of the conference, it's "unification."

The FiveRuns and RailsEnvy guys created videos for the Rails Conference, which just ended. They showed one of the videos before every keynote (you might remember last year’s Mac vs. PC / Rails vs. PHP ads too, which were also hilarious).
