DEV332: Enhancing Pinned Sites with Windows Internet Explorer 9

This was my second session at TechEd. (I described my first here.) This session is obviously focused on site pinning, one of my favorite topics. In this session, as I described the fundamental pieces to site pinning, I showed other implementations as well as a mock conversation of how I would demo to DotNetRocks.com (building out a demo for them through the presentation). The video can be found here.

This is the outline:
