Microsoft's message from the PDC2008 in a few Wordles

Introduction

This week I was evaluating a browser UI test automation framework for .NET from ArtOfTest, Inc. The framework is called WebAii. I was quite impressed. After a few hours of experimenting I was able to automate the clicking of nested context menus in the Component Art ASP.NET tree view control. This would have been impossible with the existing UI automation tools on the market. With WebAii it was a piece of cake. I was also impressed with the quick feedback from their community. With these new tools and skills under my belt I automated the reading of titles, tags and descriptions from the sessions page of the PDC2008 web site. I saved the words in a text file and had Wordle generate a couple of random tag clouds for me. Here are the results:

Here are a few of the other designs that Worlde generated randomly and that I found decent enough to add the this little gallery.
