So it is all over

So what are my final thoughts on TechEd developer 2006? Well I think the split of Developers from IT Pros works. In my opinion this is the best TechEd I have been to from a content quality and relevance point of view, in the past there have been too many sessions on IT Support issues. Also it is good...

TechED Swag - Feeding the developer

As all of the developer community knows , developers live on caffeine and freebies , for example a .NET 3.0 FX T-Shirt can keep a developer alive for over 2 weeks , a hat and pen will keep a developer going for over a week, and a rucksack or Jacket for several months. TechED has been a bit lite on Swag...

TechEd Day 3

Most interesting session for me today was on ' Offline Caching and Synchronization with a New ADO.NET Sync Framework'. T his can be summed up as making Smart Client applications behave like Outlook i.e. occasionally connected, but all done without the user having to be involved. Thus allowing the application...

TechED 2006 so far

So far the quality of presentations at TechED has been fantastic , the only downside technically so far has been a dead machine ( now rectified ). The must see slots have been by Roy Osherove , Anders Hejlsburg , Aaron Skonnard and Todd Bleeker. My favorite so far was a white boarding session with Aaron...

Half way there...

End of the second day and just got back from the UK Party, the only real big social event at this party lite TechEd.

One day down...

So the first day is over and where have I been? we most of the day I have been in the Kimberly Tripp sessions on SQL optimization. All three have been excellent, but what as a day-to-day C# developer (as opposed to an SQL developer) have I learnt. Well it can be summed uo as any guess I make over indexes...

Richard's first thoughts on TechEd Barcelona

It is a feeling of deja-vue, having been to the PDC last year the keynote was very similar; but that is what you would expect as PDC is an inspiring futures' event and TechEd, especially at this point in the release cycle is a ' its here now use it' event. On the more futures side the LINQ demo's are...
