The spring conference season keeps on chugging along. The MVP Summit and DevTeach just finished and TechEd is just around the corner. It will be interesting to see what effect splitting the conference into a developer week and an IT Pro week will have...

TechEd BOF Session: Strategies for Moving Your Microsoft Visual Basic 6 Investments to .NET

If you're not familiar with the concept, a Birds-of-a-Feather (BOF) session is an open discussion lead by a moderator who is not a Microsoft employee. The sessions are not presentations, there are no projectors. Unlike the Keynotes and Breakout sessions...

Things I Learned at TechEd 2007

Richard Campbell knows everything. DonXML has the power to find the bar with the shortest line at the attendee party. It's a gift. SharePoint 2007 is awesome, the Visual Studio 2005 tooling for SharePoint is not. Having a pink Martini spilled on you...

TechEd 2007

I made a last minute decision to go to TechEd this year. I need to cram on the new stuff in SharePoint and I thought this conference would be the best place to get started. After attending TechEd last year I wrote A Guide to Attending TechEd or PDC ....

A Guide to Attending TechEd or PDC

Good job dude! Putting out a guide to attending TechEd days after the conference is over. Yes, this was poor planning on my part but there will be other TechEds and PDCs and hopefully this will help people attending those conferences. 1. Arrive Early...

TechEd Days 5 and 6

Day 5 Like most days, this one started mid (ok, late) morning. Lunch was consumed with a discussion about a “goose” being in the “oven”. I still have no idea of what that was all about and, in the end, I’m not sure I want to know. The afternoon was filled...

TechEd Days 3 and 4

Day 2 I forgot one notable event on Day 2. That was the live recording of .NET Rocks! which was held over lunch. Carl and Richard interviewed Gert Drapers and Cameron Skinner on the newly announced Visual Studio Team Edition for Database Professionals...

TechEd Days 1 and 2

Day 1 My trek to TechEd started early, I left for the airport at 4:00am on Sunday for my flight to Boston. Fellow ObjectSharpees Barry and Dave were also on the flight, I guess they don't value sleep either. The good news was that I had plenty of...

Rob Windsor at Tech-Ed in Boston Next Week!

It seems that everyone who's someone is posting their Agenda for next week so I'm going to follow suit. You'll see I'm double booked Monday night and I have been known to change my intended schedule on a whim (particularly when drinks...

Fenway Baby!!!!

When I registered for TechEd I meant to go online and see if the Red Sox were in town, and if they were, grab me a pair of tickets. I'm a big baseball fan and Fenway Park is one of the two remaining classic parks in the game (the other is Wrigley...
