A little PDC update from my teammate Chris Bowen from up in New England…
The Professional Developers Conference (PDC) is November 17-19 in Los Angeles, and will be one of the best ways to get your fill of the latest developer tech: PDC Site PDC Behind the Scenes PDC What’s Happening PDC on Twitter Content Tagged PDC09 on Channel9 I went last year (and just confirmed I can make it again this year) and it’s several intense days of conversations and content. You can get an idea of what’s in store by reviewing the session recordings from PDC 2008, available for free. Birds of a Feather Sessions The Birds of a Feather (BOF) sessions are a great way to connect with other attendees and build from each others’ experiences. ("What is a Birds-of-a-Feather Session?") A number of BOF sessions will be selected and scheduled throughout PDC. Though some sessions have been scheduled, it’s not too late to propose a session idea of your own! Submissions are open through tomorrow (Friday 10/30) at 5PM PDT. You can also follow BOF on Twitter. Free Pre-Conference Windows 7 Bootcamp The day before PDC (11/16) is an opportunity to attend a number of excellent paid pre-conference workshops on a variety of topics. You can also sign up for a free Windows 7 Developer Boot Camp that’s open to everyone (not just people attending PDC.) Other Goings On Hands-on Labs, Ask the Experts, The Big Room PDC Tweet Up Women in Technology Networking Luncheon Meet the WCF, WF, and “Dublin” Teams Windows 7 Application Compatibility Testing and Logo Program Screening of the Visual Studio Documentary $300 Discount Ends Friday, 10/30 There’s a tiny window remaining to register for PDC with a $300 discount. Make sure you register by the end of Friday, 10/30. -Chris
