Professional Developer Conference 2010 (PDC10) registration is now open. PDC10 will be held October 28 – 29 at the Microsoft Conference Center in Redmond, WA where leading-edge developers and architects will gather to hear firsthand from Microsoft’s leaders about the next generation of Cloud Services, Phone, Tools & Technologies, Internet Explorer and Gaming Platforms.

Register at PDC10 Registration.

The PDC isn’t just about content and sessions – it’s an opportunity for you to get hands-on access to the latest technologies, have your questions answered by the people who conceived and built the technologies and plan the features and architecture to support your business goals. If you’re a developer, architect or technology leader involved in making strategic technology decisions for your company or organization, you can’t afford to miss the PDC.

Online Event

This PDC will be a completely online event. This year’s groundbreaking event will include live streaming of the keynotes, as well as concurrent live streaming of sessions.

Sessions

The sessions will be separated into three tracks:

• A Cloud Track that will focus on all cloud services topics with an emphasis on the Azure Services Platform
• A Client Track that will focus on all client topics including Windows Phone 7, IE9, and much more.
• A Frameworks Track that will go deeper into the inner working of.NET than at any previous event.

During the two day event, we will include about 30 live sessions that go very deep into specific topics in the above tracks.

For anyone that needs to quickly come up to speed on a specific topic before watching the deep content presented at PDC10, we will publish links to previously recorded content that can be used to fill in background info as needed in advance of the event. In addition to live sessions presented at the event, we will also release a large number of newly recorded sessions that are meant to complement the deep sessions presented live at the event.

Videos

Videos are available of many of the PDC09 sessions. See PDC Videos.
