On to the PDC: Panels
As you might have heard we are
planning to do some panel discussions at the PDC. The idea is to get an extended Q&A
time with recognized technical leaders inside and outside of Microsoft.
I have been kicking around a couple
of ideas… None of these are done deals, but I wanted to get your thoughts on
these and any other comments you have:
1. CLR
Explained
I’d get 4-5 of the key architects on
the CLR team to answer your questions on how the CLR works, what best practices
we have learned in writing managed code inside MS, how to get the best perf out
of the managed code, etc. Ideas of who you’d like to see
there?
2. Programming Languages for the
.NET Framework
We did this at the 2001 PDC. My thought is to get some of the leaders
in the programming language community (inside and outside of MS) to explain what
the new advances in their languages and how they are leveraging new CLR
concepts. I’d get a good sampling
from the mainstream C#\VB to Cobol and Eiffel, etc. This was popular last time.. is it sill
something interesting? If so, who
do you want to hear from?
Other
ideas\comments?
