MEDC 2007: T-3 weeks and counting...

  • Article

Wow!  MEDC is almost here.  It hardly seems possible that in three short weeks, we'll be in Las Vegas and I will be presenting the first of my two sessions.

In the past couple of months, I have written, reviewed, edited and rehearsed the slides, developed demos and attended the dry runs (dress rehearsals) for each of the sessions being presented by the .NET Compact Framework team.  All that is left is (like my first music teacher used to say) to "practice, practice, practice".

If you are going to be at MEDC, the Schedule Builder (session planner) is now available to attendees.  I highly recommend checking out the sessions our team is presenting.
