As noted in previous posts, our team held a developer training day for Microsoft ESP this past week in Orlando, FL to a packed house. I was impressed at the variety of companies that were represented as well as the range of experience with modeling & simulation. This made for some great questions throughout the day!

There is definitely a lot to cover in a day like this, so choosing the topics we dig into has been an interesting process. Included is an overview of the ESP platform, its SDK and content - which is a large piece in itself. We also include walkthroughs of many sample applications from the SDK and the ESP Developer Center. Most of the code samples and demo's we cover during the training have been driven by questions from current developers and have been recently created. One of the published examples that has recevied a lot of questions recently is the C++ Gauge sample and its ability to render any content you need - particularly interested for customers who have legacy gauge code that they need to add to a current aircraft.

I'm looking forward to seeing the similarities, and differences, of questions and responses at our next event in London, UK on November 19th. It also looks like it will be a large audience. If you are planning to attend, I'm looking forward to meeting you.
