TechEd 2004 (May 23-28)
Anson and I are sharing a session at Tech Ed 2004. We'll be talking about some of the IDE features in Whidbey for C# developers. A number of members of the C# team will be presenting as well, you can search for session information at: http://www.msteched.com/content/breakouts.aspx.
I've done a fair few presentations on C# over the last 5 years and IDE presentations are my favorite. Anson and I are just planning the presentation now and we essentially want to have about 3 slides and dive into the product for the whole hour and show features, explain the rationale behind them and show how they all work together to make C# developers super-productive whether they are:
- Trying to understand the code they are looking at (or inheriting),
- Modifying their code, or
- Writing new code
We want to use the same product build that will be available at the conference so everyone will be able to duplicate the demos we do at the session. Normally we would just prepare a presentation but I'd love to hear what you would like to hear about. Should we:
- Prepare more slides and do less demos (I think I know the answer to that one)
- Use product builds newer than the ones that we give people at the conference if it shows people more of the final look and feel for the feature?
Essentially I'd love to hear about what you'd like us to do - it's early days for us and we'd like to understand what you'd like to see!
