First of all, I will be giving two talks: the first on Application Compatibility in Windows Server 2008 outlining the top issues developers need to be aware of when developing for it, and second, a talk on Transactional NTFS as it pertains to Windows Server 2008. </p> <p>Also, I will be &quot;manning&quot; the Ask The Experts booth for Windows Server 2008. So if you want to chat about Windows Server 2008 (or just say hello), make sure to drop on by (I will have the hours I plan on working the booth posted there at the booth).</p> <p>Here's a rundown:</p> <ul> <li>Monday, 3pm - [INF203] WS08 For Developers - App Compat, Tent 1 </li> <li>Thursday, 4:30pm - [INF307] WS08 For Developers - Transactional NTFS </li> </ul> <p>I'm also hoping to attend some sessions myself. These will mostly be around C++ (TLA323, TLA302, TLA404, etc.). </p> <p>So, if you're going to be at the conference, please, drop on by the Ask The Experts booth for Windows Server 2008 and say hello!</p><img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=5905895" width="1" height="1">Windows Server 2008TxFMicrosoftPresentationApp Compathttp://blogs.msdn.com/jolson/archive/2006/08/28/728941.aspxTue, 29 Aug 2006 00:07:10 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:728941jolson5http://blogs.msdn.com/jolson/comments/728941.aspxhttp://blogs.msdn.com/jolson/commentrss.aspx?PostID=728941<p>Yup, I said it. PowerPoint as a teaching tool? It's broken. It's broken badly. And unfortunately, there is a good number of people out there who either don't realize it, or don't care.</p> <p>First of all, thanks <a href="http://sethgodin.typepad.com/">Seth Godin</a>. Seth <a href="http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-4101280286098310645&amp;hl=en">gave a presentation</a> at GEL 2006 recently (link via <a href="http://www.presentationzen.com/">PresentationZen</a>, via <a href="http://www.sellsbrothers.com">Chris Sells</a>), where he talked about things that are broken. He mentioned in the video that from now on out, we will start making the same observations and share with him one of his annoyances. Well, he didn't lie. It's only 24 hours later, and I'm starting to think of certain things as "broken".</p> <p>This concept of "PPT As A Teaching Tool" that people seem to like? Again, it's broken. Now, as a Technical Evangelist, I think education is a big part of our job. We not only need to educate ISVs and other business partners, we need to educate other Microsoft employees, and we need to educate the community. Using PPT as a major "Teaching Tool" though? Broken. Borked. Use the right tool for the right job. If you are wanting to provide "a resource" to educate people though, don't use PowerPoint, please! ...
