Unplugged Tour – Windows 7 and Silverlight 3

Unplugged website 

Nigel, Nathan and I are on the road again in May/June to talk about Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2 and Silverlight 3.

Nathan is covering Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 from an IT Pro’s perspective with no nonsense technical sessions that cover the improvements and new features of these two products. Nigel and I are doing developer focussed sessions with Nigel talking about Silverlight 3 and covering some of the upcoming features that were announced at Mix 09. I will be talking about developing applications for Windows 7 and taking advantage of some of the new features in your own applications and how to make sure your applications are ready for Windows 7. There’s even an optional Installfest at the end if you want the Release Candidate installed on your test machine.

Once again we are visiting a good number of cities: Palmerston North, Tauranga, Hamilton, Auckland, Christchurch, Dunedin and Wellington. You can find out more details and register here.

Hope to see you there!

Just wanted to say that I really enjoyed the talk. Although afterwards I realised that I should have left this comment on the eval form :)

While I thought the content was really good (I did the two developer sessions) a conversation at the break sparked a thought. I think that maybe it was a little too early to do a tour for Windows 7 and Silverlight 3.

I understand that you guys want to build it up to get people adopting it early, but I think developers become distracted from the here and now. I love the bleeding edge, and always tinker, but I find it hard saying to my boss, 'we should build this now, even though I know that there is going to be something better in 8 months.'

While I love hearing about all the cool new upcoming things (I must admit, I had already watched Hanselman's screencast of Nigel's application, but it was great to see it, and with a bit more detail) perhaps there could be other sessions that promote the new tools while still focussing on what is available for the existing ones in more detail (until, say, 3, months out...)

Just some feedback anyway :) Thanks muchly guys!
