Hey gang,
Well…I’ve got a final draft list of the client track sessions. There may be some small changes, but this is where I’m at right now. Note that I revised my earlier pillars a little and reduced them to three main themes:
- Office Smart Client – a track dedicated to helping developers understand how they can leverage the suite of Office products to build great client-side applications or extend the client to build Office-based solutions.
- Office Business Applications (OBA) – a track dedicated to helping developers understand the why, what and how of building OBAs and then also integrating other key Office technologies into their OBAs.
- Hands-on Practice – a track (comprising HOLs) that provides developers with an opportunity to get some hands-on experience in Office development.
I’ve also developed what I thought would be a good way of navigating the sessions in this track - see attached UpdatedODCClientTrack.jpg. This gives you some insight into the ways in which I’ve tried to structure the tracks and the ways in which you might cross-navigate the different areas to maximize your time in this track. I will be putting together a cross-track map so you can get a sense for how you might navigate the sessions across all of the tracks to optimize your learning at ODC.
Also, I’d be interested in hearing any comments (or questions) you have for this track. I wanted to provide broad coverage across the Office system at the same time provide some coverage of new and exciting technologies (e.g. WPF, LINQ, etc.) that developers really want to learn more about.
