Hi Folks...
The 1st ever Microsoft Mobile & Embedded Developer Conference in India – MEDC-India 2006 – was held at Bangalore’s Grand Ashok Hotel during the 4th-6th April 2006.
Aarthi and I delivered a session on Creating Custom Controls For Managed Code With Designtime Support In Visual Studio 2005, targeted at folks indulging in custom control development on .NET CF.
We enjoyed delivering the session and the response from you guys was awesome. It was really nice talking to you guys. Thank you for all the feedback. We are looking forward to meeting you again and please keep the feedback coming in. Please also feel free to contact me at parthad at microsoft dot com if you need any help from us.
In case you want the session material, it is attached (MOB301 - MEDC2006.zip). It contains the slides as well as the demos and walkthroughs.
On a lighter note, we did take a couple of photos. Here is one of them:
The guy closest to the camera is Anand. The 13 year old kid is Aarthi. Partho is on her left. Sriram on her right. Varada on Sriram's right. On Partho's left is Amit and on his right is Gopinath.
Oh another thing... We met the great Doug Boling. The guys is simply awesome - delivering 5 back-2-back sessions in a single day - all hardcode WinCE kernel related! Manav and I had beer with him and talked about everything from why Hillary Clinton would/wouldn't become the President to what sux in Visual Studio 2005!
Thats all for now... See you in a while!
