The PDC this year…

Not sure how many people are planning on attending the PDC (Professional Developers Conference) this year, but it is going to be a fantastic conference.

We announced some huge announcements on the PDC web site. http://www.microsoftpdc.com/

We have a major lineup of executive keynote speakers representing most of the core Microsoft businesses.
We’ll have 20+ Windows 7 sessions, and we’ll be giving out the Win7 bits.
We also announced our in-depth symposia sessions including parallel computing and S+S.

If you have any questions about the PDC, feel free to check out the site listed above, or you can Ask the Brain.

The conference runs from October 27th to October 30th with the pre-conference on October 26th. You can see the full agenda here.

We have also just announced that all partners and customers attending the PDC will receive a very special gift this year: a 160GB external USB2 hard drive with all of the bits! That is a very cool gift and very useful as well. I’d love to hear if anyone is going or thinking about going to the PDC!

Using .NET for Mobile Applications

Chris Craft has done a great job in getting a lot of people excited over using .NET for Mobile Applications. He has created a new application each day for 30 days. Some of these are not too complicated, but they are all very cool. With some going way beyond what you would expect for such a short period of time.

My favorites are:

GPS Compass
Mobile Tipper
Mobile SMS Remote
GeoCash
CallBlocker
Trippr

You can check out these and all of the other applications he has created on his blog. The great thing about these programs, is that he includes the source code as well ! Enjoy.
