TechEd 2008 Wrap Up

TechEd 2008 Wrap Up 05 Sep 2008 10:55

Its done! TechEd 2008 is over, and we are all back in Wellington getting back to work. The last few days have been exciting and geeky :) Just how it should be..

Once again I had a great time absorbing new ideas, catching up with colleagues and new acquaintances in the community and delivering a session or two. Starting with Code Camp on the Sunday with our epic "Bet you havnt seen a demo of the Fire Alarm before!!" trick, JD, Ivan and I had a blast presenting our 8 sessions across the 4 days.

I delivered 3.5 sessions, starting with SQL Server 2008 New Features (photo above) and was delighted to have some great turn outs - thanks to everyone who came along, hope you enjoyed the sessions! :)

All of my presentation slides have been made available on TechEd Live - you can download them from here:

And if you have Silverlight installed, you can even watch a video of my SQL Server session if you are keen ;)

For those of you keen to get a hold of some of the demos or code samples from my sessions, I will be looking to get these up soon - as mentioned I will be aiming to place the Film Festival sample up on Codeplex shortly as well.

So whats in store for TechEd 2009? Well, Ill be off in a couple of months to PDC 2008 to find out :)

"Bet you havnt seen a demo of the Fire Alarm before!!" I'm disappointed JD hasn't already worked this into the marketing. "LightSpeed -- a product so hot, even a video of it sets off the fire alarm!"

This sky tower photo, I saw it on Adam's page and my first reaction was "why photoshop a photo like this?" So apparently it's not a photoshop picture. :D

Still waiting on those code samples. Specifically wanted to see the IoC you seemed to have done for the Velocity demos.
