During PDC2008, aside from the keynotes and pre-conference “Performance by Design” I went to the following sessions:
- TL02 – Under the hood: Advances in the .NET type system
- TL16 – The future of C#
- TL52 – Team Foundation Server 2010: Cool new features
- TL09 – Agile development with Microsoft Visual Studio
- TL23 – A lap around “Oslo”
- TL27 - “Oslo”: The language
- TL20 – Entity Framework futures
- TL26 – Parallel programming for managed developers with the next generation of Microsoft Visual Studio
- TL18 - “Oslo”: Customizing and extending the visual design experience
- TL28 - “Oslo”: Repository and models
- TL15 – Architecture without big design up front
- TL36 – Microsoft .NET Framework: Declarative programming using XAML
- PC49 – Microsoft .NET Framework: CLR futures
- TL31 - “Oslo”: Building textual DSLs
- PC32 – ASP.NET AJAX futures
I was rather disappointed this year by the varied quality of the sessions, plus the not-so-matching session descriptions / session levels.
