PDC2008: The Future of the Microsoft Platform
Every year Microsoft hosts the Professional Developers Conference, a huge attraction for developers and architects who want to know where the Microsoft platform is headed. Typically this is the conference where they announce major changes like this year's demonstration of Windows 7. However, the conference registration alone runs around $2,500, which means that most legal aid techies won't be attending.
Fortunately Microsoft has recorded many of the sessions and made them available online, so that you can keep up with what is happening in the industry from the comfort of your office. Session topics include Visual C++, C#, creating secure SQL Server applications, how Silverlight works with Python, and more. - K
