As of today we have sold over 80% of tickets… and we haven’t released much information about what is going to be at Tech Ed. So here goes a quick update of the web track.
Tomorrow is my official day of Tech Ed, so before I go there, I thought I’d let you know where the web track is at
So far we have confirmed Scott Hanselman is coming. Scott will be doing three sessions which will include (at this stage) Astoria, Dynamic Data and the MVC framework.
We also have confirmed Hank Janssen. Hank is in the Open Source labs and will be doing a session on managing IIS, PHP on IIS and hopefully also a Open Source and Microsoft session (which will be interesting).
Harry Pierson will also be rejoining us for Tech Ed this year. Harry was in the architecture team, and has recently moved to the CLR team where he works with Dynamic languages. Harry will be doing a session on Dynamic languages and Silverlight as well as something in the architecture track (TBC).
One of my main jobs tomorrow is to sort out the glaring holes in the web track – namely around Silverlight and IE…
The other thing I’m working on is a Web Futures panel discussion which involves these guys (and hopefully some others) which will give you the opportunity to ask what these guys see the future of the web looking like. I’m interested in your feedback on this – do you think this would be a good thing to do? What questions would you ask?
Hi Darryl,
I’ve got to say that I think the panel discussion thing is a great idea – in my opinion, panel discussions like this have been one of the most glaring omissions from past Tech Eds in NZ, so it’s great that you’re planning to do this session this year!
