PDC Slips

PDC Update

We are currently in the process of rescheduling this fall’s Professional Developer Conference. As the PDC is the definitive developer event focused on the future of the Microsoft platform, we try to align it to be in front of major platform milestones. By this fall, however, upcoming platform technologies including Windows Server 2008, SQL Server codenamed “Katmai,” Visual Studio codenamed “Orcas” and Silverlight will already be in developers’ hands and approaching launch, which is where we’ll focus our developer engagement in the near term. We will update this site when we have a new date for the PDC that is better timed with the next wave of platform technologies.

Microsoft Platform and Tools Roadmap

                        Thom Robbins, Director of .NET Platform Product Management, outlines Microsoft's platform and tools roadmap, including a discussion of .NET 3.0 in the market, as well as the upcoming frameworks and tools, .NET 3.5 and Visual Studio "Orcas."
 
Four years ago I was listening to Thom Robbins on MSDN webcasts, then he became Microsoft's Developer Evangelist for the New England Region where he originated the Code Camp concept.
 
I was lucky to be in Atlantic City NJ as Thom gave this Keynote at the Microsoft Health & Life Sciences Developer Conference
