9月23日 Preparing for PDC 2008PDC (Professional Developer’s Conference) is the premier Microsoft’s event for developers. The exciting thing about PDC is that, contrary to TechEd, it does not happen every year. It only happens when Microsoft “has something new to say”. Because of that, its contents are somewhat foggy; the real news is “saved” for the event itself.
In no PDC was this most striking than PDC 2000 in Orlando. In the agenda you could see that there were only “general sessions” and absolutely no abstracts were published beforehand. Even then Microsoft managed to attract about four thousand curious developers to see what used to be called the “New Generation Windows Services”, now known as “.NET”. You can check at http://www.microsoftpdc.com/.
This year there are abstracts published, but the main focus – as far as I can tell – will be “Extending the Platform to the Cloud”. From a developer point of view it seems it’s a new set of APIs to stuff over the Internet in deeper ways that it’s now easily possible. There’s video about the strategy at http://channel9.msdn.com/posts/Dan/Countdown-to-PDC-2008-This-is-the-Software--Services-PDC-Plus-a-Hard-Drive-Chock-Full-oBits-is-a-PDC/.
And BTW, I just got the wind that there will be so many things delivered that they will give away a 160GB USB hard disk to each participant with the contents in!
I will be there. 评论 (1)
