Luca at PDC 2009 next week

Luca Bolognese - Nov 2009

I’ll be in Los Angeles next week for PDC 2009. My session is called “Future Directions for C# and Visual Basic” and it comes on Tuesday immediately after the ﬁrst keynote.

I’m planning on spending the ﬁrst half of the session talking about the biggest trends inﬂuencing C# and VB. The second part will be about more future looking features we are playing with these days.

My deck has just two slides, as always. It’s all about watching me typing code on stage, hoping that I make crazy errors …

There are several other interesting language related sessions at PDC. Here is a list of them (please notice that the times might change). Also feel free to drop by the languages booth and chat. My team and I will be there most of the time.

The event is in LA: http://microsoftpdc.com/
They usually post some of the sessions on the web site for free viewing. I don’t know how the pick which ones. Also they might sell the dvd with all the sessions (not sure).

Do you have a link to a video of your presentation? I’d like to watch it but couldn’t ﬁnd a video on the PDC website.

They post them sometimes after the event (I think). Maybe in the upcoming days …

I wish I could be there, but it’s hard to get away during the school year. I look forward to seeing the videos.
