Mindscape at TechEd New Zealand

Tagged as News

The signs of spring are here — lambs frolicking in the fields, occasional glimpses of the sun, and of course TechEd New Zealand. As always, Mindscape will be there in force! We don’t have a stand this year, but you’ll be able to find us around the conference floor — or, in the case JD at the drinks evenings, on the conference floor* — or you can catch us at the following sessions:

• From KLOCs to Ka-Ching – The Business of Software (Monday 11:50)
• What’s New in C# 4 and Visual Basic 2010 (Monday 13:45)
• Kentico, N2, Umbraco – CMS FTW! (Monday 13:45)
• Bringing the Web to Life with jQuery (Tuesday 9:00)
• Code Different (Tuesday 10:40)
• ASP.NET MVC – What’s New and Cool in Versions 2 and 3 (Tuesday 14:55)
• Parallelise Your Parallel Applications In Parallel With the Microsoft Parallel .NET Parallel Extensions for Parallelism (Tuesday 17:25)
• LINQ Confidential – A Deep Dive Into How LINQ Works (Wednesday 11:50)

If you’re at TechEd, truck on up and say hello!

And while we’re talking conferences, don’t forget CodeCamp Auckland the day before TechEd — it’s not too late to register!

The serious bit

Since we’ll be pretty busy at TechEd, there’s likely to be some delay in responding to forums posts between Monday 30 August and Thursday 2 September. Please be patient — we’ll get back to you as soon as we can!

* JD has asked me to point out that this is a base slur. Last year, he reminds us, he was actually found in an Auckland pub trying to win a live crayfish to take home with him. Just so you don’t get the wrong impression.

1. Actually, for the record, it was James Newton-King of JSON.NET fame who was trying to catch a crayfish in a tank. I was just watching and laughing :-)

3. Lies without merit!

   Men of high standing will testify that after leaving TechFest I retired to dinner at an upstanding restaurant where the night was spent discussing politics and other current events.

4. Maybe MS should call it Techscape from now on ;-)

   P.S I remember the rumours and the King was all over them…
