Day4 and 5 at TechEd Barcelona

22 November 2007 |

Well this might come a bit late but this is the first time since my last TechEd update, I got more than 5 minutes of free time. A lot of things are going on that kept me pretty busy, I promise I'm going to blog about them at some point ;-) in the near future. Let's get back on TechEd for now. As mentioned in my last TechEd post, Wednesday night (Day3) was Microsoft's regional delegates party. We ate at Red Lounge and if you notice the picture closely you'll see that everyone's plate is empty. That's because...

Day3 at TechEd Barcelona

08 November 2007 |

If you had only had tine for just one Session in this year's TechEd then I would definitely recommend Mike Taulty's one on Linq to Entities (is going to be repeated on Friday). If you didn't make it this year then I would suggest watching its replay at The virtual side as soon as it comes available. It's not just the subject (which is interesting as it is), it's also the fact that he's a great speaker, one that speaks with a lot of examples and demos and avoids lengthy power point presentations. I was lucky to see...

Day2 at TechEd Barcelona

07 November 2007 |

Tuesday, Day 2 of TechEd Barcelona, couldn't start better. After having probably the best breakfast ever at Hilton (the hotel I'm staying), I walked the 100 meters that separate my hotel from the convention center to get there. Unfortunately I was a bit late so I've decided to skip the first session I'd planned to attend and catch up with my emails and blogs before heading to the ASP.NET ask the expert booth for my second day of duty. Being there from 10.00 a.m. to 1.00 p.m. gave the opportunity to meet and discuss with some very...

First day at TechEd

06 November 2007 |

A what a day... Left home at 4.00 a.m. and arrived at Barcelona at 11.00, rushed to the convention center to register and then headed up to my hotel to check in. Then I left again and met some of the other Greek delegates and had lunch discussing our travel adventures (those that traveled with ALITALIA on Sunday lost their baggage, one ending up at Chicago!!). After that I watched the keynote of Soma which although pretty interesting in content wasn't what I expected and what I'm used to as a Microsoft event keynote. I feel that choosing Soma as...
