TechEd 2005, Chennai

Another edition of TechEd comes to an end. This TechEd had an separate Architecture track, which makes a reappearance after a year or two.

I attended a few Architecture sessions and then spent quite a bit of time in the community stalls. We gave out some cool car stickers about Microsoft Communities..:-)

MS India is running a contest, where the best blogs on TechEd India can win some cool gifts. You write one or more posts on the TechEd experience and then send a mail to [email protected] with links to the posts.

TechEd 2005

It is TechEd time again. The Chennai Edition of TechEd 2005 is going to take place from tommorrow.

This year, I am going to spend time proctoring in the Hands on lab and of course, I will also be spending time at the CNUG/Community/MVP booth.

If you are coming to TechEd do drop in to the community booth.

Off to TechEd India

TechEd India 2004 starts today at Chennai. TechEd in India has always been unique in that we have it happening in multiple cities inside India. This time it is happening in four major cities. Chennai is the second one.

I am handling two sessions this time.

TechEd India - Final Day

Yesterday was the last day of TechEd India. This was the first time I was able to really go and attend a session or two...:-)

Quite a good series of session on the Web Services track on WSE and how to use the new WSE 2.0 stuff. I have kind of been away from getting too deep into WS and the new things in WSE 2.0 really was interesting.

And the final closing note had a long demo of different features of Longhorn.. Avalon looks cool. That to the rotated listbox created with XAML was real cool.. And the first look at WinFS kindled my imagination...

Another year goes by and another TechEd ends....

Glimpses from TechEd India, Chennai - Day 1

A few photos from Deepak's Camera taken at the Communities Stall we had put up there. Most of the Chennai MVPs are there as well as a few volunteers who worked in the stalls.

I am the guy with the beard....:-)

TechEd Day 1

Well day before yesterday was day 1 of TechEd. Well I did not have too much time to get to all the Sessions as this time we had a seperate stall at TechEd for the Community and for CNUG. We ran a quiz there and gave out a few books and CNUG caps.

It has been different TechEd this time for me as instead of running from session to session, I was at the stall and getting to talk to people on the different community intiatives here. This includes the MVP program and the Community Star programs and also pitch in with information about CNUG.
