On April 1st, 2009, Microsoft is putting on a free 24 hour virtual event covering developer-related topics.
There will be 95 live sessions provided via Live Meeting in the following tracks:
*Windows Development and Frameworks
*Windows Mobile Development
*Office and SharePoint Development
*Developer Tools, Languages & Practices
*Web Development & User Experience
More information on each track can be found here: http://www.msfttechdays.com/public/sessions.aspx
Marco Shaw will be presenting the only session covering Windows PowerShell: "WIN300 Scripting the Microsoft .NET Framework Using Windows PowerShell
Now that PowerShell is part of the Microsoft Common Engineering Criteria, expect to see more and more PowerShell in Microsoft server products.
This session looks at how PowerShell can be used to directly access the .NET Framework.
Some simple examples are demonstrated, but also more advanced examples of using Windows Presentation Foundation (.NET 3.0) and LINQ (.NET 3.5) are discussed."
This is a FREE event, so you can't possibly go wrong.
If you want to learn more about Windows PowerShell and how it can help increase the efficiency of .NET development, I think you'll like Marco's session.
What you can get for attending:
*Get a second chance to pass your Microsoft Certification exam
*50% off Microsoft Certification exam
*MSDN Premium Subscriptions (draw)
More information on the prizes is on the site.
The sessions will last 60 minutes with levels varying from 200 to 400 and will also be available offline after the event.
Just checked connect and Operations Manager R2 Release Candidate is available for download.
