The TechEd conference for 2008 has concluded and we are all very tired from 5 full days of learning. Overall the experience was good. The highlights for this year was the release of Visual Studio 2008 (Released already), SQL Server 2008 (Release date 06/2008), Silverlight (1.0 released already and 2.0 in November) and some interesting Mobile features (Available Now).
I recommend that we migrate to Visual Studio 2008 as soon as possible and that we find a way to incorporate Silverlight into our development standards. VSTS 2008 adds several new and exciting features to improve our development process. Silverlight is a "Flash" type software that will help spruce up the UI without the help of graphic designers. Last but not least, we saw some mobile features that would allow the mobile devise to connect to our domain which would then allow the users to access our applications. Of course we would have to write some of them to work with the mobile device.
In conclusion, I want to thank Bob for allowing us to attend the conference as I gained a lot of valuable information. All the Microsoft resources are available in one place. If you don't understand something all you have to do is ask one of the experts.
This years conference was a little different in that they split the developer and the IT conference. There were only half the amount of people this year which was good. The food was terrible, but good enough for us not to have to eat out for breakfast and lunch.
Overall I think the conference was a success and I am very glad I had the opportunity to attend.
