Day3 at Teched-India 2011

 

Interested to know about Day2 at #Techedin

Day 3’s Key note by Jason Zandor - Corporate VP Microsoft was simply superb, showed the demos of MVC3 code. Lots of new stuff is planned and coming for us to learn and update. After the key note from Jason, we have keynote from Murthy Uppaluri, Director DPE. His entrance to the key note is so exciting, he entered dressed like an Indian Batsman, and hence audience are too much excited about that, as India won the match against Australia and qualified for semifinals in the world cup.

Soon after the Murthy’s key note we had round table by Rajeev, followed by lunch. After that we have round table with Jason Zandor VP Microsoft , It was the best round table that I can say, Where we gave feedback on VS2010 , C#. Came to know about some of the things that are coming, but I am not supposed to blog or tweet or share as all of them are under MVP NDA.

After this round table for a long time, I have spoken on the MVP awareness and IE9, Cloud Computing for the 24 hours Cloud day from GITCA. Hope Baxi and Ashwin share these two videos soon with me. After the technical sessions got over, there is an un conference that is stump the speaker, where people from audience asking the question for a speaker, they should be able to answer the question in 30 seconds from the time it has been asked. It was fun where we are trying to stump the speaker and speaker answers the question in 30 seconds.

Now the most exciting part of Teched is to meet Anil Kumble, As all of us are cricket fans, the Kalinga Hall was completely full with audience to meet Kumble and watch his speech. Anil Kumble related technology to team dynamics. Team Building skills and the necessary to handle pressure in cricket or team. When India team does not perform well in a single match then, the team has to face lot of critics and comments. The same applies to our work; if you do not perform well on a single day whatever is performed in the past will not be visible. Hope we get the World Cup!!!

Failure is taking the path that everyone else does; success is making your own path.

I would like to thank Aaron for the pluralsight dinner party on the last day, where I got the opportunity to meet Matt Milner , Fritz Onion , Chris Eargle  (codefugu from Telerik ) and talked about technology stuff.

I am sure someone who is reading this and missed the event is definitely jealous of not attending. I cannot help you in that. Try attending the one next year 2012.

Day1 at Tech-ED India 2011

 

I didn’t think that I will attend Tech-Ed this year as I have a very busy schedule. All of my plans were attending Global Summit this year. But some how, the Global Summit one canceled and got some time to attend Tech-Ed. My flight started from Hyderabad at 8:30 AM on 23rd March 2011, As usual I started late at home, but caught the flight on time. Reached Hotel Lalit Ashok at 10:30 AM while the key note is going on, Got registered , this time there is no problem in registration as we have separate counter for Speakers and MVPs. The first session was an un-conference . There we networked with several fellow MVPs and some of my close friends. After that I attended the session on ASP.NET MVC3. Lots of stuff to learn in MVC3 compared to MVC2. I am going to blog about that as a separate blog post soon.

MVPs at the un conference. Will post you more pictures once I upload all of them.

Today I am pleased to meet PluralSight CEO Aaron Skonnard. I am supposed to meet Aaron in Hyderabad and that didn’t happened as I was not in the city at that time.  Pluralsight Trainings are excellent, Knowledge sharing and once you start learning using those trainings, you will automatically get addicted. Its worth subscribing to their trainings.

We have a privilege to meet distinguished engineer Yousef Khalidi RD Mgmt , WindowsAzure from 4:00 PM to 5:30 PM. This is a direct roundtable with the person who is technically very very strong. We are very much pleased the way Yousef  answer all of our questions and provided solutions to the problems. Its a very productive and one of the best roundtables that I can say.

MVPs with Yousef Khalidi Distinguished Engineer, Windows Azure

My Question to Yousef Khaladi was, What is azure side enhancements in Interoperability side , Integration with Java or any other language.  The answer was Initially they were concentrating on one technology ,now they are stabilized so soon we can expect toolkit to play with Java and Azure using the API.

One of the feature request that came in the conference was having client side API using Azure, Azure with Siliverlight integration would definitely benefit the developers.

I had the opportunity to meet VSTS 2010 product team from Microsoft IDC. Had Demos and Lot of Q&A with them. If you get some time try to meet the Azure team or VSTS team they have pretty cool stuff to show case.

Then we had Community Talk and plan for the Web Developers day, Windows Azure Day for MUGH in the evening that ends my Day1 at teched. I will be blogging more on tomorrow as I am feeling a bit tired and going to sleep. So stay Tuned.

I still have the last year memories for Tech-Ed meeting Soma and having lunch with him. You can still read the above link to know what happened in Teched 2010
