I would say that CTD at Hyderabad is success as we can see huge crowd more than 250 for the sessions. Though most of them are dev crowd every one stayed till the end of the event. What the passion the techies have on the technology!!
Harish Ranganathan was organizer for the event, came and helped in clearing the security check and having spot registrations.
Event started with my session on VS2010 Web Development Enhancements. The response was pretty good and with lots of very good questions during the session, after the session and also during the lunch. I was very happy that I would able to make it though I was busy at the MVP open day for the past three days .Yes. It was a very busy week for me. I explained the features on VS2010 spoke on ASPNET4 features and covered ASPNET4 demos and chart control. You might have noticed the excellent features on VS2010.
Arun's session was cool! WCF,WCF,WCF …everyone knows basics but don't really know how to use it in real time. We might struck in developing day to day apps incorporates, its worth for every one for attending the session.
Hariveer Singh, Program Manager at Microsoft gave cool demos on VS2010 LAB Management, which is going to be released soon. This is the instant feedback from audience for the product - Excellent and worth product.
Most of the people are from DEV crowd, I could see their interest in attending IT PRO sessions too.
Muqeet spoke on IIS 7.5 and SEO Tool KIT, where he got questions from DEV audience. The quality of the questions we got from Hyderabad UG is a lot improved and I really like the way they are interested and enthusiastic in learning advanced technology and technology changes.
Though we have continuous sessions without breaks, being last session, DEV audience Vijay made audience to sit and listen to his session through his interactive presentation.
Finally I can say that made the event success and that made professionals to reach what they are expecting.
