PDC 2009 Is Near
The PDC 2009 is just over a week away. Looking at the sessions, if I were going (which I’m not 😦 ) I’d take a keen interesting in the following:
- Concurrency Fuzzing & Data Races
- Building Amazing Business Applications with Microsoft Silverlight and Microsoft .NET RIA Services
- Advanced Topics for Building Large-Scale Applications with Microsoft Silverlight
- Rx: Reactive Extensions for .NET
- Infer.NET: Building Software with Intelligence – download and samples available here if you want to read up prior to the PDC
- Data-Intensive Computing on Windows HPC Server with the DryadLINQ Framework – DryadLINQ is a cool technology I blogged about a sometime ago. I’m still unclear why Microsoft hasn’t moving DryadLINQ into the HPC land as a full product given its work with PLINQ. Maybe the PDC will make things clearer? (
- Building Hybrid Cloud Applications with Windows Azure and the Service Bus
- Microsoft Project Code Name “M”: The Data and Modeling Language
- Future of Garbage Collection
- Scaling Your Data Tier with Microsoft Project Code Name “Velocity” – Velocity is aimed directly at Coherence (Oracle), but maybe Microsoft want to look Gigaspaces, and features such as Process Units.
- Windows 7 Developer Boot Camp
- Mastering Microsoft .NET RIA Services
- Advanced Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 StreamInsight – having been on a number of conference calls with Roman and Torsten, it would have been nice to finally meet them
