Going to the Party

Well, we're over half-way through Tech Ed 2008, and tonight is the big attendee party at Universal Studios. I'm looking forward to tonight, as the party sounds like a blast. Our group was down at Universal City Walk last night, and found some good music, food, and dancing. So, I think tonight will be a good one too.

My days at Tech Ed have been quite rewarding so far. The MSDN Zone has gotten a ton of traffic, so I've gotten to meet a lot of new people. Most everybody seems quite impressed with the work we've done for the Social Platform on MSDN. I've gotten lots of comments about Social Bookmarking, with lots of "cool" and "great" and "nice job". It's a ton of fun showing off something I've worked so hard on.

Outside of the booth shifts, I haven't gotten to see very many sessions unfortunately. I did see STO's Tim Shakirian's presentation today on building the MSDN feed service with WCF. It was a good session that was full of new information to me. He spoke at a lunch session in a room similar to the one I'll be speaking in tomorrow, so that also gave me a chance to scout the environment.

Well, I need some dinner before this party, so I'm heading out. Below are a couple pictures of our MSDN Zone with people this time. The beanbags have been a real hit, as you can see.
