Are you going to MIX11?

Sadly this year I wont be there – I didn’t even ask to go (personal reasons) – but I do feel I’m going to miss out on what’s likely to be the most exciting MIX event so far. From a phone perspective, from a web perspective, from a client perspective – there’s just so much going on.

Bootcamps

If get there for the Monday, attending a bootcamp has to be on your agenda.

• HTML5 / CSS3
• Silverlight (with our very own Mike Taulty and John Papa)
• jQuery
• Windows Phone 7
• Silverlight for SharePoint

Keynotes

Don’t miss Joe Belfiore’s keynote about Windows Phone 7 – I’m expecting there’ll be a few interesting announcements in there. And of course ScottGu will be there to talk Silverlight, Visual Studio and .NET as well as Dean Hachamovitch for HTML5 and IE9.

Sessions

Here’s the list of Windows Phone sessions we’ve announced so far – I don’t doubt we’ll add more. Let me do a shout out for Laurent’s session – Deep Dive MVVM – after his excellent talk at our Windows Phone Online Conference last week.
