Ballmer keynoting free training on Microsoft technologies in Nashville
Codemash is still going and it’s been a great event this year – as in years’ past. If you’re not one of the 700 people who trekked to the Kalahari indoor water park and convention center in Sandusky, OH, for codemash – or even if you are – there’s yet another fantastic opportunity to get your geek on and learn some stuff next week in Nashville, TN!
Steve Ballmer will be keynoting a special 1-day event at Vanderbilt University that will cover a bunch of the topics from PDC09 last November. With 16 tracks overall, this is a great way to get some free training on Microsoft technologies like Windows Azure, Windows Server 2008 R2, .NET 4, Windows 7, Silverlight 4, and more.
Hope to see you there!
I’ve pasted the announcement notice below, complete with registration links and links for more info.
Lap Around PDC featuring Steve Ballmer
Did you miss the Professional Developers Conference in November? If so, join us as we bring the “highlights” from the PDC09 conference to you! At this special FREE event we will cover the latest Microsoft technologies and exciting announcements from PDC09 and deliver over 16 sessions presented by Microsoft, Partners, MVPs and Community Leaders. The keynote will be delivered by Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer, and will cover Microsoft’s three screens and the cloud strategy.
Microsoft is releasing more than 25 products and frameworks over the next six months, more than at any other time. Our goal is to get you up to speed on what is coming, and how it can help you do more with what you have. The sessions will cover multiple technologies such as Microsoft® Windows® Azure™, Visual Studio® 2010, .NET 4, Silverlight™ 4, SharePoint Server® 2010, SQL Server® 2008 R2, Windows® 7, and Windows Server® 2008 R2.
During the event, we encourage you to network with your peers and chat one-on-one with the speakers at the “Ask the Experts” area to get all of your questions answered. You can also visit the Customer Showcase area to see how customers are using the latest technologies in real world applications, and the amazing results they are seeing. We will also showcase the latest Windows powered gadgets and mobile devices in the Customer Showcase area.
If seeing isn’t enough, we will also have a fully staffed Hands-On-Lab area packed with PCs, labs you can practice with, and expert staff to help you learn the new tools.
We will be hosting the event at Vanderbilt University Student Life Center in Nashville, TN. Specific information about event parking and shuttle service will be posted on the registration site and emailed to you prior to the event as well.
Every attendee will receive a Visual Studio 2010 Beta2 DVD, a t-shirt and an event bag filled with a collection of product information, case studies and other great resources. We will also be raffling off some great prizes at the end of the day!
Come spend the day with us and learn about the future of developer technology!
