Microsoft at ISTE 2011. June 26-19, Philadelphia

As I promised yesterday, here is more information about Microsoft at ISTE 2011 in Philadelphia. First off the good stuff. OK well the stuff that means the most to me – presentations by friends of mine that have to do with computer science topics. Pat Yongpradit and Bryan Baker are both giving talks that are on the regular ISTE schedule. Both have something to do with Game Programming using XNA and both have experience with these topics and are well worth listening to. I will be joining Bryan who will also be doing his talk a second time in the Marriott Hotel in the Microsoft breakout room.
