Time to wrap things up. Day three of the conference was somewhat of a hit or miss, but ended on an up note (with a session by Don Box).
After my last session I walked around the Big Room to “Meet the Experts”. This is where they have PMs, developers and other people like that who work on the product lines from Microsoft standing around answering questions. I didn’t find out anything overly interesting, but did have some good conversations.
Today was a pretty light day compared to what I have planned to attend tomorrow. I’m already starting to think about cutting a few of the items out of my schedule tomorrow just for sanity sake.
I thought I’d mention a little of what it’s like to be at PDC as an attendee. First off, there is SO much stuff to listen to and take in that it’s literally hard not to look like a deer caught in the headlights.
Like I said, it was a long day. I had planned on going to a Infragistics demo and then another BOF session on writing secure code. What I ended up doing was meeting up with my old manager from International Paper and going to eat the Hard Rock and walking around at Hollywood and Highland, which is near the Chinese Theatre and such. Turned out to be a pretty good time and some time away from the convention center.
