The Microsoft Professional Developers Conference (PDC), the premier definitive developer
event focused on the future of the Microsoft platform, returns in 2007 after a short
2 year break ...
</p>
        <p>
... and its back in Los Angeles again !
</p>
        <p>
I had such a <a href="http://www.softwaremaker.net/blog/CategoryView,category,PDC2005_LA.aspx" target="_blank">great
time back in PDC2005 in Los Angeles</a>, presenting, networking and shooting the Visual
Studio 2005 launch video, etc. That event in 2005 must rank tops in my book amongst many
of the Microsoft technology events I have attended and/or presented over
the years.
</p>
        <p>
Microsoft tends to align PDC events with key product development milestones so we
tend to hold the events every couple of years, sometimes even more. There isn’t a
set schedule. Therefore, there shouldnt be that "Ah - I think I will skip this and
go next year" mentality or something. The last 2 PDCs were some of the biggest Microsoft
public events - with the announcements of Longhorn, WinFX, Office Server systems,
Vista, etc
</p>
        <p>
It is definitely NOT an event you want to miss. I encourage some of my friends,
developers and IT-Pros from Asia-Pacific to save up and attend. The investment
made will be well-worth it.
</p>
        <p>
Registration will open in Q4. Do check it out and, more importantly, stay tuned
to the registration site <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/events/pdc/" target="_blank">here</a> for
more details.
</p>
        <p>
Hopefully, this early announcement will help in making sure this event gets into your
(or your company's) budget planning for next year. <img src="http://www.softwaremaker.net/pictures/swmemoticons/wink.gif" /></p>
