Lamentably, it’s only the once that I’ve been to Microsoft’s PDC developer conference and that was back in 2004. I’ve never seen a keynote like it I promise you, the audience applauded every slide in certain sections – and this was the launch of Vista!
Just a short train ride from Hollywood, the great and good of the software development industry are buddying up with Microsoft this week to celebrate PDC (Professional Developers Conference) 2008.I attended the 2005 event and it was a good gig for sure.

With PDC on the rapidly approaching horizon there is already talk of ‘how to prepare for the development road ahead’ – and discussion around ‘Oslo’, Microsoft’s “family” of technologies for data-driven development and execution of services finally seems to have started bubbling up after being announced way back in Oct 07.

As expected this week, as soon as we had shrugged off our new years hangovers, the 2008 software development conference season publicity programme kicked into gear. Whether you are thinking of heading to Boston, Moscone, Vegas or Orlando – no doubt you’ll be getting your “call for papers” e-mails pretty soon.
