Did you really think we were going to have a PDC without a boatload of new Windows content?  Puhleeeeeze!  Meet Tim Sneath, the manager of the Client track, who is guiding and overseeing sessions to make sure we really get in there and make your brain hurt, as the PDC likes to do.  And while we’re at it, why not throw in a whole other day of Windows 7 training with the recently announced developer boot camp that will happen on November 16 at the PDC.  Whether you are going to the full conference or not, you can attend this day long training for . . . wait for it, wait for it . . . FREE!

Why is the audio so quiet and distorted during various points? Come on guys either put microphones on or get a decent microphone to record the session. I have to turn the volume up to ungodly levels just to be able to make out what you are saying. Then, after I do that, there's clipping going on during some of what you are saying...

I wonder if it's possible to get a heart attack or at least clogged arteries just by looking at this week's Hard Hat challenge?

The Clue

Insignificant Jellybeans, A Game of Tag and the answer is the name of the old book.

 

First thoughts was about the jellybeans and though of the Microsoft Tag technology.

I think the Windows 7 Bootcamp is a great idea.  But I'm disappointed that it overlaps with the other pre-conference topics.

My main goal for attending PDC is to gather relevent information that can be used in the short term, and in the long term.

 

Windows 7 bootcamp is a great way to gather a lot of information that can be applied immediately.

The pre-conference track on Microsoft's roadmaps seems like the best way to start planning directions for the future.

The fact that these two presentations are in direct schedule conflict poses quite an issue.  I really want to do both!

 

I understand that the Bootcamp content will eventually be available online, but it's just not the same as actually sitting in a live presentation.  It is also difficult to find the time to sit down and watch a day's worth of presentations online.

 

Any chance we can have the individual bootcamp sessions presented a second time, during the PDC's normal session schedule?

Is the answer "Structured Programming", by Dahl, Dijkstra and Hoare?

 

 

Doubt it is but worth a shot.

Sorry, but that's not the correct answer, DaleRoss. Keep trying!
