Tech Ed Gone For The Year...

This time last week, I was at Tech Ed - Sydney. I know its pretty late now, but I thought I would still write something about it...

This was my first Tech Ed. I had heard about the previous years and that it was a great event, but had never got the chance to experience it. Im happy to say that it did live upto my expectations! The presentations I saw were great and were on things like TFS, WCF, Atlas, BizTalk, WF, SQL Server etc. ... I even managed to squeeze in an infrastructure presentation on Windows Vista/Longhorn Server Core (although, I have to admit that because of my lack of knowledge in this area, some of it went over my head).

Something that I did not anticipate about Tech Ed was the amount of people that I would run into. I have only been working in this industry for just over one and a half years, but its amazing how many people you make friends with. It goes to show that the community around this stuff is really pretty small. Not to mention the people I met for the first time.
I finally had the pleasure of meeting Frank Arrigo and Scott Guthrie, both of who's blog I have been reading for a while, so it was quite strange to meet them in person because you feel like you already know them so well.
