As mentioned in the last Newsletter, several developers attended Microsoft TechEd, held on the Gold Coast Queensland. One of our most exuberant and enthusiastic team members - Anna won the competition for the Best Trip Report. Here is an excerpt from Anna’s Report and a listing of the papers and presentations she attended. I am sure this will only whet you appetite for more, so contact us for a copy of the whole report or contact Anna to discuss any of the topics in detail.
"This was the first time in my life that I have had the opportunity to go to a conference. I was so excited, that I did not pay much attention to my flight details and almost went to Sydney (my flight number was JF444, but the number of flight to Sydney was QF444). The flight was full with Tech Ed delegates and the two hour flight time passed quickly as I chatted to a couple of guys from a company called PnP. We had arranged for Kevin to pic me up at the airport. and after a short wait Kevin rang. He was there to pick me up. However communication problems occurred and I couldn't hear him clearly on the phone. I was inside the airport and he was outside. I finally heard a great word “Outside”, ran out and with relief saw Kevin waving to get my attention. At the Hotel my room looked huge and far too luxurious for me. But, no time to enjoy the large bed or watch the big TV right now, I had a quick wash and imediately went to the Gold Coast Convention & Exhibition Centre for Tech Ed registration."

"In Conclusion, after studying in Tech ed, I have gained some ideas about project management. I now have some new concepts about how to develop a website and a search engine techniques. I am far more familiar with New Visual Studio, SQL Server and windows 7 platforms. Plus as an attendee I was given a new(sweat) laptop, I think this is the best event I have attended in my life. I have to give my special thanks to my boss who gave me the chance to attend such a great event. Appreciate you, Kevin!!!"
