Dear Attendee,
The Microsoft Development Platform is reaching a huge milestone. With Windows 8 waiting in the wings, the growing momentum of Windows Phone, the industry-wide HTML 5 push and continual emphasis on Cloud Computing, just about everything is changing and growing.
We think there’s a great way to digest these changes and seize their collective opportunity. And that’s to hear about them directly from Microsoft product team members and evangelists, along with a number of the finest independent speakers in the business.
We’re Andrew Brust and Rocky Lhotka, and as Conference Co-Chairs for Visual Studio Live! Orlando, we'd like to personally invite you to join us this December in Orlando, Florida, where we’ll have some of the best content and speakers that you’ll find at a technical conference.
We’ve put together a blockbuster lineup of sessions on: HTML 5; the Cloud; Windows Phone Development, Silverlight and WPF; Data Management and Services Development.
We've also got coverage on new tools like Visual Studio LightSwitch, WebMatrix and Orchard; the Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0 and Visual Studio 2010; and workshop content on Visual Studio ALM, SQL Server, software architecture and more. These sessions burrow deep into the new subjects you need to master and the fundamentals that are always important.
Hardcore content from Microsoft and independent experts isn’t a luxury. This year, it’s a necessity. Find a way to get to Visual Studio Live! Orlando. Your career will thank you.
We hope to see you there!
