Microsoft MSDN Events
Have you ever attended a Microsoft MSDN or TechNet event? Notice that the knowledge level is a step above dumb ass? Sure, I know its an introduction to the subject at hand, like LINQ or SQL Server 2008, but seriously, why treat us like we have never programmed in our life.
I am sure that most of the developers in the conferences are bored and use the event as an excuse to skip work or get out of the office. I think MS should at least offer some events that really dive into the available technologies, so that developers can get a more in depth look at how to use these technologies. Plus, stop showing the “drag and drop” development method. I don’t know a single developer who uses this method for development, its just lazy and create bad bad bad code!
Just a few thoughts on the events that they host, at least they are free. If I had to pay, I would demand some quality.
