Visual Studio 2010 Launch Starts this Weekend

Are you ready for the next wave in developer tools? The Visual Studio Launch Conference and Expo starts this weekend at the Bellagio in Las Vegas. Although the title is the VS Launch Conference we will also be launching Silverlight as well. So there will be plenty of new content for both developers and designers. The conference officially runs from April 12-14th but most of the mayhem kicks off on Sunday as everyone starts to arrive from around the world for the preconference workshops . Then at 8:30 on Monday morning BobMu will kick everything off with his Visual Studio Launch keynote address. On Tuesday morning at 8:00am ScottGu kicks off the Silverlight Launch keynote. Scott’s talk is the one I am personally looking forward to the most. The strength of Silverlight 4 and SharePoint 2010 make for a hugely compelling developer platform.

 I will be working a full schedule myself. So if you are at the conference please stop by all of my breakout sessions and say hi. I will also be working the SharePoint booth in the pavilion area so stop by if you want to go deep on SharePoint 2010. And finally I will be doing a C9 live broadcast, that you can stop by and watch or watch live online. And be sure to tweet to @ch9live with your live questions as we do the show.
