Do you know what the .Net Rocks is ? if you don't, click on this link quickly ....
Well, imagine a .Net Rocks show, right from a session room in the LA Convention Center, during the very first day of pdc (actually on pre-conference day), with a panel made of an amazing selection of RDs, and with great Xbox gifts for attendees ...
How ? just put an attendee on the alley, give him the microphone, and make him guess whether the nswer given by the RD is true or false.
I never realized how fun many very serious RDs can be until today ... What are Web Services ? Michelle Leroux Bustamente would say : "it's like Teen Sex, those who talk about about it don't do it and those doing it don't talk about it"... "what the most significant difference between interop in C# qnd in C++", Kate Gregory would say that it is in the way you do DllImports!!!". How deo you access pivate members of a class? I don't remeber scott hanselmans exact wording, but it goes like " you buy him a drink...", off course, it end up with th RD giving the right answer (except a couple times), and the attendee going home very happy.
I'll be posting some pictures of the show and of the panel when I get those pictures printed and scanned (well, I use my smart phone for many things including my agenda and emails, I use almost no paper, but I still love using my Canon Eos camera with lenses and zoom covering a 35-210 mm focal distance... call me traditional or outdated on that, I don't mind at all)
if you have been at a pre-conference day before, you know you dont have the feeling that the conference is there ... well, carl just made it happen ...
thank you carl.
