Such a beautiful horizon
I'm in Barcelona for Microsoft's TechEd Developers 2006, where they're going to tell us how wonderful Visual Studio, SQL Server and the .NET framework are. Much the same as they did last year, then.
Sarcasm aside, they've split the developer event from the IT Pro (you can't call them Sysadmins) event this year, which is good, since it makes the conference smaller and more focused. While programmers often do need to do some system administration, especially during testing, the day-to-day business of the two roles are different in all but the smallest companies.
I'll be writing up the main stories of the event over on Builder UK, but I'll blog the other goings on of the conference right here. Right, Keynote speech, here I come.

But remember it's version 3.0 .NET framework this year (few extras bolted on so I've read)
Have fun
