Off to the Free Harrogate Microsoft Tech Roadshow tomorrow and Thursday. I'm quite looking forwards to it! Microsoft don’t get oop north very often, and I have constant envy of a friend of mine based in London who is forever going to various courses, functions, events, etc.
This is actually a bugbear of mine. In the US and Canada, events seem to be spread out a lot more. I know the UK is very south-east based, and yes geographically its not that big, but we seem to have a very large developer community for the population. Surely us poor Northerners deserve a bit more of Microsoft’s love?
Anyway, I have a horrible fear it will basically be a 2 day advert for VS 2005, but I intend to go to enjoy it. If nothing else there will be a nice chance to network with other geeks on the Wednesday :-)
