The Hardest Question on the PDC Registration Form Google Search It There is one conference that I would not miss and that is the Microsoft Professional Developers Conference (PDC).  While registering for this years PDC I was asked what previous PDCs I had attended.  Unfortunately they wanted to know the years and I am terrible with dates.  All I can remember was the locations.... Los Angeles, San Francisco, Orlando, and Denver (in no particular order).  I can't remember any other I attended?  There was also the one in San Diego but I was living in Mozambique for that one.  Of course there were more before these too but I was still trying to pass Linear Algebra, Philosophy of Religion, and Sociology at the time so I didn't make those either.  Anyone got a list of all the past PDCs, their dates and major technologies covered?  Anyway, I am going..... Wahoo!! 9-30-2003: Since making this original post Mr Box has provided the answer here. 11:06:27 AM   []    comment []

Binary XML Standard Considered Harmful Google Search It Hmmmmm.....  Harmful or not... we have a need for this.  Therefore, lets keep the flexibility of remoting that separates out the format from the transport and hope that Microsoft and others can provide a more diverse set of formatters to cover the spectrum of the typical scenarios.  I don't care if there are multiple formatters as long as I can put the same one on each end of the communication link and that it is efficient... much more efficient than standard XML. 10:47:55 AM   []    comment []
