Pakistan Developer Conference (Microsoft) - Highlights Day 1
* A crowd of around 1500 developers and IT professional from Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad gathered in Pearl Continental hotel's Ballroom 1 and 2 to mark the Keynote session of the conference oganized by Microsoft Paksitan for the third consecutive year.
* Presided by chairman NADRA Brig (Retd) Saleem Ahmed Moeen
* Teasing and really annoying were the redundant security checks
* Nice was the kit provided to each conference attendee consisted of a bag, some microsoft CDs and other literature and this month's spider magazine, that I already had bought earlier :(
* Youngest Microsoft Certified Professional (hailing from Multan) was rewarded along with others.
*Disappointing was the presentation (Not content but actual presentation) of the chairman NADRA Brig (Retd) Saleem Ahmed Moeen, I think NADRA being the most hi-tec institution in the country should review thier corporate communication standards as it really portrays the image and of organisation, and in my opinion NADRA is one of the best in the world as far as implementation of technology is concerned.
Future Perspective
* Dynamic Systems Initiative- A concept of sort of smart applications responding and behaving to adapt to new interfaces, changes and other integrating and acting dynamically.
* Domain System Language - Envisioning a new way of developing applications in future, based entirely on analysis and design standards such as UML. Totally integrated development environment in order to develop systems sticking to the business model and logic at each and every stage.
* Web Services Inter-operatibility
* Hosting Models - Con't figure out exactly what they are! Mr Rafal Lukawiecki I think mentioned it briefly but need to take some time to sort it out.
* Info Path .... Services Schema Designer
* Data Driven Caching (Page caching) in .net-This was one of the most informative session for me, Mr Stephen Forte (Regional Manager New York - Microsoft) presented with great enthusiasm and style all the lastest developments and facilities offered by .net.
* XML X-Query and XPath .. again very informative session from Mr. Stephen Forte
* At the end of the day we had around an hour of Q & A session covering all sort of
development questions directed to all the spearker and presenter. All in all at the end it was a great day and quite a learning one indeed. Now it 2 at night . gotta get it early tomorrow.

well, the overall experience was great as I learned a lot of new stuff and came across upcomming BIG THINGS.
As far as marketing is concerned, Yes, obviously Microsoft orgainzes such events to market its products and that is one aspect, but these developer conferences all over the world are aimed at bringing professional and developers tegother,spread awareness, discuss, brainstrom and pin point the emerging and existing technologies. PDC was not just an 'Informative' experience rather it was a great learning one, becuase you can directly interact with professionals from all over the world (The lecturers) and also have a chance to meet a lot of poeple from your very own field (attending the similar sessions).
May be I am too excited :) so I would stop here otherwise this trains of words will go on and on........ :)
