<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Day two of TechEd sessions and the information deluge continues.<\/p>\n
i ran two chalk and talk sessions today, both turned out better than i expected and I was very impressed with both the turn out and involvement of the people at the second. I’ll see if I can get related materials up later in the week.<\/p>\n
Other sessions that I attended included a very impressive look at game development using XNA, WPF and Silverlight, with a bit of apache chucked in for good measure. The session was partially delivered by a presenter sitting in Seattle and partially by the presenter in the room. The slow internet access down in this end of the world showed, but not too much.<\/p>\n
The second session that i found time for was a quick look at clustering in Windows server 2008 and SQL Server 2008. No more unexpected errors during or after installation. The pre-checks should catch most things. Definitely a good thing.<\/p>\n
Lastly, i attended Gert Drapers’ advanced VSTS Database session, and got a good look at unit tests and data generation. Who said you can’t unit test a database?<\/p>\n
Of course, TechEd wouldn’t be TechEd without the parties, and so tonight there was the closing party, on Durban beach. Here are a few photos.<\/p>\n
