Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 for .NET

microsoft, teched, techedsea2008, technet

Yesterday, final decision has to be made… which technology to use for the up coming system development. As usual, Microsoft will be the number one choice… for me… unless able to ‘convince’ that the alternative is much better… ASP or ASP.NET… C#.NET or VB.NET… After deciding to try on ASP.NET with C#.NET… from no where, a voice…  ‘You don’t want to try Ruby on Rails?’… ‘WHAT?!!!’.. ‘You have to kill me if you want to do that!!!’…

I wanted to try Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 since I got a trial copy during the Microsoft TechNet & MSDN Conference in January… then during the Microsoft HEROES HAPPEN {HERE} last week, Microsoft is really pushing for it together with the Microsoft Windows Server 2008 and Microsoft SQL Server 2008. Looks like we have to try it… hopefully the learning curve is shorter 😀

I’m sure all the ‘2008’ versions will be the most talked about at the Microsoaft TechEd SEA 2008 this time 😀 If you are Microsoft user, you should join togethere there 😀

Microsoft TechNet & MSDN Conference – Lucky Draw

microsoft, technet

I was quite lucky this time. I answered a question and got myself a notebook backpack… but the backpack is last year TechEd SEA’s backpack… I have one already… so, I gave it to Darius since he did not attend last year TechEd.

During the morning sessions lucky draw, we did not win any prize.

Afternoon session, I think because of the Yee Sang I ate, I won my self a document bag made of lather 😀 hopefully this is the sign I will win the $6 million jackpot 😛

 

The most wanted prize we want was the Vista Ultimate… a lady actually won it in the lucky draw, but she opted for a cheap backpack which is not part of the lucky draw price. She don’t want a ‘second’ Vista Ultimate since she already got one from answering question… I’m soooo speechless lah…

Microsoft TechNet & MSDN Conference – Lunch

microsoft, technet

Since lunch is not provided, for those who are going to attend the MSDN in the afternoon have to look for lunch themselves… fast… because the morning session, TechNet, finished at 12.00pm and the afternoon session, MSDN, will start at 12.30pm… something really wrong with the programming!

Me and colleague, Darius, decided to eat at the hotel since we (and everyone else) have no choice but to eat at the hotel’s restaurant. And the great part… 4 ‘ladies’ piggy-back us to our table… ‘kita ikut saja di blakang si tim, nanti dia bayar…’. Wahh… clever lah u all… Lucky I brought my credit card along… if not you all ‘cuci piring’ 😛

 
We all decided to take the set lunch… cheap cheap… only $10.90++
As usual, I will order the most ‘ganjil’… something I never try 😀 Ordered the ‘Braised Oyster with Black Moss and rice’.

Then I noticed at the board… wah… got Yee Sang lah… but we are not really sure until the waiter brought the Yee Sang,.. well, according to the waitress, we got the Yee Sang because we are in one table… dono, maybe more than 4 people maybe… did not bother to ask… just take only lah… . . .

Microsoft TechNet & MSDN Conference

microsoft, technet


Today was the Microsoft TechNet & MSDN Conference at Berjaya Palace Hotel, Kota Kinabalu. From the beginning I had the feeling that this conference is really trying to cut cost. The place was not really a nice place. Food was not provided like normally Microsoft does… only coffee and tea although the program is from 8.30am to 4.00pm. Talking to the other attendees, they agree Microsoft is going ‘cheap’.

Anyway, the conference contents are not that bad although I’m bit bored and made worse with some of the ‘new’ presenters. I guess, the presenters used this to do their ‘practical presentations training’… again, the other attendees agreed that Microsoft send ‘kids’ this time… They are ‘knowledgeable’ but their presentations gave no impact… too dry.

Microsoft TechNet is coming to town

microsoft, technet


Microsoft TechNet & MSDN Briefing is coming to town again! I’m glad that Microsoft will be back to KK. Microsoft has been shying KK for the past few years. Maybe it’s because of the cost… or maybe it’s because of the market here.

Personally, I consider Microsoft TechNet & MSDN Briefing as very important to IT professional since it is one of the sources for updating us with the latest news from Microsoft other than giving us some ideas on planning and deploying Microsoft latest technology.
