Microsoft TechEd 2010 Bangalore, India

Microsoft’s biggest event in India, TechEd, was held on 12-13-14 April 2010 in Bangalore. It was held in Lalit Hotel. Almost 2000-2500 people attended this event. I also got a chance to attend this event. Many dignitaries like S.Somasegar, Moorti Uppaluri, Stephanie Saad Cuthbertson, Sanjay Vyaas etc gave keynotes and sessions. It was in all a 3-day event which included 7 parallel tracks. All technologies for developers and IT Professionals was covered in this event.
On 1st day after registrations, event started at 9:30 am with a welcome note of Mr. Moorthy Uppaluri which was continued by S.Somasegar with keynote and Visual Studio 2010. Launch of Visual Studio 2010 was a prime attraction of this event. Everyone was interested to know new features of Visual Studio 2010 which was shown by Stephanie Saad Cuthbertson and Paula Willis through interesting demos. Other sessions included ASP.Net, Cloud Computing, VS 10 programming, securing infrastructure etc.
On 2nd day interesting sessions for me were Windows 7 phone development track. Awesome demos were showed by Mr. Vivek Dalvi. We also had sessions on Windows 7, Sharepoint 2010, Office 2010. Architect’s track included session like Concept Visualization by Mr. Sanjay Vyaas.
On 3rd day there were individual tracks for Sharepoint Development, Azure, RIA (Silverlight) etc. Speakers like Mr. Nitin Paranjape, Mr. Raj Choudhary, Mr. Harish Ranganathan etc had their sessions on 3rd day.
We also had Demo Extravaganza everyday after all sessions concluded. In this section many people got chance to show their talent. One of the most amazing demo was Buddy Home and Robo war and dance demonstrated by Ramaprasanna Chellamuthu. Also 2 college boys demonstrated their project of philontrophy which was one more amazing demo. There was another special section called Community track in which MVPs, Industry Experts gave sessions which were very deep technically and also were very understanding. For e.g. Mr. Dhaval Faria gave a session on F#. We had another section called Hands on which helped people to get practical knowledge of technologies. Event also included a Partner stalls in which parteners like Accenture, Telerik, Sapient etc had put their stalls. Many goodies were distributed there like tshirts, cds etc. We also had MTv VJ Mr. Nikhil Chinappa attending the event.
We really had a nice time enjoying this event.
