I'm pleased to announce that the details on Microsoft's Mobile Developer are now on the web at MicrosoftMDC.com. Last year's MDC in New Orleans was great and considering all the massive changes announced at the PDC a couple months ago, I have a feeling that the content at this MDC is going to be really important for developers interested in leveraging the features and tools of next generation Smartphones and Pocket PCs.What: 80+ technical sessions, hands-on labs, exhibits and networking events.
Where: Moscone West, San Francisco, CA. Together with VSLive!
When: March 23 - 27, 2004
Microsoft Mobile DevCon is the premier developer event for building and bringing to market mobile applications, content and services for the Windows Mobile and Windows platforms. This a must attend event for developers seeking knowledge about the latest platform advances for mobile technologies, including Windows Mobile-based Pocket PCs and Smartphones, .NET Compact Framework, SQL Server CE, ASP.NET, and MapPoint Location Server and other mobile technologies.
If you register before the end of January, the price is $995. After that, it will be $1,295. This conference is being co-located with the popular VSLive! so for an extra fee you can get access to those sessions as well. What's cool about this co-location strategy is that traditional web and desktop developers attending VSLive! are likely to get lured in to the much more exciting world of mobile devices. 8) As for the keynote, the website doesn't say this explicitly but a Microsoft source has told us that Bill Gates himself will be there to address the crowd and assert that Microsoft is serious about mobility.
