Day five of the TechEd conference… the wear and tare of going to a conference it starting to hit me… having to drink coffee in the afternoon. Here are the sessions I went to today:

• ASP.NET: Blackbelt Web Forms Programming
• SQL Server Data Access Developer Don'ts (10 Things You Currently Do That You Shouldn't)
• ASP.NET: Tips and Tricks for Building Server Controls
• ASP.NET: Best Practices for Managing and Operating IIS 6.0 and ASP.NET Solutions

At lunch I did my pass through the exhibit area since it was the last day for them. I gathered information I could take to the next meeting of the user group I hope run (San Diego .NET Developers Group). One thing I did notice was that it seemed that there were more vendors focued on the IT pro type person… not on the software developer. I thought TechEd was a developers conference… guess I was wrong.

After the sessions Microsoft rented out Sea World for the attendee party! It was pretty cool going to an amusement park and not pay for anything! Got to walk on to rides and exhibits. It was fun… thanks Microsoft!
