Windows Hardware Engineering Conference

WinHEC is next week. Unfortunately I won’t be going this year but I wanted to mention it anyway because its hands-down the most interesting conference of the year. In years past I’ve been to TechEd, PDC, and others but WinHEC trumps them all. It might have something to do with the fact that there aren’t any C# sessions.  :)  Seriously, it’s just a great way to learn a boatload about the entire Windows platform and technology stack. It’s a pity it’s in LA though. If it had been in Seattle again I would probably have gone.

What's your favorite conference?

  • Hey Kenny.. If you hate C# so much, why do I remember you attending all of the VB sessions? :)

  • Ari: Ouch... :) Hey I wasn’t knocking C#. I think it’s a great language, warts and all. At the end of the day however it’s just a language/compiler that targets a platform. The platform is where my interest really lies. I love programming languages and have written many times about C# and C++ language features but I think the platform is still at the core of software engineering.
