The PDC and related blog sites...
Wow, there is a lot of excitement about the 2003 PDC for many & good reasons, but alais I'm not attending this year, and yet still I feel like I'll be there in spirit, if not in person because of this new (or new to me) blogging effort. Many from the .NET Development community and now the SQL Server community are blogging. Additionally, Microsoft is encourging their employees at all levels to blog about their activities and I think that this is a good thing as more information is much better than no-to-little information that can sometimes cause speculation and can be un-productive...
I've been able to track down many of the official and un-official 2003 PDC related blogs (via BlogRolls and cross-linked Blogs) from both Microsofties as well as others who are just attending or are presenters at the 2003 Professional Developers Conference at the Los Angeles Convention Center, the week of October 26 - 30, 2003. This is an important conference for Microsoft as they will be releasing it's first public look at not only Yukon, but Whidbey and the new OS platform Longhorn. I've listed below some of the official as well as un-official web sites and blogs for you to monitor in the comming week, if you're like me and unable to attend...
