It’s been a long time since I’ve done any posts on this blog, mostly because I’m posting mainly on my MSDN blog and not doing a lot of SharePoint lately.

But, I have a good reason to post this time: I’ve been working on the content, speakers and agenda for the next TechDays conference these last few months.
This year the event takes place on 10, 11 and 12 March in Antwerp, with a different setup than last year: we have a full day pre-conference entirely focused on SharePoint development in .NET Framework 3.5, and two days conference with more than 75 sessions (agenda here)! That’s Developer and IT-Pro sessions combined but even then it’s a lot :)

For the pre-conference there are 5 sessions planned for the day, in which you will learn not only about SharePoint development but in addition how to use the latest technologies from the .NET Framework 3.5 including LINQ, WCF and Silverlight.

• SharePoint 2007 Architecture and Development Overview
• Using LINQ with SharePoint
• Consuming and exposing SharePoint services using WCF
• Using Workflow Foundation 3.5 with SharePoint 2007
• Integrating Silverlight 2 into SharePoint

Speakers: two speakers from U2U are presenting during this pre-conference. Jan Tielens: MVP, famous blogger and the author of the SmartPart, and his colleague Lieven Iliano. In addition to making this a not to miss pre-conference content-wise, I’m sure Lieven and Jan will make this a fun day as well.

In addition to the developers pre-conference on SharePoint there are two more: Windows Server 2008 R2 Essentials and Software + Services.

See you there!
