Hands-on Instructor Led Labs (assuming they get approved)

  • C# Generics - Juval Lowy
  • C# 2.0 Iterators - Juval Lowy
  • System.Transactions - Juval Lowy
  • Lap Around Visual C# 2005 - Dan

Cabana Session

  • Whiteboard with Anders Hejlsberg 
    Ask Anders and the C# team questions about the design of the C# language. This is always one of the best things about TechEd. Being able to whiteboard with the chief designer of C# is, well, just cool.
