Visit the Web Platform Pavillion for Web Chalk Talks
The Web Platform Pavilion in the Big Room at PDC is hosting a series of Chalk Talks during PDC with some really exciting sessions that you won’t see anywhere else. There are talks on what’s new in IIS, the new Bing Maps Silverlight Control which just released at Tech Ed in Berlin, and deep dives on SketchFlow, how to extend Expression Encoder and a not to be missed panel discussion with Scott Hanselman, Sara Ford, Bertrand LeRoy, Glenn Block, Clemens Vasters and Shaun Walker, on Open Source Software and ASP.NET. Plus a bunch more sessions you can take a look at below. These are special sessions you won’t find in the regular PDC schedule so make a note of the date and time. You can find the Web Platform Pavilion in the Big Room in the LA Convention Center. It’s right next to the Surface Lounge. View the full schedule of Chalk Talks below.
