Submitted by Bevan on Sat, 19 Sep 2009 - 8:17pm

I've written up a review of TechEd 2009, covering many of the sessions I attended an my thoughts on each. It's necessarily brief, but I hope you'll find it informative.

TechEd New Zealand next week

Looking forward to attending TechEd next week - a chance to see some of the new stuff and to learn a bunch.

Hopefully there'll be a lot that I haven't heard of, but I suspect only snippets will be truly new. Stay tuned - I'm intending to blog my thoughts on a few sessions.

Oh, and #tenz9 for the search engines. ;-)

The Defect "Transaction was deadlocked on lock resources with another process and has been chosen as the deadlock victim" has been edited by another user and cannot be saved.

Delicious.

While reading a recent post by Jeff Attwood, entitled “Paying down your Technical Debt”, I came to the realisation that the causes of the death of Compudigm weren’t the ones I thought.

There are probably a thousand theories about what caused Compudigms eventual demise – there’s probably evidence for many of them.
