PDC Announcements of Interest for Developers Working on adCenter API

Chris Norred - MSFT — Fri, 20 Jun 2008 02:50:53 GMT

I just got some info about the Microsoft PDC this fall. adCenter API Developers might be interested.

http://www.microsoftpdc.com/

PDC is about the future and is the event to attend. Just read what Jon Box says, "In my opinion, if I was going to choose one technical event to attend in any year, my first choice will always be the PDC. That's where I became aware of DCOM and ASP, before they came out. That was the year when I first saw Don Box. [more...] Others agree. Follow Andrew Connell as he blogs his way to the PDC. Technical Fellow Brian Harry has announced that the VSTS product team will be talking about what is coming in the Team System release code named "Rosario" and evangelists have flooded the net with posts about Rosario and Brian Randell's pre-con. William H. Salazar posted similar news and joined Brian Keller as they pointed out Brian Randell's . [more...] The news is out. PDC2008 is happening. The buzz can be found on blogs by Jason Olson and Doug Holland. Jason Olson's announcement about Open Space drew the attention of Open Space originator Harrison Owen and Jack Martin Leith commented, "For those who want evidence that Open Space has moved from the fringes to the mainstream, this must surely be it.". [more...] And, two more shameless self-promotion plugs for the Show Off contest came from Brian Keller and Dan Fernandez. Rumor has it they have some great posters and blog bling coming out soon.

adCenter API Live Meeting July 15th at 1 p.m. PST.

Chris Norred - MSFT — Mon, 16 Jun 2008 17:11:00 GMT

Please join us. The adCenter API Live Meeting session is at 10 a.m. tomorrow, Tuesday, June 17th. The earlier time is to accommodate some of our European customers who were having to log on late at night for the sessions.

The deadline for updating all API code is August 14th. These monthly Live Meeting sessions give you a chance to talk with the program manager or members of the development team and ask questions. The team also provides an overview of changes in functionality and updates required.

This month, we'll talk more about the changes required by June 29th for customers who were already on Version 5. We will also cover the necessary updates to prepare for the retirement of API v4 on August 14th.

adCenter API Live Meeting Sessions are held on the third Tuesday of every month. They are recorded and saved on the adCenter API blog http://www.adcentercommunity.com/blogs/api/.

If you have questions that you'd like the team to address, post them in the comments on the blog or in this thread: http://forums.microsoft.com/msdn/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=3492626&SiteID=1

You can listen to the Live Meetings online, and submit questions via the Live Meeting chat. We will also open a conference call and post the number in the Live Meeting, for those who prefer to call in and listen or talk with the team via phone.

If you have not used Live Meeting before, we recommend visiting API Version 5 Live Meeting a few minutes before the session begins to complete any required installation steps.

Our next webcast will be on July 15th at 1 p.m. PST.
