TechReady 8

As you probably know by now. I joined Microsoft at the beginning of December 2008. I have been in ramp up mode while trying to contribue as much as possible on sales calls, QA for one of our solutions, and of course all that HR required training.

Today we are less than a week away from Microsoft’s internal technology conference for folks in the field, people just like me!
I am excited about attending my first TechReady. I’ve heard about this conference, kind of like a TechEd but with no marketing.  Highly technical awareness & training.  It was a challenge building my schedule of sessions that I want to attend.  And in more than one time slot I have 2 or 3 sessions that I still have not made up my mind on which one I will be attending.   The tool even syncs up with my Calendar.  That Schedule builder tool was pretty neat and simple to use. I only wish it had to option to automatically suggest a schedule based on topics of interest in combination with my “Track”, in my case Architecture Delivery in SOA.

I will also help one of my colleagues, Chris Madrid, in a Hands On Lab. I will be a proctor during this lab and I am looking forward to answer questions on the SOAInfrastructure solution that the team has put together.  I kind of remember  when I was a Sybase & PowerBuilder instructor back in the day….  those days spent teaching RDBMS design, Sybase administration and deployment, PowerBuilder Basic and Advanced courses in Monterrey, Torreon and Merida.
