More than 2,500 software developers and IT professionals will descend on the Gold Coast to attend Tech.Ed and registrations have already passed 90 per cent of capacity. “We expect Tech.Ed Australia 2010 to sell-out,” said Vaughan.
The three key areas that Tech.Ed 2010 will focus on this year include: Cloud, Client and the Web.
- Cloud: Delegates will be shown how to benefit from cloud services, Azure and Microsoft Online Services (MOS), as well as applications available over the cloud, including products that enable you to build private clouds, such as SQL and virtualisation.
- Client devices: With ten Windows licenses sold every seven seconds, people are recognising the compelling proposition of the rich client platform. At Tech.Ed 2010, delegates can explore the opportunities available with Windows 7, and with forthcoming products like Windows Phone 7, Internet Explorer 9 and Natural User Interfaces (NUIs).
- Web: Delegates can experience the benefits of building the richest possible experiences for the web using a breadth of unparalleled tooling and platforms including Expression Studio 4 to Visual Studio 2010, Internet Explorer 9, Silverlight 4 and HTML5.
- Other key tracks include Office 2010 and SharePoint, Windows Server, Data Platform and Business Intelligence solutions.
The Tech.Ed 2010 keynote will be presented by Microsoft Australia’s Michael Kordahi and will feature August de los Reyes, principal user experience manager with Windows Design and Research at Microsoft, who will outline Microsoft’s vision of the relationship between people and computers, the future of design and the potential of Natural User Interface (NUI).
