Topic: The Best of Build with Richard Campbell
Back in 2009, Richard Campbell presented a session on his thoughts of what he'd seen and learned at PDC 2009. Now he's back to talk about Build 2011. While we can't know for sure (at the time this abstract was written) exactly what Build is going to be about, expect a long conversation about Windows 8, the role of HTML 5, CSS3 and Javascript in software development going forward, whether or not Silverlight really is dead, and how Windows is going to shape development in the future. Expect Richard to not only provide some insight into these new technologies, but point out where there are opportunities to advance your career and increase your income with what's coming next.
