I've just finished working through the last bits of the web/ux track for Tech Ed ANZ.
If only we had more sessions in this track... Anyway, as you notice from the title the track is the Web and User Experience track. This makes sessions particularly tricky as UX is a big topic in and of itself.
I'm pretty happy with the mix we have. It's getting harder and harder to get the best speakers, and I think that the list below is a very solid representation.
The list below is the track as it stands now. These speakers are locked in. Note that anything with TBC next to it just means the title/abstract hasn't been finalized yet.
| Speaker | Session Title |
| Scott Hanselman | Developing ASP.Net Applications using the Model View Controller pattern |
| Scott Hanselman | RESTful data services with the ADO.Net Data Services Framework |
| Harry Pierson | Microsoft Silverlight and Dynamic Languages |
| Hank Janssen | Managing IIS Infrastructure (TBC) |
| Hank Janssen | PHP, FastCGI and IIS7 (TBC) |
| Jonas Folleso | Silverlight 2 for Developers |
| Trent Mankelow(NZ)/Susan Wolfe (AU) | Self Service Usability |
| Jefferson Fletcher | IE8 for Developers (TBC) |
| Jefferson Fletcher | IE8 Compatibility (TBC) |
| Nigel Parker (NZ)/Shane Morris (AU) | Designing XAML applications using Expression Studio 2.x (TBC) |
| Scott Cate | ASP.Net AJAX Deep Dive (TBC) |
| ScottHa, Scott Cate, Harry, Jonas, Hank, Jefferson | Web futures panel - where is it all going and what challenges are ahead? (TBC) |
I welcome your feedback - if you think the mix should be different or you want to see a talk tweaked, let me know.
I'm particularly interested in feedback around the panel. Futures can be a bit fluffy, so if you could ask these folks any technical question at all, what would it be? Maybe I'll start compiling a list now...
