However if you really keen to go deep like Level 300 stuff as regards to Microsoft’s .NET technologies, then better check out Tech.Ed South East Asia 2008 event at KLCC Convention Centre from 11-14 August 2008

TechEd South East Asia 2008

Mother of all geek’s conference, Tech.Ed is back to KLCC Convention Centre again this year on 11-14 August. There is an early bird ticket of RM699 and to buy just click on the banner above.

With waves of products launch this year (i.e. Windows Server 2008, SQL Server 2008, Visual Studio 2008, Windows Mobile 6.1, Silverlight) it is guaranteed there will be tonnes of contents from our “ang mor” speakers from US and Australia. Of course don’t just come for ang mor, but also catch what our local speakers share about. Some of them whom are MVPs still at MVP Summit in US so I also hope they will bring back cool stuff to share about.

Introducing Walter

Walter is a good friend of mine and we used to worked together in Microsoft. He is now a CTO of am ISV in cyberjaya and he has all the while been very passionate about web technologies and it’s security. A regular speaker on web security issues, his eval score in events like Tech.Ed is much higher even compared to more experienced speakers.

He has got a blog for quite sometime at Live Space talking about web development as well as hacking websites. Recently he has been quite active blogging so I urge my readers to check out his at http://walterwws.spaces.live.com/

Tech.Ed 2008 SEA coming to town!

 

The mother of all geek conferences in Malaysia (and maybe South East Asia) is coming back to Kuala Lumpur from 11-14 August. This year will focus on new products such as Windows Server 2008, Visual Studio 2008 and SQL Server 2008. So again there will be tonnes of tracks about those products for both IT Pros and developers.

In fact you can register now at the official website as a super early bird price now at RM649. Do take advantage of it because the actual price will be RM 1299.00 and you will be getting huge discount also. Also watch out for upcoming Microsoft events because there might be more goodies if you sign up for Tech.Ed in those events. For instance, you can go to TechNet MSDN Road Show to check out more as I will be speaking there as well.
