Did you miss the opportunity to attend the MSDN Roadshow 2008? If so we are doing a Roadshow rerun giving you a second chance to attend this event. Come along if you want to find out about the latest developer tools and technologies from Microsoft. The MSDN team will focus on what’s coming up next this year for .NET developers beyond Visual Studio 2008. We will also look at Silverlight, ASP.NET, ADO.NET and other future bits which involve more code and less PowerPoint. Please be aware that the content for this rerun is exactly that covered in the other MSDN Roadshow 2008 events – so this event is aimed at Developers who could not make those earlier events. For more details and the original slide deck see http://www.microsoft.com/uk/msdn/events/new/Detail.aspx?id=351
