Microsoft and INETA joined forces for the PDC Underground event on October 29, 2008. They brought together a great bunch of guest speakers. TechZulu brings you each of their talks in there entirety after the jump. Here is a shot bio on each:
Scott Guthrie is corporate vice president of Microsoft's .NET Developer Division, where he runs the development teams responsible for delivering Microsoft Visual Studio developer tools and Microsoft .NET Framework technologies for building client and Web applications.
A founding member of the .NET project, Guthrie has played a key role in the design and development of Visual Studio and the .NET Framework since 1999. Guthrie is also responsible for Microsoft's Web server platform and development tools teams. He has also more recently driven the development of Silverlight – a cross browser, cross platform plug-in for delivering next generation media experiences and rich internet applications for the Web.
Today, Guthrie directly manages the development teams that build the Common Language Runtime (CLR), ASP.NET, Silverlight, Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF), IIS, Commerce Server and the Visual Studio Tools for Web, Client and Silverlight development.
Guthrie graduated with a degree in computer science from Duke University.
Loke Uei Tan has been working for Microsoft for four years. He was voted Top Developer Evangelist for Asia Pacific in 2004. In his current role, he is responsible for creating and deploying technical resource and content to over 800 field evangelists within Microsoft on all Windows Mobile topics and technologies. He is also the Content Lead for the Microsoft Mobile and Embedded Devices Conference 2006. Mr Tan is also a regular contributor of articles on software development, system architecture, and the latest e-commerce trends. He is also a prolific speaker and has spoken in numerous technical conferences covering topics such as software development lifecycle, development tools, and mobile technologies.
Don Box is an architect at Microsoft working on declarative languages and tools to simplify developing applications and services. In that role, Don is involved in creating languages, frameworks, and end-to-end experiences to help people translate their intentions and desires for software into a machine readable and executable form.
Don joined Microsoft in 2002 as an architect of Windows Communication Foundation (WCF), where he worked on software to enable programs to safely and securely interoperate with one another. Don’s responsibilities included both the design and architecture of the runtime stack, as well as interoperability protocols with IBM and other partners.
Don is a respected writer on software development topics, serving as a series editor at Addison Wesley and as a contributing editor to C++ Report, Microsoft Systems Journal (MSJ), and MSDN Magazine. Don’s first book, Essential COM, remains a part of the C++ developer’s canon. Don was the first blogger to publish RSS from a Microsoft web property (http://www.gotdotnet.com/ ) and now (sporadically) maintains a blog at http://www.pluralsight.com/blogs/dbox/ Don has a Master’s degree in Information and Computer Science from U.C. Irvine and a Bachelor’s degree in Mathematics from C.S.U. Long Beach.
Chris Anderson has spent the last ten years at Microsoft as an advocate for the working developer. Chris joined Microsoft in 1997 as a developer on Visual Basic, where he worked on integrating Visual Basic with the Web.
Chris was a part of Microsoft’s Java effort, working as a developer on Visual J++ and the Windows Foundation Classes for Java. Chris’s primary responsibility was to ensure that Java developers had a world-class visual design experience for building Windows applications.
Chris was a founding member of the .NET Framework team where he worked as a developer/development manager on Windows Forms, ASP.NET and the Base Class Library (BCL). In this role, Chris was a key contributor to the design and implementation of every presentation technology used by .NET developers today.
Chris then played a key role in the next generation of this work, Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF). Chris was an architect on WPF, where he focused on the unification of Windows and Web presentation models into a coherent framework. Chris also drove the design and adoption of the eXtensible Application Markup Language (XAML) that is used to separate the declarative specification of presentation from application logic.
Since delivering the first version of WPF, Chris has turned his attention to building languages, frameworks and tools to simplify the task of writing applications and services. Chris now works on the “Oslo” project where he brings to bear his passion for user experience and empathy for the working developer.
Scott Hanselman works out of his home office for Microsoft as a Principal Program Manager, aiming to spread good information about developing software, usually on the Microsoft stack. Before this he was the Chief Architect at Corillian Corporation, now a part of Checkfree, for 6+ years. He was also involved in a few Microsoft Developer things for many years like the MVP and RD programs and He'll speak about computers (and other passions) whenever someone will listen.

Mindshare was truly mind blowing this month. You have to be there in person or if not at least watch it 'Live' here on TechZulu to get the full experience. This month the line up consisted of submarines, robotics, playing with food, and saving lives. We ran into some technical difficulties at the event and unfortunately were only able to save a few talks from the event. We've created a quick event video for you to get a sense of what went on at Mindshare October. To view the talks we were able to save hit the jump. Oh, fortunately we were able to save the Cirque Berzerk, which was simply amazing! |

TechZulu caught up with the LA Mixers crew at their most recent event, hosted at wine bar Eight-18 in Toluca Lake. As always, it brought out a crowd of tech, entertainment, advertising, and entrepreneur types, as well as the valley peeps, of course, since it was on their side of town. The ambiance was inviting, the wine was divine, and the networking was served up. Aside from the usual digital suspects, this time the event appeared to have a mix of old media people hoping to meet and learn from the new media crowd. We caught up with a few and found out why they were there and what they were hoping to get out of it. Check it out! |
