Experience in Microsoft Day @ Dhaka (Part 2)

Last time I was finished up to before lunch session. Today I will finish up to last session

Productive Challenges of ASP.NET Website: This presentation had represented by Omar Al Zabir MVP. After the lunch this session was started with full house. Before that day, I never got opportunity to meet him face to face. I only heard about him, Omar is that Omar is this bal bal bal.... and I am surprised that all the chitchat is really true!!! Even he is better than those gossips. He was become the saver of this event. He is incredibly good best speaker, I ever saw after Sam sir. He knows well how to interact with audience. I think 98% audiences were able to march with him till the end. He shows us some mistake that we made in our productive project. This session was become very costly for our company for some technological reason. Anywaz at least we can track the right track. I think .01% audiences find him bad. But there was no doubt he is saver of the day.

Introduction to MS Sharepoint Server: Personally I do not know MJ Ferdous. But  We know each other via MSDN Bangladesh Forum. I called him Ferdous vi. I know he is dreadfully excellent with MOSS. Few months ago I was setup WSS 3.0 for my company. That stages I was taken some assist form him. He has also done a good speech. But he came after Omar Al Zabir MVP.  So somebody might think he is not good. Beside that few people were interested about Sharepoint Server or have some concept about that. He owes thanks from me, becoz he extend his last question amount just for me as far I realize. So, thanks for giving me that break.

Overview of Visual Studio Team System 2010: Mohammad Ashraful Alam MVP was second best speaker of this event. He is three time MVP holder. Within short time he was able to give us a successful overview of Team System 2010. Beside that he the only speaker give speech in Bangla. He was also good with audience interaction. I like his makeover during speech. Moreover he is first speaker who share his PPT (you will find it in MSDN Bangladesh.). Ferdous and Tanzim vi also shared their PPT later. But I thing make me witty that he was wear a suit in hot summer. As far I saw he was only person wear in suit in that event.

Feature of windows 7:  Omi Azad MVP was introducing this session. He was the senior speaker among all other speaker. But he was the youngest speaker by his appearance. He is an interesting speaker. He talks audience as like friends. That brings extra comfortable to audiences. His Q&A session is the best among all Q&A session. Even Omar Al Zabir session Q&A was become second after this session in popular Q&A session categories. He knows well how to make fun. If you were there but missed this Q&A session, it's mean you missed the best shots. I am very sorry for you. Thanks to Omi vi (said not to say him sir) for this stunning session.

I did not able to attend last session and can not find interest in Windows Azure session, so I did not mention those in here.

Conclusion: In that event almost every session some Windows 7 beta CDs was thrown away. This was most indiscipline moment of every session. A level of discipline must be maintain by all, not only organizer but also participant. First organizer should not give gift items if quantity is not good enough. It should not be happened at this level of event. Secondly participants those are run for CDs not only ambushing themselves but also other participants. I think everyone should be understudied this; you are not a kid now. That was a childish act we had done.

It is very easy to say but difficult to do. It is very easy to criticize other. I have no doubt that all speakers tried their level best to interact with us. No doubt they are the best in Bangladesh in their expertise. In this section I just express my experience in that event. I have no intuition to hurt other. If I hurt someone, I am extremely apologetic for that. I can say that in publicly. I have no shame to say sorry, if I make gaffe. I have very little experience in this profession. Hope Microsoft will arrange this kind of event more often. I am anxiously waiting for next one. See you then.

Experience in Microsoft Day @ Dhaka.

Last Saturday Bangladeshi MVPs were arranged an event in Bangladesh for developer and IT professional. This is also directly supported by Microsoft Bangladesh. For the first time I was attending a Microsoft Technology oriented conference. I am very glad to get chance to participant that event. Only 200 developers and IT professionals were get opportunity to join this event.

In that event there were 10 agendas presented by 11 speakers including 5 MVPs. Let discuss each of the topics:

Introduction: The event was behind the time schedule from the starting point. No matter what is the reason this should not be happened. They are blaming IDB authority for this, becoz they does not following DTS time. I hope this will not be happened in future. Thanks to Abhishek Knat, he had done very good job. He had done all the setup within 1 hr.

Opening Speech: Microsoft Bangladesh country manager Feroz Mahmood had represent opening speech. He is Microsoft guy, so obviously he has said all good things about them. He did not forget to tell that Microsoft release DTS hotfix for Bangladesh within 19 days. Also mansion all the social activity currently they are doing in Bangladesh on behalf of Microsoft.

Then Abhishek Knat shows us some very useful links. Actually he was trying to show, how Microsoft is always beside their customer/developer. I think he is also Microsoft guy, but I am not sure about that.

Developing in ASP.NET: Tanzim Saqib is show how to create an ASP.NET web project. With full respect to him, this is most wasted time in the whole event. Most of the developers in that hall are ASP.NET developer. So display this is just a waste of time. This topic distributes the sleeping pill, now only need water. May be I am wrong, some might be fined useful. This is just my own opinion.

My first ASP.NET MVC App: This is one of those topics, which bring me to this event. But I am totally disappointed. This topic content was better and demo are good, but speak is not up to the mark. I don't know why!! Here goes the water. Anywaz this was represented by Mehfuz Hossain MVP.

Unit Testing in MVC and Deo of dotnetshoutouts.com: I think he was so tired during his speech. I was count that he had done minimum 10 min codes without talking to listener. So developers got very good environment to fall on sleep, becoz sleeping pill was already ate. He was also mentioning that during his Q&A session. But I have got some useful open source testing software links, which I was looking for past few days. So this session was become helpful for me. All thanks goes to Kazi Manzur Rahid.

Developing in Silverlight: Last couple of months we are prepared us to fit in WPF.  So this is the most important session for our company, especially Q&A session. Faisal Hossain Khan had done almost every this ok. But lunch time makes the damage. I think he doing well expect Q&A session. Abhishek Knat was brilliantly fixed it up. We have got lot of questions answer. That will help our company to make a good decision.

To be continued..... (Part 2)
