Feel the heat of 7 on 7 Dhamaka @ Dhaka.
Yesterday Microsoft community arranges a window 7 launch celebration party on Dhaka. This is second time community arrange this kind of event. This event was quite systematize and resourceful than previous event. It is a courtesy to say thanks to the entire team and those are directly/indirectly related to organize this event for us.
First of all I need to address that this event was for IT Professionals not for developers. If you were expecting some code, so you will be disappointed. Yes there was an agenda for developer.
The event was started on time; Organizer did the right work, last event was almost one hour late. I was failed to attend on time. As a penalty I missed Keynote speech and some part of Ferdous vi session. I saw that he was showing history of windows. After his speech a tea break was taken.
Introduction to Windows 7: Omi Azad MVP was introducing this session. At the beginning he was showing some side that was already he shown on last event. I though this will be unexciting session for me. But suddenly he was start showing his magic. New slide were bringing in with very important resource. As developer I got a new clue for develop software with Bangla interface.
IE 8 and Windows Live Services: Ashic Mahtab MVP was introducing this session. He was showing feature of IE 8. We had already familiar with most of those features, if we are using FF or Google Crome. I am not a full time web developer, but one feature has caught my eye as a web development point of view. In IE 8 there is feature where you can bookmark a DIV. They are calling this “WebSlice”. You can load only this part as like RSS. I never saw this feature before. He said that its need to be done some code for activate this feature in web. I will share more information if I get a chance to look at this.
Windows Lightning Talks: This was actually a Q&A session. Omi Azad MVP was answering most of the question. All questions were related to Windows 7. We had already known that Omi vi is a fun loving guy. This was most interesting session for all of us, especially when we said “Dari raklay to Dari hoba”!!!!
Windows 7 for Developers: This was the only agenda for developers. In session, we were introduced how we can build application targeting windows 7. In here we got hint for making multi touch application. This session was represented by Mohammad Ashraful Alam MVP.
Constructive Criticize: Criticize is not a bad thing, sometime people does not take this as a good manner. But I always believe that without criticized your work by other you will never able to go ahead. Your well wisher always shows your mistake not your good, becoz they want you to see as perfect.
This event was overcome most of the error they had done on previous event. The event was so short in time. If there were put lighting talk in last topics other presentation got some space. The tea session was too long. Almost 30 min it makes the event out of the time. We had a big complain about feedback form. It had lot of mistake. I am not taking about on T-Shirt issue. There was a table for rate the event. By mistake we had asked to rate about the Microsoft Day @ Dhaka event!!! This was a silly mistake. Someone copy that from previous event file and forget to edit that. I can remember that our teachers were always said “Never make mistake my name spelling, or you will not pass the assignment paper”. Gift distribution system was more improved than previous. I did not found any agenda presentation slide inside CD. I think it should be given with that as like PDC event.
I am hopeful that next time; Microsoft will try to arrange an event for developer.
