As the Developer Evangelist for Northern/Central California,
you will most likely see me in the San Francisco Bay area, as far
north as Sacramento, as far east as Reno, and as far south as San
Louis Obispo.

SmartGrid Event with Juval Lowy

See long description here. Mark this date (April 21) on your calendar. Juval and I are hosting a 4-hour event in San Francisco at the Microsoft
office. Juval and I are passionate about the upcoming breakthroughs happening in
Silicon Valley. This is where the developer jobs will be available. Just type smart grid into a search engine. Keep your
eye on the business pages and you'll see technology giants like Google, Microsoft, and IBM tripping over each other to
announce their latest "smart" technology for tracking energy and emissions from businesses and homes. The economic stimulus
package that won approval in the Senate includes $4.5 billion for smart grid technology and billions more for energy
efficiency. I'm working on an upcoming series with the Bay .NET User Group.
Sign up and start getting announcements. My goal is start educating my brethren about Azure, cloud technologies and how to
apply smart-grid principles. Go to your calendars and mark the date, April 21, San Francisco. That will be your chance to
get ready for the future opportunities. Shoot me an e-mail and let me know your opinion at
bterkaly@microsoft.com.

and Mobile Devices (Level 300)
Wednesday, April 22, 10 am - 11 am

This session explores the similarities and the differences in building mobile communications infrastructures using
Microsoft .NET Compact Framework 3.5 and WCF. Through live demos using Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 and other mobile
tools, we’ll cover the WCF programming model and available layers, the supported channels, integrating with the desktop
and server-side, see how to cover the lack of device addressability, the role of Microsoft Exchange 2007, e-mail and
AirSync, extensibility points, security and more. If you think you know everything about WCF, think again…mobile devices
are also part of the enterprise equation and you need to learn how to reach out to them.
