Servervirtualisierungssessions der TechED 2010 Europe
Anfang November fand in Berlin die diesjährige Microsoft TechEd 2010 Europe statt. Die TechEd ist eine Veranstaltung, die sich vor allem an Techniker wendet. In 5 Tagen erfährt der Teilnehmer alles, was momentan im Hause Microsoft technologisch eine Rolle spielt. Die meistens Session werden von Microsoft Mitarbeitern aus den Produktteams oder aber Microsoft Most Valueable Professionals (MVPs) gehalten. Wenn man die Gelegenheit hat, an diesem Event teilzunehmen so ist es trotzdem unmöglich, alle interessanten Sessions zu besuchen. Da ist es ein Glück, dass Microsoft die meisten Sessions aufzeichnet und diese zum späteren Anschauen ins Web stellt. Jetzt könnte man meinen dieser Service stände nur Teilnehmen der TechEd als Bonus zur Verfügung. Weit gefehlt: Jeder kann sich die Session anschauen.
Daraus ergibt sich aber direkt ein Problem: Welche der ca. 340 Aufzeichnungen sind für mich die richtigen? Um
Ihnen zumindest im Bereich Servervirtualisierung etwas zu helfen, haben wir die wichtigstens Mitschnitte aus dem Bereich Microsoft Servervirtualisierung hier für Sie zusammengetragen und verlinkt. Sie finden neben den Speakern auch deren Beschreibung in englischer Sprache. Ach, das sei noch erwähnt: Da die TechEd eine europäische Veranstaltung ist, sind alle Vorträge in Englisch. Viel Spaß beim Anschauen.
