Microsoft Certified Career Conference

Andy and I did our Windows Phone 60 Minute Rock Star show today. Andy is actually in a rock band and played a proper concert last night. I have a copy of Rock Band and like the Lego version best….

Anhoo, all went well – apart from my laptop freezing and falling off the network, forcing me to spend a nervous five minutes rebooting the thing and getting back into the Live Meeting. Fortunately this happened just at the point where Andy was showing off his Silverlight skills and I was able to drop back in on cue and show some live Cheese Lander action in XNA.

If you were along for the ride this morning, thanks for the perceptive questions at the end, I hope what we did was useful to you. I said I’d put some links in the blog and here they are:

Great fun, and some very perceptive questions.

This is a rolling, 24 hour, web based conference with a whole range of sessions that aim to help you get started in the business of computing. There are sessions on workplace survival, how to build the brand that is you and technical preparations for Microsoft MCP exams.

Andy and I are on at 10:15 on Friday 19th November UK time, talking about becoming a Windows Phone Rock Star. Should be fun. And we must remind you that no guitars will be harmed in the production of this session…
