I just heard from a colleague of mine, John O'Donnell and Architect Evangelist on our ISV Evangelism Team, about a training event happening next week for developers in the Chicago metro area and focused on Windows 7.
This is a multi-day training event and there is quite a broad range of topics being covered during this event. Here's the summary John shared with me. More event details are listed below and can be found on the registration site.
Windows 7 enables developers to build applications on a solid foundation; enable richer application experiences; and integrate the best of Windows and web services. The features and technologies of the Windows 7 operating system enable you to build the next generation of software applications. This event represents your opportunity to gain advance access to technical features and solution scenario information enabling you to build solutions on the new platforms. This is a special event organized specifically to share Microsoft's early, forward-looking plans with our closest partners and customers. You will have the opportunity to provide feedback directly with Microsoft product architects. A current Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) is required for this event.
