So what are RD's? Well you can find out about the program which Kevin Schuler of Microsoft runs, and guess what he was a RD too. Read about What a RD is and how to become one. If you want to hear from the RD's themselves and see what they are up to and who they are the 140, the proud the RD's.
This is just an amazing group of people I love being around anytime I get a chance, they are not only technology savvy, have been around Microsoft stuff in most cases longer than I've been alive, but they also have a lot of fans. Being among them is like being among the developer stars! There are more PhD's, book authors, trainers, successful business men and women on this one table combined and we only had 20 who could attend last night.
You can see me way in the back and Kate Gregory who is a super Guru in C++, she delivered a 400 session in C++ at Tech Ed 2008 Orlando yesterday. She had 50 people attend, and I told her it's because of her name and how cool she is and how well known she is, can you imagine a super duper tech talk in C++ that deep.
So a bit of history, the sessions at Tech Ed are numbered mostly 200 are semi technical, 300's show and compile code and 400's not only code on the fly and compile but if they run into errors they fix them super fast. So can you imagine doing that with C++? Only Kate.
Anyway, the table is full of super cool people. And the best part is I get to hang with them again today and show them our http://webmaster.live.com product and the http://search.live.com/developer sites.
For those of you who don't know these super cool people here goes the list: Scott Golightly, Richard Hundhausen, Jaser Elmorsy, me (Ani), Eurico Bras, Scott Stanfield (from Vertigo), Carl Franklin (from .NET Rocks), Fernando Guerrero, Jonathan Zuck (front and center), Dr.Neil, Kate Gregory, Tim Huckaby (from Interknowledgy), Jonathan Goodyear, Ken & Tricia Spencer, Brian Noyes, David Starr (the main guy for the biggest code camp to day!), Chris Menegay.
