Virtual Tech Days 2010

Virtual Tech Days is an online event targeted for the people who do not have time for attending in person for large conferences such as Tech-Ed and Community Tech Days. The other idea behind hosting Virtual Tech Days is to leverage Microsoft’s Unified Infrastructure to prove its capabilities.

Today I got an opportunity to take part of Virtual Tech Days to show my capabilities in the area of SharePoint. This was the 1st time I did a public online session using Live Meeting technology and it was very surprised to see more than 500 participants online.

I delivered a session called “SharePoint 2010 and Custom Workflows” which demonstrated the integration with Visio 2010, SharePoint Designer 2010 and Visual Studio 2010 in the Business Process Management vertical within SharePoint.

Community Tech Days-Hyderabad

Today I was lucky to be part of Community Tech Days, Hyderabad and this was my 1st speaking engagement for the Hyderabad community.

Organizing committee decided to have 02 tracks this time due to major focus on the technologies such as Virtualization, SharePoint and Visual Studio. We had 02 tracks – Developer and IT Pro and though we started marketing campaign little late compared to other cities, we got more than 600 participants.

I delivered 01 session on topic “SharePoint 2010 and Custom Workflows” which talks about all the aspects of new workflow services in SharePoint 2010. I wish I had more time to show lot more cool demos but unfortunately I had only 01 hour and 15 minutes to do my session.

I also managed to give 04 books as giveaways and the credits goes to O’REILLY for providing me books on time.

You guys know that photography inside Microsoft Campus, Hyderabad is strictly prohibited and sorry for not able to show you how crowded was the event and my session.
