Earlier this month we did MIX in Las Vegas and the feedback from the event was very positive. The good news is that we will be doing a lightweight version called Remix in Johannesburg - for free. There will be speakers coming out from Europe for this event.
The event is intended not just for developers but also designers and dev managers.
The tentative topics look like this. Note that the topics can change. In some cases there is some overlap with Devdays (done on purpose as Remix is in Johannesburg only) so you might want to look at what sessions you attend at Devdays if you intend going to both events.
| Developer Track: | Designer Track: |
| Understand the future of web development | Go deep on Expression Studio, |
| Gain insight into how Visual studio “Orcas” will enable you to efficiently build AJAX applications | Look at Windows Presentation Foundation in detail |
| Go deep with Silverlight | Understand how to design for Silverlight |
| Understand how to implement rich UI for web applications | See how rich media can be used to optimise search engine results |
| Learn how to mash-up Windows Live capabilities into your own applications. | Understand how to work with video production, |
| | See real world examples of WPF in action. |

Weirdly enough I have not blogged about Devdays 2007 - I guess it must be because I am so busy prepping those Orcas demos - and there is a lot of stuff - and I mean a lot. I have no idea how to fill them in and if I can even get up to speed on all of them.
So if you are not aware Devdays is around the corner and we have sessions on topics like AJAX, Office Development, IIS7, Silverlight and Orcas.
