53 Cloud Computing and Online Services Sessions at TechEd North America 2011

The breakdown:

  • 1 Pre-Conference Seminar
  • 17 Break-Out Sessions
  • 7 Interactive Discussions
  • 6 Windows Azure Workshops
  • 17 Hands-On Labs
  • 4 Birds-of-a-Feature Get-Togethers

Seems to me that Break-Out Sessions got short shrift this year.

Update 5/9/2011 3:25 PM PDT: Added two Visual Studio LightSwitch break-out sessions and one HOL (see end of post).

Track Description

Software-plus-services is the next logical step in the evolution of computing. It represents an industry shift toward software design that is neither exclusively PC- nor browser-centric and blends traditional client-server architecture with cloud-based software delivery. The Cloud Computing & Online Services track provides information about Microsoft technology and innovation in software-plus-services. Topics include coverage of the soon-to-be-released next version of the suite: Microsoft® Office 365. Learn about enterprise-ready software services from Microsoft Online Services, such as Microsoft® Exchange Online, Microsoft® SharePoint® Online, Microsoft® Lync™ Online, Microsoft Office Communications Online, and Microsoft Dynamics® CRM Online. Gain in-depth information about the Windows Azure™ Platform, where developers can take advantage of an Internet-scale cloud services platform hosted in Microsoft data centers to build new applications in the cloud or extend existing applications.

Office 365 content appears to be missing.
