Microsoft PDC conference back again next year
BetaNews | at | by Mike
After canceling the 2007 Professional Developer's Conference scheduled for October, Microsoft is bringing back PDC for 2008, with the event scheduled to take place October 27 to 30 in Los Angeles.
Traditionally, PDC is held every 2 years to preview major Microsoft platform advances. PDC 03 highlighted Windows Vista -- Longhorn at the time -- while PDC 05 reiterated that focus with Vista and Office 2007, as well as the recently launched Expression Suite.
PDC 2007 was canceled because Microsoft's major new platform, Windows Server 2008 along with Visual Studio 2008 and SQL Server 2008, were already in developers' hands and in the final stages before their launch in February.
