MSDN Live and Steve Ballmer

An entry about conferences | thoughts Publication date 10. October 2008 09:24

On Tuesday last week, Microsoft hosted the final event of the MSDN/Technet Live live tour in Oslo, and I was there to do my Introduction to ASP.NET track. 1200 developers and IT professionals showed up and responded with an impressive amount of noise when Rune Grothaug and his Technet sidekick (don’t know your name, sorry!) went on stage to fire up the crowd and announce the keynote holder – Steve Ballmer:

Steve held a great keynote where he talked about the future of our trade and how Microsoft envisions it (Software + Services, cloud computing, virtualization etc). The amount of energy and enthusiasm he has is impressive, to say the least.

After giving his keynote, us speakers and some representatives from the different .NET user groups got to briefly meet and take a picture with Mr Ballmer:

All in all, it was an awesome day that won’t be soon forgotten :)

Welcome!

My name is Fredrik Kalseth, and this is my blog - thanks for visiting! I am fortunate enough to work with what I love for a living, and this blog is essentially the biproduct of that.

I work as a senior consultant for Capgemini, and am also an active participant in the Norwegian .NET community, as an avid attendee but also as a speaker (most recently at NNUG and MSDN Live).

As a developer, I have a wide circle of interest. My primary passion is for agile, test-driven development, with focus on best practices and clean code. That said, I also love to work on the frontend, especially with web development.

On Twitter? My handle is fkalseth. On LinkedIn? I`m there too.
