These are the four that I highly recommend. Originally I was going to list the 3 not-to-be-missed sessions, but then I couldn’t drop any of these from my list, so we have 4 Must See Sessions! If you’re not going to TechEd, then please click the links on these speakers’ names to read their blogs where the will eventually post some of their demo code.

I should credit the co-author, Eric Lippert. Both men are brilliant and funny, and very modest. At the Holiday Party this year, Eric Carter got up to sing karaoke and astounded us all with a bouncy rendition of “Sesame Street.” -Christin Boyd, Program Manager, Visual Studio
